putpkt: write failed, broken pipe

Question

I'm using AdHoc deploy to deploy my app on an iPad, and I get this error. I've checked out a few questions in SO that say the same, but the solution has always been restart XCode, Restart iPad, Restart Mac. I've done all three and this error does not go away. Any other tips I need to look at?

Thanks,
Teja.

Answer 1

This problem seems to happen whenever I quit the app on my device (pressing the home button) while the debugger is stopped at a breakpoint. Any subsequent build and run on my device results in this error.

To fix this, there's no need to delete the app, clean or rebuild. Just need to restart the device.

Answer 2

Well, I've restored my iPad to factory defaults. And it seems to work now, so yeah.

EDIT: Please look at @mud's answer below since it solves most cases without a complete restore. In my case that didn't work, so I've accepted this answer.
