Error : The service is invalid

Question

I am having some problem in installing my app on the iphone as I am constantly getting the following error message

The service is invalid

Please check your setup and try again

(0XE8000022)

It was running perfectly well till yesterday but since yesterday I am having this problem.

Answer 1

SnowLeopard w/ XCode 4.2's Instruments will give this message on newer iOSes.

Answer 2

It can be a couple of things, the first and inmediate thing I'd check is to see if your IPhone is currently Downloading or "Preparing Update..." whilst this is running you generally get the "Device is invalid (0xe8000084)" / Error MT1006.

This i found to be the most common thing. so try this first.

And if that fails: Restart your IPhone, and then if that fails restart your Mac/Xcode and do a clean then Rebuild and deploy..

Hope this helps

Answer 3

If nothing works then check if your device os is compatible with your Xcode version.

Answer 4

This error happens when you try to debug an application in your IPod/IPhone and the device is code-locked or executing another application.

Make sure you can see the menu with all the app icons on the device and try to run again.

Answer 5

I have solved the problem... Only needed to restart the iphone...

Restarting the Xcode wont work in this case. So just restart your iPhone and everything will be fine.

EDIT:

If you have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0 and have installed the "iOS Updater" app, you will also have this message.

Finishing the update process to iOS 6.0.1 will resolve the problem.

Answer 6

This error also happens if the iPhone provisioning profile has expired.
