I am supporting for one existing native iOS application. For this am able to generate IPA successfully from Xcode but while generating build from devops am facing the issue:
Requires a provisioning profile with the Push Notifications feature
How can I get past this error and build for my device?
A Provisioning Profile must be installed on each device your application code should run on. Each Development Provisioning Profile will contain a set of iPhone Development Certificates, Unique Device Identifiers and an App ID.
Devices specified in the Development Provisioning Profile can be used for testing only by those individuals whose Development Certificates are included in the profile. To create :
Login to the developer account connected to your project, and under Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles -> Profiles -> Register a New Provisioning Profile by clicking the add new button.
Choose for which purpose provisional profile is required.
a. For developement purpose. (the app can be downloaded only in registered devices if the application is in development stage. For this, The device UDID is required to be added in device list).
b. For distribution purpose ( The provisonal file required for uploading app in the app store)
After Selecting above, click continue.
Choose your Appid (i.e. Bundle id) from the list and click continue.
After registering, download the provisional profile (File with extension name.mobileprovision will get downloaded) and double click the file to the Xcode project to include the provisional certificate to be added.
you need to follow below steps
go to developer account
make provisioning profile for bundle identifier that you are using
Adhoc(test) or Distribution(production)
enable push notification
download the certificate
click on the certificate

I subscribed to the App Developer program. I paid the fee. I've done Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. I added the app to App Store Connect.
xcode signing
I am getting the errors above. I don't have an iPhone phone. I'm developing on my macbook computer.
xcode device
How can I resolve this error?
As I can see in image that "Automatically Manage Signing" is enabled for this Xcode project. So Xcode is trying to create the provisioning profile for you but not able to create it.
B'coz you need to add account in Xcode from Xcode -> Preferences -> Account -> Click on + icon at bottom to add a new developer account.
You need to create provisioning profiles.
Once you have created provisioning profile, download it and install on your machine.
Please make sure the certificate used in cretation of the provisioning profile must be in your machine's keychain.
If those certificates not installed in your keychiain then you will see certificate issue in Xcode.
But I would recommend to create provisioning profile manually from apple developer portal as you can see and mainly you can know that which certificate and devices are used in the profile.
You can create following provisioning profiles for your app.
Development Profile
You will be able to run/debug app on real device.
The device must be added into the profile.
This can be used for only development purpose.
Adhoc Profile
You will be able to install app on real device but not able to debug it.
The device must be added in profile to install app on it.
It acts as a release build but not a actually release build.
Generally develop send the adhoc build to client for testing of app.
App Store Profile
You will not able to run app on device using this profile.
It will be used to upload app on App Store or create the release build for distribution on App Store.
I need to replace a deployed iOS native app with a new Ionic3 / Cordova hybrid app. The new hybrid app builds successfully (on macOS Sierra 10.12.6) but I can't sign the app (so that it can be uploaded to the app store).
As a first step, I'm focused on getting the new app on the app store (as alpha to test with TestFlight). I've removed all "development" certificates/profiles from developer.apple.com.
There's a lot of information/questions/answers on the web about signing apps. I've spent a couple of days on this issue and cannot get it to work no matter what I read or what I try.
The current iOS app code (deployed)
In Info.plist, $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)
In /bbh.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER = "NSP.BBH-Mobile";
Re-create development provision
Open Keychain. Delete all developer/iPhone certificates. Delete all keys.
On developer.apple.com, delete development certificate and development provisioning profiles.
Confirm my iPhone device is registered with the correct UDID.
In Keychain, generate a certificate signing request file.
In developer.apple.com, create a development certificate, upload the certificate signing request generated in the previous step, download the certificate .cer file.
Double click on the .cer file. Keychain opens. Choose to add to "log in".
In Keychain > certificates, choose export, specify the strong password. Certificates.p12 file will be generated.
In developer.apple.com, create a development provisioning profile. Choose "iOS App Development". Choose an App ID ... but which one?
App IDs in developer.apple.com
BBH Mobile = com.bbh.*
BBH Mobile = NSP.BBH-Mobile
Xcode iOS Wildcard App ID = *
Notice on-screen reads:
"If you plan to use services such as Game Center, In-App Purchase, and Push Notifications, or want a Bundle ID unique to a single app, use an explicit App ID.
If you want to create one provisioning profile for multiple apps or don't need a specific Bundle ID, select a wildcard App ID. Wildcard App IDs use an asterisk (*) as the last digit in the Bundle ID field.
Please note that iOS App IDs and Mac App IDs cannot be used interchangeably."
We need push notifications so choose an explicit App ID = AYW4J8P7X3.NSP.BBH-Mobile
app id = team id (generated by apple) + bundle id (supplied by the user)
It makes sense to choose this App ID which includes the bundle id of the iOS currently deployed.
https://www.screencast.com/t/C0QdPdxwh09t
Choose a development certificate (just created), choose all devices.
Download the development profile and double click to install (in Xcode).
Double-clicking doesn't seem to do anything? How do I know it's installed in Xcode correctly?
Do I need the .mobileprovision file on my iPhone? The mac server is in the cloud so I don't have my iPhone connected via USB to the mac.
Open Xcode. Confirm my apple account added in Xcode > Preferences > Accounts. In the project, targets, signing, click "Automatically manage to sign".
Choose my personal team. The following errors are displayed:
Error 1: The app ID "NSP.BBH-Mobile" cannot be registered to your development team. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again.
Why does it prompt to change bundle id? Isn't it standard to have one app id and to generate both a debug/development and release?
Error 2: No profiles for 'NSP.BBH-Mobile' were found Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'NSP.BBH-Mobile'.
But we just created a new development provision and selected App ID = NSP.BBH-Mobile. Why doesn't Xcode recognize this?
you may try unselect Automatically manage signing and import provisioning profile manually.
These are the steps I took to finally resolve this issue. It may not be optimal but it at least worked.
1. In Xcode, turn off automatically manage signing.
2. For signing (debug), select my development provision profile.
3. For signing (release), create a production provision profile, then select the new production profile.
Notes/Observations:
Even though I only wanted to create a signed debug for testing it seems I still had to provide valid signed release provision too.
Even after deleting all keys/certificates etc. and starting from scratch it seems Xcode has created a certificate too. Annoying - it's difficult to tell who created what now.
There was no need to change the bundle ID from the original iOS native app being replaced.
Creating a new production provision did not affect the existing production provision (which I could not use because I don't have the key).
I was recently developing an iPhone application using Xcode. Now I want to install this app on my iPhone in order to test it.How can I do this? could you tell me please a step by step answer because I am new to this.
I have already created an account on the
iPhone Dev Center
now what is the next step?
As per Apple guidelines:
To test your app on a variety of devices and iOS versions, create a special distribution provisioning profile, called an ad hoc provisioning profile, and send it, along with the app, to testers. An ad hoc provisioning profile doesn’t require that testers be enrolled in an Apple Developer Program, be added to your team, create signing certificates, or use Xcode to run your app. Instead, app testers simply install the app and the ad hoc provisioning profile on their device to launch the app. You can then collect and analyse crash reports or logs from these testers to resolve problems before you ship your app.
Can I do what is mentioned here? and if yes how ?
go to memeber login area and login with your credential..
go to certificate , Identifiers & Profile tab
go to keychain access and create a .csr file and save it, it'll
required for creating certificates
create a certificate from certificate tab
create App Ids from identifier tab
Register your device UDID from Devices tab
Create distribution profile from Provisioning Profile tab and download & save it.
Install the Provisioning profile to your device and build your project using that profile.
Archive your project and create .ipa file
Final step: Install that .ipa file to your device.
Hope it'll help you. Happy Coding.....
With the free account you can not test/run apps on a device.
I'm trying to use the new Automatic Configuration in Xcode 5 and it seems that when I run builds on my iPhone it is downloading the wildcard provisioning profile and using that to run the app. This is no good because my app uses push notifications and the wildcard will not have the correct entitlements to register for push notifications.
Is there a way to specify to use the provisioning profile for the qualified app id so I can test push notifications?
Strategies I have considered:
Delete wildcard app id - You cannot do this
Delete wildcard provisioning profile - Xcode will recreate the wildcard provisioning profile
Specify the provisioning profile explicitly in the target's build settings
I don't know how to determine the explicit name with Xcode 5. I could download and open the profile in a text editor, but that can't possibly be the right way to do this
If I specify the provisioning profile, I will need to update it every time a new profile is generated (add a new device, profile expires, signing certificate expires). This defeats the purpose of automatic configuration.
I've poked around Xcode looking for such a setting and haven't seen anything useful
I have followed the steps here (for configuring Push Notifications) and when I refresh my provisioning profiles they are not updated.
Any ideas?
Xcode was not downloading the provisioning profiles because it did not find any app id MATCHES. It did not find any matches because the capabilities in the "Certificates, Identifiers, Devices" website did not match the capabilities listed in the project in Xcode. Because the app identifier has In-App Purchase and Game Center enabled on the website but once I enabled it in the project it automatically downloaded the relevant provisioning profiles.
Hope this helps someone else.
I have an app that uses push notifications and I am trying to distribute it to testers for testing.
If I create an ad-hoc distribution which gets installed via iTunes then everything works except for the push notifications, which never arrive.
But if the app is installed using XCode then the push notifications do arrive.
When I build for installation using XCode I set the code signing identity within XCode to my development profile. When I build for ad-hoc distribution I set the code signing identity within XCode to be the ad-hoc distribution profile when building the archive, then sign the archive for distribution again with the ad-hoc profile (I found this was the only combination that would allow installation via iTunes without an error message).
All the devices have been added to the ad-hoc distribution profile and to the apple push profile (and also to the team provisioning profile), the profiles have been renewed and refreshed within XCode.
Even with my own iPhone I can get push notifications to work if I install with XCode but not with iTunes.
Am I signing the ad-hoc distribution with the incorrect profiles, if so what is the correct combination of profiles?
Is there another reason why the push notifications don't work for the ad-hoc distribution but do when the app is installed via XCode?
These are the profiles used:
1) Apple push profile which has an App id of abcdef.com.company.mno
2) Project Development profile which has an App id of abcdef.com.company.mno
3) iOS Team provisioning profile which has an app id of abcdef.*
4) AdHoc Distribution profile which has an app id of abcdef.com.company.mno
5) My developer profile which has an app id of abcdef.com.company.mno
** since first posting this I tried creating a new iOS Team provisioning profile using the abcdef.com.company.mno app id but it made no difference **
The abcdef.com.company.mno App Id is showing Push Notifications for Development as being enabled (which is correct, we are not yet using Production pushes). Also its Development Push SSL Certificate is showing as enabled.
The code signing identities are: first pic what I use for installing/running using XCode, 2nd picture when building an archive for ad hoc distribution.
The description for the iPhone Distribution profile in XCode says: "Ad Hoc distribution profile (for bundle identifiers com.company.mno)".
This morning I had a similar issue trying to compile an In House app (I think it's the same issue). I had the iPhone plugged to the computer and I saw in console one warning like: entitlement 'aps-environment' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile
I tried this solution, but I had no success:
'aps-environment' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile
So, my app was working correctly in release mode running from Xcode, but when I tried to export with Ad Hoc certificate my iPhone shown that message on console.
Finally I went to profiles in iPhone and deleted all. I went to profiles in Organizer and deleted all too. I edited the provisioning profile via Provisioning portal and downloaded them again.
I changed code signing to Don't code sign. Changed again to In House provisioning profile, exported to a file and everything worked fine!
You're probably signing the adhoc version with a wildcard app id provisioning profile. Make sure the Code Signing Identity in the build settings is explicitly using your explicit-app-id provisioning profile.
