My app runs great in the simulator, and has been working great on device as well. Today I am trying to install on device and the app crashes. It still works in the simulator. I am getting no debug errors:

How can I diagnose?

+1  A: 

Is this the crash log from the device? If not, the device will store a log of all the crashes and you can get it from that.

Make sure to close the simulator, and do a clean, and then a build and run. also might help to delete the app completely off the device.

A: 

You need to sign it with a development certificate/provisioning profile (this should be the default in the build settings) and entitlements with <key>get-task-allow</key><true/> (this should also be the default).

Does it run at all from the home screen?

Does not run from the home screen. I have signed it with my certificate, and have been for the past month. When I switch to my development certificate I get the error: Couldn't register com.myApp.debug with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code. This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger.Program received signal: “SIGABRT”.

Reboot the device.
