I just buy a Pro licence to launch my first Xojo iOS App on the AppStore. I test successfully my app on simulator. But I can not test my app (or any other sample app provided by Xojo sample) to my real device. I already read documentation and configure Xcode, developper account etc. I can easily run a my Xojo App From from Xcode on my device. When I try to run my Xojo App from Xojo IDE I have the following message. I have the following message : Since we could not locate the target IDE to start a debug session, this application will now exit Any idea ? ---

First, please make sure you’ve selected **App Store** instead of **development** in the IDE build settings. It’s a subtle but not obvious requirement, Also, make sure your device is plugged into your computer. WiFi debugging does work, but it’s very picky the first time. ---

It’s in the iOS build settings, not Shared. ---

I found the solution in the “Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles” of my Apple Developer account. I selected all my devices including my Mac, previously I had only selected my iPhone. Apparently, that wasn’t enough! ![Capture d’écran 2023-03-12 à 10.46.13](https://forum.xojo.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3a43434129056e9fb6a8fa80232465a9aef8ad0b.png)
