Hi,

Even i was facing the same issue but then i tried to run the build directly on the device and then i fetched .app from the xcode(open the xcode->on the left corner you see the folder with name “show the project navigator” copy that .app to your local system) use this app and set this path instead of previous one. Try to run your code. I hope it should work!
