error MT1006: Could not install the application on the device

Question

Hi,

Why I keep getting:

error MT1006: Could not install the application on the device: Your code signing/provisioning profiles are not correctly configured. Probably you have an entitlement not supported by your current provisioning profile, or your device is not part of the current provisioning profile. Please check the iOS Device Log for details (error: 0xe8008016).

It works fine on the simulator but this error is thrown only when deploying to the device.

Console's Output is attached..

Kindly help...

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

It works fine on the simulator but this error is thrown only when deploying to the device.

To test on a physical device, the device must be provisioned.

• First of all you need to have an active subscription to Apple's Developer Program , or use Free Provisioning (Apple introduced Free Provisioning in Xcode 7 which allows a single application to run on a single device without being a member of Apple's Developer Program. There are a number of limitations when provisioning in this way, as detailed here).
• Then visit the Apple Developer Portal and register as an Apple developer, it is necessary to have an Apple ID .
  • Then request a Certificate, and register the device on which the application will be deployed.
  • Then provision your iOS device (Automatically / Manually ) .

Refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/get-started/installation/device-provisioning/#provisioning-for-application-services.
