Unable to run automated tests: iOS device not detected

Problem

During an automated test run, the following error message appears in the Automation Problem dialog box or test result:

Could not detect your iOS device. Either it is currently locked or the re-signed app is inactive.

Solution

Follow the steps below and re-run the automated test after each step:

• Unlock your iOS device.
• Verify that the re-signed application is already active: that is, launched on your device. (See Launching an AUT for details.)
