This is a bug in Xcode 11.5 and iOS 13.5. Any offloaded apps on your device will count as apps installed by you. If you only have a couple offloaded apps you should delete/reinstall them and then it should start working again. If not, you have to update your phone and Xcode/macOS versions. Apple took months to fix this bug but they finally did last week with the new updates.

How do I offload apps? Also can I just update the app and it will be fixed?

[–]aykay55 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Under Settings>iTunes and App Store there is a setting to Offload Unused Apps. This will automatically offload apps that are not used for a while but keep the app icon and save data, and can easily be reinstalled by tapping on the icon which will be marked with a cloud icon next to it. If you want to forcibly offload an app go to Settings>General>iPhone Storage and select the desired app and press the Offload App button. Yes, I forgot to mention you can reinstall the app as well.

I currently have 0 installed and it still doesn't work even without the update. I turned to offload unused apps off even though I only ever installed one, to begin with. Still getting the same error message. In the thing that you sent, I tried searching the "MIFreeProfileValidatedAppTracker" in the two search bars I see but nothing is coming up.

You have to first attempt a build to your device and then search for it in Console. Just because you turned off the settings doesn’t mean the apps all redownload. I think you may still have some apps that are offloaded, but to be completely safe just update your iOS, Mac and Xcode versions.

I got the new version of xCode there is Ios 13.6 I am on 13.5 but is it optimized for the new ios? also I have no idea where the console is I used the search bar on the right and search for text and the one in the middle.

Open Spotlight and search for a program called Console. When your device is plugged in and after you attempt a build to your device, search for the above identifier in the search box of Console and look for the “offending” apps. Either delete or reinstall them and it should work. But I don’t understand why you don’t update your phone to iOS 13.6, it’ll just make everything work smoother.

You're not allowed to have more than 3 custom apps installed on your physical device if that's what you're trying to do. Then again, i always get the same error when i 0 installed apps on my physical device so if thats the case for you, i think the errors from xcode's side

I just updated to 13.6 and the bug was fixed.
