Xcode process launch failed: invalid host string: '(null)'

Question

I am trying to learn Objective C. However, when I write some code and run it, xcode says build sucsessful but the code does not run. Eventually it comes up saying:

process launch failed: invalid host string: '(null)'

Please help.

I have also already reinstalled it.

I've encountered this couple times and what I did to overcome this are such as:

Reconnect the cable between Macbook and target device
Uninstall the app and re-install it

Note that it happened on my old iPhone especially. You should try tinkering around something like above first to make sure that you don't overlook what might be simple solution.
