    i’m new to gapdebug, so perhaps this is a simple setting issue.

    i have an app built with cordova. running ios 8.3.0, my xcode is updated to 6.3. my ios device (iphone) appears under device&apps, but when i launch my app via xcode with the device as the target, the app does not appear under the device in devices&apps.

    the certs and provisioning profile are in order so i dont’ think that’s the issue.

    what am i missing?

    btw, thanks for this tool, it’s exactly what’s been missing in my workflow.

    Check the following:

    1) did you sign your ios app using a developer certificate and provision profile
    This is an apple requirement. If no see the ios developer portal for creating a these 2 artifacts. In the portal they are different from ad hoc cert/profiles.

    2) did you enable webkit inspector under the device’s safari settings
    see sections 2.2, https://www.genuitec.com/products/gapdebug/learning-center/configuration/
    If you find that the webkit inspector setting needed to be changed you may want to unplug the device from the usb cable and then reconnect it.

    I’ve the exact same problem.

    Im running with

    # cordova run ios –debug

    I’ve web inspector enabled on the device.

    I’m not sure if i have it signed with a dev certificate. I know i created a certificate and provisioning profile for push notificaitons and push notifications are working, is the same thing?

    How can I check if my app is signed or not, or where to look in xcode.

    I’m not sure how to distinguish a developer cert and provision profile from an ad hoc distribution profile by just looking at the files.

    Personally I manage several certs and provision profiles. For each of these I try to name with a descriptive name according to their type, app id, expiration date…

    I would start by opening the apple ios developer portal and verify that you have created a developer certificate and provision profile. If you don’t have the resources then create them.

    Next configure your xcode project’s build settings to use the developer certificate/provision pair. Then rebuild the app.

    Lastly, I would stop and restart GapDebug to force a full reset of its connection state.

    Let me know what you learn.
