Since multiple people have made github issues about this, I feel like this should be mentioned in the tutorial. I made a pull request to add a notice about this.

See https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/2383

This is a bug in Xcode or CocoaPods.

Free Apple dev accounts can’t run apps on real devices if they use some CocoaPods frameworks (such as Capacitor, but it’s affecting a lot of more frameworks).

So the only solution for now is to pay for an Apple dev account or use the simulator.

You can also try to remove use_frameworks! from ios/App/Podfile and run npx cap sync ios, but not sure if some other thing will break.
