You probably have a mismatch between the iPhone OS on your device and your SDK. Check that the software version of your device (Settings > General > About) matches the version of your SDK. For instance, you may have upgraded your device to iPhone OS 2.1, but you are still using iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 2.0 for development. So, updating the SDK to the latest version will resolve this issue.
