How can I install application on the new iOS 8 using xCode 5?

Question

How can I install application on the new iOS 8 using xCode 5? I've used iTunes for that before. But now it doesn't work. Application's icon is gray on the iTunes.

Answer 1

The following steps helped me:

1. Add and install Ad-Hoc mobile profile.
2. Create Ad-Hoc .ipa file with Organizer.
3. Add it to the iTunes and sync the device.
4. Remove non-existent application from the device on iTunes and from iTunes (most important step for me) and sync the device.
5. Add it again to the iTunes and sync device.

Now you can test your new version of the application on iOS 8!

Answer 2

more simple:

I got an analogous problem in iOS8 beta era using xCode 5.1

xCode refuses to recognize my iPhone 5, (yellow pin..). You can fool xCode using a symbolic link (xCode will assume it can handle ios8.. too)

sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/7.1\ (11D167) /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/8.0\ (12A4265u)
