Just updated an iPad Mini to iOS 8 and suddenly can't debug my app on it with XCode 6.0.1.
The error in Xcode is App installation failed
with An unknown error has occurred.
. On the device the app remains greyed out.
Tried to :
With iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices works fine, also, can debug other projects too, but not this one, so I'm getting desperate.
Any idea ?

Edit:
It seems that the regeneration of the certificates was the solution but after Clean there was necessary a Clean Build Folder too, which solved the issue (for now at least).
Install the App on User Devices For macOS, double-click the file to install and run it. To install iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, or watchOS apps using Xcode: Attach the device to the computer, or attach the paired phone for a watchOS device. Select Window > Devices and Simulators, and then select the Devices tab.
Tap Settings > General > Profiles or Profiles & Device Management. Under the "Enterprise App" heading, you see a profile for the developer. Tap the name of the developer profile under the Enterprise App heading to establish trust for this developer. Then you see a prompt to confirm your choice.
You can distribute applications using ad hoc without going through the app store, but you are limited to a maximum of 100 devices. With this method you can distribute your application from a web site, email, etc. The method is for internal distribution in companies with more than 500 employees.
Just to add (and thanks to everyone for the hints given here) that systematically finding out the cause of this was key for me resolving this.
Using the “Devices” Window in Xcode6 to then connect to the plugged in iPhone allows you to view the live log - once you have selected the iPhone click on the tiny up-arrow icon at the bottom. In my case the output was as shown below, strongly indicating that “Failed to verify code signature…” of one of my (custom) bundled frameworks was at the crux of the problem.
This lead me to check and find out it was nothing to do with out of date certificates (everything was in date) nor any left-over DerivedData or temp build files (although always good to do a clean!)
It was the fact that my custom framework’s “CFBundleExecutable” had a typo - so signing was actually throwing an error. This is not immediately reported in Xcode - even if the tick box is on for your embedded frameworks to "Code sign on copy". Try signing a framework separately on the command line and it will tell you!

I just got hit by this with Xcode 7.2. Looking at the device console log pointed to a 3rd party framework in CocoaPods. Did a "pod update" and all is good now.
