iPhone Debugging: Get a black screen when debugging a universal app

Question

I am working on my universal app (4.0.1 sdk) and I am unable to get it to run on an iPod touch. It works on iPad, and on both the iPad Simulator and the iPod simulator When I try to launch the app on the touch, my main gets called and I can stop at a break point (I assume this means the provisioning and certs are right) but nothing after that. There isn't anything in the GDB log. I can debug a simple "Hello world" type app on the touch. Anyone have any suggestions of what else to try?

1. If you are not using .nib files you might want to make sure the code which creates your window gets executed: window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

2. If you are using .nib (.xib) files make sure you have the window appropriately delegated to the app delegate in interface builder.

In my case I was subclassing an app delegate and I accidently removed the line calling [super didFinishLaunchingWithOptions...] where my window was being created.

I hope this helps someone.
