Any idea what caused this because the day before I had no trouble viewing another app on my device.

I assume then your phone is jailbroken as that isn't the way to go about it. Comments Or you just dragging the IPA into iTunes?

It's much better to load the app into your device using Xcode, the way it was meant to be done. You can fine a reference to the iTunes method in the Apple documentation on testing and distribution.

If so Mark is your man, do it via Xcode. Back in the day I spoofed my jailbroken phone to load an IPA I created in BT without having Xcode, worked but very dirty.

Then try to sync again. This might help. Comments Try to drag the mobileprovision file you signed your app, to itunes. Then try to sync again. This might help.

I tried everything except xcode which I'll have to do when I get back to school in a couple of weeks. Thanks for he suggestions.
