iOS App crashes after installing from Xcode

 Issue: When you generate your iOS app from Xcode and install it on your iPhone, the app launches once. But after closing it, when you try to open it again from the icon, it crashes on launch. Why does this happen?

Solutions:
This issue is common in iOS apps installed directly from Xcode in Debug Mode. In this mode, the app depends on Xcode’s debugger. Once the debugger is detached, the app may not relaunch and can crash.

👉 Try this (Recommended Solution):

  • Generate a Release Build.
  • Install and test the app using TestFlight.
  • Release/TestFlight builds are fully optimized and properly signed for iOS devices, so the crash issue will not occur.

— OR —

👉 You can also try these additional steps:

  • Check crash logs in Xcode Organizer or Console to confirm the reason.
  • Clean the build folder in Xcode, uninstall the app from your device, and reinstall it.
  • Verify that your device’s iOS version is compatible with the build.
  • Ensure that the correct certificates and provisioning profiles are being used.

Note: This is not a product-related issue. It is a common behavior of iOS debug builds. Once tested in Release/TestFlight mode, the app will run smoothly.
