Answer 1

Seems your ipa file is not a debug enabled build. Check with your developer to get a debug enabled ipa file.

Answer 2

It helps me

In iOS You need to have the app with debug permissions. Contact your development team to provide you build with debug permissions.

AppName.app (for simulator) and AppName.ipa (for iphone/ipad physical device) are the two files needed and created using Xcode IDE. You need to build the app as DEBUG/RELEASE (in XCODE -> Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme -> Select RUN on the left panel -> Select INFO on top menu bar -> To the right of Build Configuration toggle between Release (creates an IPA*) and (Debug creates an APP). COMMAND+B will build your project. After the build process completes navigate to DerivedData folder which can be found using this: (in XCODE -> File -> Workspace Settings -> click on small arrow to the right of file URL. The file URL is just above the "Advanced..." button.

See XCODE (Window -> Organizer -> Archives -> Export -> Adhoc to create the IPA file).
