How to run tweakbox app on Xcode simulator - ios

There is a tweaked app store called tweakbox for iPhone. I don't have any ios devices except my Macbook pro. I tried to run the tweakbox app using an Xcode device simulator (Virtual ios device). the tweakbox is successfully installed using the profile provided on their website (https://www.tweakboxapp.com/) but I can't install the apps from within the tweakbox. The install button doesn't do anything. it is the same for all the apps.
Did anyone ever try to do this?

Is there a way to debug an iOS app or use TestFlight on a MacBook M?

So I have an iOS app that runs on iPhone/iPad, and runs also on M1 Macs. I have an M1 MacBook Air, and I can install the app just fine from the App Store, but I have some issues to track down that only show up on the M1. For example, when I stretch the screen beyond what an iPad can show. I would love to either install the app from Xcode, and debug it directly, or install it from TestFlight or by another method other than from the public App Store so that I can at least try some things before releasing the app. Is there any way to do this that anyone has figured out?
I did not find a way to install it from TestFlight but running from Xcode is easy. Just select My Mac (designed for iPad) as the run target. It's at the top of the dropdown list where you'd normally select the Simulator.
I just found out today that you can download TestFlight from AppStore on Mac M1 with Monterey.

Can't see or download OTA app from iPad in devices in Xcode

Our customer installs the iOS app via OTA on their iPads. Before, we would be able to download the apps from the iPads for debugging purposes and to extract the CoreData sqlite databases, from within the "Devices and Simulators" in Xcode.
However, this does not seem to be possible anymore since our app is not visible in the "Installed Apps" section. We are trying to this from the same mac where the app/ipa was originally build, so all certificates and provisioning profiles are there.
We are using Xcode 9.4.1 on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and the iPads are iPad4 with iOS 11.4.1. I can't say for sure when this has stopped working, but I suspect it was after the last Xcode/iOS upgrade.
Is anyone experiencing the same problems?
Clarification: we have no trouble downloading the apps via OTA to the iPads and the apps are working as expected.

The device does not recognize this host. when trying iphone 4 with iOS 7.1

i have app that i run successfully on iphone 5 with iOS 8.1
now with the free provisioning i like to test the app on iphone 4 with iOS 7.1
but after successfully compiling the app when i try to run it with the play button im getting :
The device does not recognize this host.
Please check your setup and try again. (0xE800001C).
also the deployment target is 5.1
what can be the problem ? using Version 6.3.2 (6D2105)
It worked for me when i reconnect device and you will get a popup like this
And then click on Trust. After that it will take some time to copying data to your computer and then you can use this device in xcode.

Unable to run iOS 7.1.2 device in xcode 5.1.1

I've just updated my iPhone to iOS 7.1.2, and I can no longer run my apps through xcode 5.1.1. And I can't install apps with this iOS version too.
To solve this issue do the following:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
It will prompt you to allow the computer to access the device.
If you accept, the device should be properly recognized by Xcode too and selectable to run your app.
Still no clue why this happened in first place, after updating to iOS 7.1.2.

xcode installs app on iphone but does not run in Xcode

Ive added a new device (iPhone 5s) to test my app using xCode 5.0.2. The app installs onto the phone without running in Xcode.
When you select the play button on Xcode, the app builds successfully and installs the app. If you open the app on the iphone it works well - when you close the app on the iPhone, Xcode crashes !!!!
Its kind of working as neat way of getting the app onto a device without load time - but I need to see my logs in Xcode as the app is running on my device.
you need to make sure that you keep the device connected to the computer and thus Xcode while running the app, any NSLog you have or error you get will show up
