Xcode 4.4 - There was an internal API error - xcode

Hi I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. I created an empty Single View Application and run it. The first time it runs fine but the next runs will give me the "There was an internal API error" pop-up warning TWICE. It's the same with my other projects. They run okay once but gets this error the next runs. There was no warning or any specific warning message of any kind.
Any idea how to solve this?
Would really appreciate your help.

I have it working on iOS6 Beta 4!! This is what I did but other variations may also work:-
Install XCode 4.5 Developer Preview 4
Delete your app from the device
Run your app from Dev Preview 4
Delete your app again (not sure if you have to do this)
Return to XCode 4.4.1
Run your app, stop running, run again!!!
Of course you could continue developing in 4.5, but I prefer to wait.
Installing 4.5 Beta 4 installs updated device support. Once this is done once (possibly on any device) it should work fine. If you use the same device on a different machine you will have to again run it once from 4.5 Beta 4 before using your preferred version of Xcode (You do not need to delete the app from your device this time).
Edit: I am pretty sure that if you make a change to your core data you will need to run from 4.5 for the first time also.

Don't know if this helps, but I've deleted all files in ${HOME}/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport and it worked as a charm (Xcode 4.4.1, OSX 10.7)

I had this problem when I upgraded my device to Preview4 but had my MBP still running Xcode Preview3. Updating to Xcode Preview4 made the problem go away for me, no restarts necessary.

Deleting the app manually from the device/simulator will allow you to build and run successfully. A long term solution is to not use a Beta Xcode :)

Sounds crazy but you can also not use the Beta version of XCode 4.
However, you must keep it in your left hand to authorize your iPhone to compile with the non Beta version (don't ask me why, it works).
If you run your app with XCode 4.5 preview & IOS6 Beta 4, the second time you run your app on the device, you'll get the internal API error.
In theory, you cannot use XCode 4.4 to compile on your iOS6 Beta 4 iPhone.
But...
It seems that, if you launch XCode 4.5 Preview, connect your iPhone (so it is recognized), run the application on it (even if you get the error), quit XCode 4.5, launch XCode 4.4 and .. tadaaaa... your iPhone is now recognized as an authorized device to compile on...
And of course, XCode 4.4 doesn't generate the api error...

I have Xcode 5.0.2 and iPhone with iOS 7.0.6.
Every time when I launched my project on iPhone, I saw "There was an internal API error". And it was launched on simulator without any problems.
I did all the stuff that usually helps (like remove an app, clean, restart Xcode, restart a mac, etc.).
This problem went away only after I restored the iPhone. Sad but true.
I don't know so far, why it appeared.

Failed to start remote service on device problem in xcode

I create a flutter app and now I'm trying to run it through XCode on my real iPhone, but after the installation finishes, I face the following problem:
Also with I trying to run the application on my real phone, after clicking on the application icon, I face a white screen appears, and then the application closes directly.
Catalina 10.15.3
IOS 14.2
XCODE 11.7
Also I was make a trust to app in phone
Does anyone know the reason for this problem?
This problem maybe because of two reasons:
First: Xcode 11.7 doesn't have support files for iOS 14 you can download it from here https://github.com/filsv/iPhoneOSDeviceSupport
Second: I have this problem now and I couldn't fix it.. but I have iPhone with iOS 14.2 and iPad with iOS 14 so the problem was just on the iPhone but after I updated the iPad with iOS 14.2 it happened with it.. so the problem maybe because of the iOS 14.2 so we have to wait for the update or because of the Xcode 11 version and we have to download the Xcode 12 version..
I hope we can find a solution quickly...
make sure to have the latest system update on your target device and the latest Xcode version as well. The error should disappear.
Best,
Ralf
I have fixed the problem by using the above solution but it has happened again. So, I have followed these instructions and fixed again:

A good first place to look is Window > Devices & Simulators in xCode, then find the details for your device. There may be error information here that helps you find the fault.
Restarting devices and installing updates seem to fix this problem for a lot of people.
For me, there was a red notice in the device window about connection to the device and it turned out to be the cable that was at fault.
This was an official Apple cable, just a few months old, and still works fine for charging and data transfer; and I've been using it with xCode without problems for a couple of months. It seems to be possible for Apple cables to develop some tiny physical fault that seemingly only xCode is sensitive to.
Using a different cable worked first time for me.
There seem to be a few variations on the exact error message with the same root causes varying depending on exactly what xCode was trying to do at the exact moment it failed: I'm on xCode 12 and for me it was:
Failed to start remote service on device
Failed to start remote service com.apple.installation_proxy on device

Run debugging on device cause Xcode 6.0.1 to crash

Yesterday i updated to the latest version of Xcode, since the update i experience a very strange glitch:
When i try to run the app on a device the Xcode start with the process and say "finish run the app on iPhone" and then the Xcode crashes.
what could cause this problem?
before the update everything worked perfect.
I was seeing this same issue and even trying to view the device from Window -> Devices would cause Xcode to crash. I updated the device to the latest version of iOS (8.0.2) and that seems to have fixed the problem (for this afternoon at least).

Resetting Xcode's device/version list to run

I want to test/run my app on different iOS versions in Xcode, but somehow I can't see any option to change iOS simulator version (I have both 6 and 7 SDK/Simulator installed) in run targets. I'm also seeing all of my attached devices twice (I have only ONE iPod, but when I connect something else, they all display twice):
There's probably a bug with the device list of Xcode. How can I reset this list? I've tried resetting the scheme, but scheme is project related anyway. The problem occurs in all projects, not only a single project.
First of all, you have to install the 6.1 Simulator.
After that, you can choose which simulator version to use:
I've figured out the problem. I was on the "Latest iOS SDK" which was 7.1 SDK (I also have XCode 5.1DP installed). I've changed the base SDK to 7.0 and I am again able to choose. I still have two entries for each physical device but I can live with that.

IOS5 IOS 5 (9A334) iPhone 4 XCode 4.2 4D199 Lion 10.7.2 Instruments 4.2 (4233) Not Working

Can not seem to get an iPhone 4 with IOS 5 connecting to instruments. Tried from XCODE Profile and Attaching to Process with no luck. Anyone else seen this?
Same setup works fine with IOS 4.2.1
But, does the same thing (does not work) with IOS 4.3.5 (8L1)
Build target is 4.2, no change if build target changes...
Need to do some run time performance analysis.
Have to hard stop the Instruments tool after every run for some reason. Then will work fine from XCODE / PRODUCT / PROFILE. At least on this setup.

XCode 3.2.4 iOS 4.1 (Final) and CoreData Crashes in Simulator

I've got 2 applications using Core Data with a sqlite persistent store. I've got a data loader routine that I run to populate the CoreData DB from csv files. During development, when my data changes I run the routine from the simulator to generate new databases and copy the new one into the project.
This has been working quite well for XCode 3.2.3 and iOS 4.0. It even works in the XCode 4 Preview 2 and 3. I just installed the final version of XCode 3.2.4 and iOS 4.1. Now my db loader fails. It gives me no message, no warning, no nothing. It just dumps out to the spring board and XCode gives me the "Debugging Terminated" message. It will fail at different times during the load so I'm pretty sure it's not a data issue. I'm not doing any threading. I assume the issue has to do with either Core Data or sqlite, since that's when the crash occurs, but with no info reported I can't tell for sure.
I uninstalled everything. Xcode 3.2.4, Xcode 4 preview (assuming it was an issue caused by XCode 4) and reinstalled XCode 3.2.3/iOS 4.0. Things returned to normal. After getting some work done I attempted to upgrade to 3.2.4/iOS 4.1 again. I uninstalled 3.2.3/iOS 4.0, rebooted. Installed 3.2.4/iOS 4.1, rebooted and tried again. No luck. Same hard crash. Same lack of messaging as to the cause.
I have determined that this only happens with the Simulator with XCode 3.2.4, the device is fine as is XCode 4 and 3.2.3. I've tried playing with the target OS selection (3.0,3.1,4.0,4.1). I've tired adjusting the Compiler from GCC 4.0, GCC 4.2,LLVM GCC 4.2, LLVM 1.5. I've tried setting the Base SDK to iOS Simulator 4.1. Interestingly enough it will work in the iPad simulator when using the 3.2 SDK. So I've at least go that as a work around.
I guess there is one of 3 issues:
An issue with my code that has been uncovered by 3.2.4.
Bug in 3.2.4.
A configuration issue that I've missed.
If anybody has any troubleshooting ideas or answers I'd love to hear them. I've been doing iOS full time since V 2.1 and I am seriously stumped.
Thanks in advance,
I figured out my issue. It looks like the CoreData/Sqlite connection was a total red herring. Following a tip I read on SO, I used OSX's Console application and got a critical message "Failed to launch in time" that was not being displayed in XCode's debugger console.
It looks like the process was being killed due to what is essentially a timeout error. The iPhone will kill an application that takes too long to complete "didFinishLaunching." That's where I was kicking the data load routine off from. The new version of XCode must have adjusted it's timeout values.
So my takeaway is give OSX's console a shot if XCode isn't telling you everything and watch out for those red herrings.
When I upgraded I ran into troubles in the simulator when saving the managedObjectContext. I finally deleted my sqlite CoreData store file and have not run into similar problems. Try deleting your data file (well save a copy of it before deleting to see what is different).
