The setup below includes how to remove the Tests folder, which can cause problems with running the app on the device.

One-time setup

open and app in Xcode: open ios/Spark.xcodeproj
connect your device (iphone) via usb

Tests folder

If you see a tests folder ([your-app-name]Tests), do the following:

delete the folder : AppnameTests, our case: SparkTests - within main app folder in Xcode

also delete the same folder from the section where you click on that blue rectangular icon:

finally, click on the root of your project in the left-hand navigation panel (with the blue document icon. You'll see something appear in the far-right panel under Identity and Type. Click on the arrow under Full Path to open Finder. Delete the tests folder there as well.

We already have deleted the AppnameTests folder but it was located there as the image above.

Make sure the blue rectangle icon is active. Under TARGETS, click on the app
In General section under Signing add your apple account and create team (just add the default one)

Emulating your app onto your device

Open Xcode
Click on the breadcrumb at the top-left of the window
Select your device
Click Run button

The project should open up automatically on your device. If it doesn't, try disconnecting and reconnecting your device to your Mac, and click Run again.
