No Provisioned iOS devices are available

Right after installing Xcode4(4a304a), tried to test run a project on iOS device, and the "No Provisioned iOS devices" dialogue box appeared..

Organizer shows the iPhone is connected with a green light.

I've tried restarting the iPhone & Xcode, and reinstalling provisioning profile, still the same dialogue box appears.

iPhone is running 4.2.1, worked fine with Xcode before the upgrade. Thinking might be something wrong with Xcode4 installation? Anything else I can try before doing a reinstall?

Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Never mind..

I changed the deployment target to 4.2 then it worked..

I only wish the error message could be more helpful to point it out in the first place.....

From the leftmost pane you'll see at the top your project.

Select your project.

Next you'll see a new "main" panel. From there select your project and then on the Info tab at the top you'll see Deployment Target. Select 4.2 from there and all should be good.

Apple support/development if you are reading this, please make this error message more clear or provide hints as to how to fix. As the original poster said, the message is misleading. I spent a lot of time on the developer portal trying to figure out why I could not run some source that was provided with a book I bought and it was because the downloaded code was set for 4.3 and I had to change to 4.2. Please help make your product easier to use.

K T,

Thanks for the link. I did report this to Apple. Had to submit the request twice, the first time the site gave an error that the submit had caused an error.... LOL

Fortunately I had copied to my clipboard the long post describing the problem so it did not take very long to submit a second time. I suggested they have some hints or a better error message to check the target version as it does not match the connected device iOS version.

I was having the same issue. Changing the Profile did not make any difference. I opened Organizer and it was showing that I didn't have a valid Developer Profile. Clicking on the "Use this device" solved it for me.

The "Use this phone for development" fixed the problem for me. I had updated my iPod Touch to iOS 5 and this must have reset the previous binding that I had done. It didn't click that the "incompatible iOS" really meant the device hadn't been marked for development on this computer. The device showed up on the organizer correctly, but Xcode wouldn't use it until you marked it for development.
