I have Fixed it with following STEPS... (Ignore steps if you have already done it)

Debug on real iOS device iONIC App

1. Install brew( with command on terminal ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”)

2. Install Xcode

3. Run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

4. Install iOS-deploy (brew install ios-deploy)

5. Build iOS with ionic cordova build ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"

6. Go to Xcode and set provisioning profile certificate

7. Attach device and run command on terminal ionic cordova run ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"

8. First it will fail as you need to Go to setting—>General -.>Device management->Click on your development certificate->Trust.

9. Done now you can run your ionic app on your real iOS device directly with just ionic cordova run ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"

Cheers!!!!!!!!!

To use ios-deploy as a command-line tool it is recommended you now install it directly via Homebrew(and if you have already installed it via npm to uninstall it).

https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy#installation

The Homebrew and npm versions will be updated at the same time going forward.
