Using Xcode 4.5.2 and building for iOS4 or newer, I get this message when building for my device (iOS 6.0.1 on 4s). I dismiss the dialog then relaunch the app on my device which seems to work. I am newer to iOS development, so I aplogize in advance if this is a silly question.

Thank you in advance for your help.

My issue was using Distribution provisioning profile for signing the app, once I made a development provisioning profile, the app installed and ran on iPhone just fine.
