@hmthur: You would find your solution in either of these links.

These are the links you can refer to as they too discuss the same problem as you have.

As far as I know, it is something to do with setting your active executable as Simulator and not device if you don't have developer license.

Also in some cases it is the problem with the code signing identity as discussed in one the links above.

Hope this helps you.
