Error occurred while installing the application: Invalid <device> specified

Hey there,

im just fraking out with this problem.

Sometimes I'm getting this stupid error message, when I try to debug my mobile application:

Error occurred while installing the application:

Invalid <device> specified

The app wont be installed on the device.

In fact everything was working fine before yesterday! I changed NOTHING!

I've tried:

• clean project
• restart Flash Builder
• restart Mac
• restart iPhone
• delete app from device
• /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK/bin/adt -devices -platform ios

Sometimes the message is not shown, but then the app even is not installed on device or I do not get a connection for debugging! (See Screenshot 3)

But in 99% I get this error message!

System:

Mac Pro (Late 2013)

OSX 10.10.3

Flash Builder 4.7

AIR 17

Flex 4.14.1 or Starling 1.6 (the problem exists in all projects)

Some Screenshots:

Additional Information:

This Problem do not exist with Android devices!

This Problem do not exist if I deploy/debug native apps directly with Xcode!

After switching off all debug devices the problem do not longer exists.

But this should not the solution for this bug!

The other devices were not connected via cable!

tune off auto launch itunes and photo when plug in device,

it works for me, you can try it.

for me it helps to turn off wifi on all other iOS devices in reach!

but thank you! I'll try this, too!

I get the exact same thing constantly.  The only thing that works is unplugging the device, compiling without any device connected, reconnecting after getting the device list empty, refreshing the device list, selecting the device and continuing.  And even that sometimes doesn't work the first time.  This bug has been with me for over a year now, it's ridiculous.  Clearly Adobe doesn't care at all about Flash Builder even though I pay my monthly CC subscription which includes it's support.  Very frustrating bug... Looking for any other hacks, solutions or things to try...
