Appium - Developer profile

I created a IPA file with Developer provisioning profile and installed the application on my device successfully. When I try to invoke my application through appium, it always throws the following error message.

info: [debug] [INST STDERR] 2014-09-16 15:50:42.184 instruments[3425:507] Permission to debug com.ampchroma.simplexgrinnell.uat.mobilecontainer was denied.  The app must be signed with a development identity (e.g. iOS Developer).

Logs:

Make sure that app should be in debug mode to do automation and signed with the developer certificate.

For Instruments/Appium to connect to the application on a real device you need to Have the .ipa file signed with a "Development" certificate that includes the UDID of the target device You can not use a "Distribution" certificate, which is what all App Store builds are signed with.

You can try below other options, any of them might work for you:

1) make sure you are using correct path of xcode in appium app.

2) firstly install the app from xcode on your device and then try to run through appium app.

3) make sure you are using correct app path,if you're running on real device it should be the path of "debug-iPhones" otherwise "debug0iPhoneSimulator" directory

4) make sure you're giving correct udid of device and bundleid of your app in appium app

I ran into this problem last week. My developer had to sign the IPA with the device UDID, then it worked. Providing the UDID in the appium ios settings is not enough.

Here are some decent resources:

Detailed video on your exact error

Hope that helps!
