My software works on the simulator.
My software wlll not install on device.
It seems like there is an issue with the info.plist not being parsed correctly. But, everything seems correct to me. It points to line 30... but that doesn't change if the .plist is binary or XML, or if the content changes.
Xcode Version 7.0 (7A218)
OS X Version 10.11.1 Beta (15B30a)
Any ideas? Details below.
Xcode message:
"App install failed.
Could not install the application package."
Here's a picture of that message from someone else:

The important part seems to be "Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path /../the.app, SourceFileLine=30."

So, my project has multiple targets. A few were added recently. Each probject has its own info.plist file. One of them was being copied into the bundle, causing the issue.
Also, if you have install issues, read the technical note linked below. It give you guidelines on debugging it, eventhogh it doesn't address this issue.
