Error MT1006 Container creation failed

Question

Im trying to debug my application on a physical iPhone 4s i bought. The iphone is completely empty, i did the startup config and no more. My VS2015 is connected to my Mac build host, where the iPhone 4s is connected too as well. As far as i know are the certificates installed and correct. The iPhone shows up in VS2015 as an device for debugging

Macbook Pro running 10.10.5 (Yosemite) and Xcode and Xamarin studio. Windows 8.1 installed on a VM on that Mac, with VS2015 and the total Xamarin package.

Full error is:

error MT1006: 
Could not install the application '/Users/*placeholder*/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/*placeholder*/*placeholder*/bin/iPhone/Debug/*placeholder*.app' on the device iPhone van *placeholder*: Container Creation Failed Error (error: 0xe8000041).

I replaced some personal details with placeholder

This error appears in building with VS2015 as well when building with Xamarin Studio on the Mac

I could not find information on how to solve this issue, so i hope people can help me.

Answer 1

To fix all deployment errors on new phones i have a very good method.

Open xcode, create a new iphone project (choose a non empty template), build and deploy it on the phone using xcode. Fix any errors if xcode asks for it.

xcode will fix your provisioning profiles and may do changes on the phone to make it available for deployment.

After a succesful deployment using this dummy ios app using xcode, try deploying your real app again with VS2015.
