Xcode project runs, says it sent project to iPod, but no icon

I tried searching for this, but didn't exactly know how to search. I FINALLY got all my certificates and provisioning profiles set up and matching, in the end I just revoked my certificate and started all over, worked fine. I added my iPod as a device, it had a green light beside it on the devices tab in XCode, provisioning profile looked good, so I went to run the project to my iPod. No problem, it took about 45 seconds, and I got the "Build Successful" message rather than the confounded "Build Failed" message I'd gotten so many times. The message said something like "ran to iPod" or something like that - it wasn't that exactly. I had the iPod connected to the Mac and it was turned on, so that isn't it either. So normally at this point, XCode would put the icon for my app to test on the iPod, right? Well, I got nothing. Tried again, looked at the profile to make sure it was development and not distribution, everything looks fine. Still can't download to my iPod. I can choose the iPhone simulator or iPad simulator, and it looks fine, I just can't test the app on my iPod. Any ideas or suggestions? Should I just keep testing it on the simulator and not worry about it, or will that ultimately lead to a problem when I get to the point where i want to build the app for submission? Much obliged, Buzztouch gang!

Got nothing like the app was in iTunes fine but when you sync your iPod it says on the iPod screen "iTunes Sync...."app name" failed to install" iPod Touch 4th gen/3rd gen? iOS version? I am assuming BT 1.5? Have you gone to the Provisioning Portal and insured that you have all you devices and correct UDID's. Thanks

You can have a green light by your device in Organizer but that doesn't mean your apps will run on it. Personel experience here (>.<)

Neither of those errors, it compiles and says build successful. It's an iPod touch 3rd gen I think, I will try to find out, but the firmware is current. I'm running buzztouch 2.0 server. Also tried non self hosted, version 2.0, same issue. Baffling.

I ran into the same thing building for my older iPhone 3G. maddenning. easy fix: you just need to add the armv6 architecture as outlined here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4198676/warning-iphone-apps-should-include-an-armv6-architecture-even-with-build-config

@ATRAIN - You rock. This solved it. Pretty big pain in the neck figuring out, I bet for you, but really easy to implement! Thank you - it's showing up on my iPod now! Edited: Is there anything funky I will need to know or do when compiling it for distribution?

"The original iPhone, iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch generations 1 & 2 ONLY supported the armv6 instruction set. Every device since then has support for both armv6 and armv7."... nice fix!
