I see that this question has been asked many times but I see no solution that works for me so I'm hoping that providing more info might shed some light.
We use appcenter.ms to test iOS apps. Until our iOS certificate expired this method worked fine. We generated a new enterprise certificate and ad hoc provisioning profile for new releases of the iOS app. Which led to the first curiosity.
I see how to upload a certificate on appcenter.ms but not a provisioning profile. I thought there was an option to do this in the past but perhaps I am mistaken. However, the app is signed with a provisioning profile before upload, so perhaps this is not needed now.
Once the app is uploaded, it can't be installed. It remains grey and when you tap it, you get the "this app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified" error. Again, that the .ipa is created with an ad hoc certificate and profile in Xamarin (VS for Mac).
Also, I can't install the provisioning profile on a device from appcenter.ms. You basically get stuck in a loop where you seem to successfully install the profile but have to keep doing it because it never actually installs.
I hope this is enough info for some insight and thanks in advance for any feedback.
We were able to solve this by redoing and downloading development certs and via
And also downloading and double clicking the apple development certificate here
After that our keychain showed both as trusted and we could build to the iPhone again.
The issue can be the your device is simply not registered on the developer portal and/or that ad-hoc provisioning profiles have not been regenerated.
You need to register your device, regenerate a provisioning profile with this device in it and rebuild your app using this profile.
This can also happen because of
Developer ID Notary Service - Outage
which can be checked on https://developer.apple.com/system-status/
Notarization is well explained here:
Notarization gives users more confidence that the Developer ID-signed
software you distribute has been checked by Apple for malicious
components. Notarization is not App Review. The Apple notary service
is an automated system that scans your software for malicious content,
checks for code-signing issues, and returns the results to you
quickly. If there are no issues, the notary service generates a ticket
for you to staple to your software.
Work around fix:
Select your app.
Navigate to TextFlight tab
Create External Testing group
Add one tester
Add build which you want to download using TestFlight
Open TestFlight and download an app.
In my case this was caused by trying to include an entitlement for aps-environment "development" when using an Ad-Hoc provisioning profile. The value for this environment in Entitlements.plist must match what is hard coded into the provisioning profile file - if you open an Ad-Hoc profile in a text editor you will see it expects the "production" environment.
The possible solutions depending on your requirements are to either use the Development profile/certificate, or change the aps-environment to "production" to continue using an Ad-Hoc provisioning profile.
It can also happen if you have other incorrect entitlements - worth checking what entitlements are enabled under the Identifier in Apple Developer portal and removing unnecessary ones.
I had this issue because when building the app on xCode for distribution (Product->Archive then Distribute App), I chose automatic signing. After manually signing the app and choosing my own generated certificate and profile, everything worked again fine.
I removed the Entitlements file from the Addition Resources in iOS Bundle Signing and it worked.
I think the MSAL configuration was set to debug in entitlements.plist
I have also face this issue before but for me the reason was little different
First the build was enterprise one and the build was made on the earlier Xcode version on which the iOS version you are using on the device was not supported by the Xcode.
All I did was to update my Xcode and make a new build and shared the build. After that we were able to install that build over device Hope it works for you as well
This is how I solved for myself.
In you iPhone Settings > General > VPN & Device Management you should see your company name (if an app from it is installed), and if you click on it, you will see a button like "Verify" above the list of apps installed provided by the company. Just click on "Verify".
I have already searched and almost implemented max solution but it's not installing any app even though if I am creating just sample single view app.
App installation failed
A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.
============== update ====================
I fixed this issue today.
First, go to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles.
Make sure Xcode isn't running.
Then, delete all provisioning files (like xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.mobileprovision).
Start Xcode.
You will see something like "Fix this issue" in your Target's General tab.
Click it.
Xcode will now load new provisioning profile.
That's it.
----------- OLD Answer -------------
I have same problem now.
I've checked my provisioning profile using https://github.com/chockenberry/Provisioning/releases.
In my case, my provisioning profile had the wrong UDIDs but right machine count.
I've registered machines, and Apple Developer Center listed right UDIDs for those machines.
However, whenever I downloaded new provisioning profile, it contained wrong UDIDs.
I think Apple's system is outputting wrong provisioning profile.
I called Apple support for this issue today, but Apple only emailed me with their knowledge base links(forums,documents,etc).
Possibly you are using App Store distribution provisioning profile. Use development or Ad-Hoc provisioning profile.
For Xcode 8 / Swift 3.0
In my case, for my app target and my extension in "General" I check "Automatically manage signing" and it work
I was having this issue because the date/time on my iPhone was not the same as that on my Mac running Xcode ( i changed the date on my iPhone while testing some app).
On my iPhone, i went to Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically
This fixed it
Make sure you have added device UDID in your provisioning profile.
Go to provisioning portal.
Edit provisioning profile.
Make sure device is checked.
Done, download
Use new Profile
Another possible reason: Device date is set to later than the expiry of you provisioning profile.This is very weird but, it could happen.
In my case it was that the running option in the building scheme was set to Release so it was trying to sign it using the appstore provisional profile not the development or the adhoc one. I had to set it to Debug to fix this!
I could run on Simulator just fine, but trying to install the App on device was throwing this exact error.
I had a test target in addition to the main target. The test target had signing set to a different team and profile. Setting the unit test target to match the main target settings for signing solved my issue.
Didn't notice it had been automatically changed over to a different team, was caused by being added to a new Enterprise team.
In my case, I went to the Apple Developer website and added the phone to the Provisioning Profile.
Then I re-downloaded the Provisioning Profile and worked =)
In my case was The build system. I had to change the default build system in "File > Project / Workspace Settings" and change it to the Legacy Build system.
For me, it's because the project I was trying to build is someone else's. The bundle identifier does not match with my team's provisioning profile.
Change bundle identifier to something else help.
In my case, my certificate is overdue..
The following worked for me:
Install the app using Personal provision profile (re-install after going into your phone settings and trusting the profile)
Delete the app from ypur phone
Switch back to registered developer profile and try again
In my case iOS 14.4, rebooting the iPhone solved it.
So as the title says, I am trying to pre-release an ios8 app. The app is uploaded successfully from the archive and appears under pre-release. I press on submit for beta release and add internal test users. In testflight the app appears, but when I press install it says:
"Could not install app, testflight is currently unavailable. Try again later".
This makes no sense. I tried recreating the developer profiles, I tried it on different devices with different account... always the same. Any ideas?
I re-downloaded the distribution profile for the app and re-archived the app. Now TestFlight works. Make sure that you select a Distribution profile (not Development)
Full description with pictures ... https://stackoverflow.com/a/30801899/294884
I had the same issue with one application for internal users... This worked for me:
Go to Prerelease -> Builds
Turn Off Beta Testing
Refresh testflight at your device (Build will appear as unavailable)
Turn On Beta Testing
Refresh Testflight at your device and install
Same error. My provisioning file was inactive in iOS developer portal as my certificate was revoked by other developer. I'd to activate the provisioning file with new certificate (exported from keychain by that very developer). So, I'd to use these new provisioning and cert to archive my app.
None of the solutions worked for me. I had the problem, that I couldn't update the gems version (an earlier version was already installed) with the same error message.
Turns out, re-inviting the affected user solves the problem.
Seems Apple has broken provisioning profiles in Xcode 5.1 ??
Upgraded to Xcode 5.1
Plugged in a device that wasn't registered on Dev Center
Asked Xcode to auto-add it
Result:
Developer Provisioning Profile is now corrupt in Xcode5
The following had no effect:
Restarting Xcode
Deleting profile and re-downloading within Xcode
Check that certificate is valid
Re-building with other profiles for same account/project (i.e. Distribution profiles) that had NOT been changed (works fine)
NOTE: in iPhone Configuration Utility, the profiles shows up as valid with all the registered devices. In Xcode5.1 I get:
Code Sign error: No codesigning identities found: No codesigning
identities (i.e. certificate and private key pairs) that match the
provisioning profile specified in your build settings (“iOS Team
Provisioning Profile: com.irisconnect.betairisconnect”) were found.
Solution: it's Xcode 5.1 that is broken, with a major bug.
If you allow Xcode5 to download provisioning profiles, it now internally corrupts any Developer profiles it downloaded.
If you instead:
quit Xcode
login to web version of Dev Center
manually download the profile
install using iPhone Configuration Utility
Re-start Xcode
...everything works fine.
Note: if you ever do the download within Xcode 5.1, then no amount of restarts will help you :(.
Thanks, Apple.
i had the same problem and was tearing my hair out. thanks to the answer above, i went and looked in keychain access and saw that my previous iPhone Developer certificates were listed as expired. so, i deleted these in keychain access.
then:
1) i went to the apple developer portal (https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/certificate/certificateList.action?type=development), clicked on the development certificate, and clicked download.
2) i dragged that certificate into keychain access (it's a login cert).
3) i went back to xcode, to the build settings code signing section of the project.
4) by hand, i set the provisioning profiles to my team provisioning profile.
5) i went up into the code signing identity section and by hand selected the new code signing identity.
and voila, it worked...my project built.
btw, i went through all that because i had made the fatal error the prior answer indicated, i.e. i had let xcode download a new certificate and then let it try to fix the code signing issue, and got caught in 1 infinite loop...just kept failing...
hope this helps
I got the same problem.
Here is my solution
Download Provision from https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/profile/profileList.action?type=production
You will get the file name "mobileprovision", change it to "YourAppName.mobileprovision"
Now Click open it with xCode
Archive and Submit your application again by Organizer
Here's what worked for me on Xcode 6, iOS 8.
Visit https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/profile/profileList.action?type=production
Revoked all certificates
Closed/restarted XCode.
Attempted to Build/Run again.
This time the Auto Fix process in XCode worked.
I have an error "No identities are available for signing" when try to validate my app in Xcode 5. I tried all: Recreate certificates and provisioning profiles, all methods which have been described on this site and another resources; I'm confused, because when I try to distribute my app as Ad-hoc, it successfully create and install on test device an IPA file. But when I try validate my app or submit to AppStore, all the time I have an error. Maybe someone can help me with this issue.
All you need to do is:
go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles in the Developer Center
create a new provisioning profile in "Provisioning Profiles" / "Distribution"
download the profile and open it
restart Xcode
Please make sure you are using distribution provisioning profiles, rather than Development.
And the code sign setting in Xcode is compatible with the distribution provisioning profiles.
The validation process does not work with Ad-hoc profiles. Need to create a Distribution provisioning profile. It is not specified in the instructions for beta testing. I agonized all day until realized.
Use the Application Loader (Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader).

Restarting Xcode solved the problem for me! Restart and/or clean solves 99% of all issues...
#CainaSouza 's comment above worked for me. I didn't even have to create any new provisioning profiles.
I just had to go to Xcode > Preferences > Accounts > (Apple ID) > View Details and hit the refresh button. After a minute or two it was done and had loaded my provisioning profiles. I didn't even have to select it in my project options, it had already selected my most recently generated one.
Clean your Product Build Folder (with Alt button)
Restart Xcode
It solved my same issue
I had a similar issue. Found out that the bundle identifier did not match the app id that was on itunes connect - it was capitalized differently. Fixed the issue by making the identifiers match.
Yes the appID and bundle identifier must match. Remember it is CASE-SENSITIVE. That was the problem for me.
I updated to Maverick and Xcode 5 and had the same issue even though I had everything ok in Profiles. I created a new Distribution profile (identical to the old one), added it by refreshing profiles and the issue was solved without rebuilding.
Apple Decided to "Magically Dissapear" my distribution provisioning profile from their site after upgrading to a newer Xcode, giving me this problem too.
Solution is obvious only once I had discovered this fact!
-Create new Distribution Provisioning Profile
-Download & install it / Refresh Xcode preferences under account details
I fixed this issue by delete the old development/distribute profiles and create new one with new names.
I had a mismatch between the Bundle Identifier within Xcode and the App ID on Developer.Apple.Com (Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles). This StackOverflow post was a great help to me. For a little extra info check out this blog post. The official documentation for the touch command can be found here. I had quit Xcode before doing the below. Upon completion of the details below and reopening Xcode my issue was resolved.
Use a text editor to update the bundle identifier to match the App ID, the Info.plist file is located:
ProjectName > ProjectName > ProjectName > ProjectName-Info.plist
Your looking for the following lines:
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>MyCompany.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}</string>
Update the value to match you App ID, eg:
<string>com.MyCompany</string>
Use the terminal to issue the touch command, ensure your within the above listed directory:
touch ProjectName-Info.plist
If you are using Xcode 5.1 or above (which you would be now), this helped me: Code signing broken on Xcode 5.1 + iOS 7.1
The key is to delete the old provisioning profile on your mac and create a new one (with a different name?) from Apple web site and download it. Looks like Xcode 5.1 corrupts the existing provisioning profile and it does not help even if you re-download it again.
My solution was to go into the dev center, find the distribution provisioning profile, and it had expired. So i tapped edit on it, and renewed it, downloaded it, installed it, chose the profile in the build settings, and it worked.
HTH someone.
Of all the development issues I've faced over my 20+ years as a software developer, none have wasted so much time as the code-signing/provisioning profile rubbish in Xcode.
This week, I have wasted 8+ hours trying to build an Ad-hoc release of our iPhone app. In the past, it just worked, I could Archive, stick a download button on our in-house webpage, and users could just install our app from this page.
But, this week, I was facing the same "No identities are available" issue, described here.
EVENTUALLY, here's what solved the issue for me:
When I logged into the hopeless Apple Developers website, it showed that our company had 2 "iOS Distribution" certificates. They were valid, their expiry dates are months away, and in the Keychain Access application, the certificates were installed and valid... no problems here.
But what fixed my issue was to delete these two certificates, recreate a new one, then recreate my "In house" Provisioning Profile (as the original one was now showing as being invalid, as it used the old "iOS Distribution" certificate).
I also went into the "Keychain Access" application on my MacBook, and deleted all "iOS Distribution" keychains.
Then, I downloaded the new certificates & provisioning profiles, now, finally, Xcode would report that there was an identity which I could code-sign with.
To the Xcode development team:
Please. Get this fixed.
If a developer like myself, is up against a wall, unable to get a valid Provisioning Profile, which will result in a downloadable app, which will fail each time on "The app couldn't be downloaded at this time" message.. DON'T allow the Archive function to be used.
Instead, TELL the user what the problem is. HELP them resolve it, rather than going through the motions, and happily allowing them to create Archives which will never be useable.
And if an Ad-Hoc install is invalid, please put something in the Log to explain what's gone wrong, and make this accessible from Xcode. Currently your "The app can't be downloaded at this time" message is both useless and misleading.
One last thing (if this helps):
Our company accidentally let its Developer Enterprise Program license expire last month. We did then renew, everything was seemingly okay again, but perhaps, behind the scenes, this messed up our "iOS Distribution" certificate ? And perhaps, not. From the Apple website's point of view, everything was fine.
My issue was that I had none.myApp in my Bundle Identifier whereas in the AppID, I had com.myApp.
This drove me crazy for hours.
I ran into this issue today and it seems to be related to the face that the profile started with a number. I deleted the profile and recreated it exactly the same way (after a lot of other troubleshooting steps found on SO) EXCEPT this time I started with a word instead of a number. Coincidence? Not sure but worth trying.
Had this yesterday and could not figure it out, no matter what I did! To solve the problem, I went to both the Project and the Target in Xcode, and under code signing, chose
Code signing identity: Don't code sign
Provisioning profile: None
Build, and then Product > Archive, and now Organizer chose the correct code signing identities and profiles to allow it to get to the Validation step. Woohoo!
It happen to me after update Xcode.
I fixed doing the follow
change the sign in to "no sign"
restart Xcode
set it to the correct sign
re-archive the build
I hope it helps
Apple Documentation
"If Xcode doesn’t find signing identities, a dialog stating “No identities are available for signing” appears. Verify that you have a distribution certificate and an ad hoc provisioning profile before continuing.
If your ad hoc provisioning profile doesn’t appear in the Provisioning Profile pop-up menu when you create the iOS App Store Package, refresh the profiles in Xcode, as described in “Refreshing Provisioning Profiles in Xcode.”"
In my case, the adhoc provisioning that I wanted to set was not selectable in Code Signing in Build Settings. Though, I created and downloaded the adhoc provisioning from developer store. The answers mentioned here didn't work for me. Fix Issue button in General tab fixed the issue by downloading the required adhoc provisioning file by itself.
Creating a new certificate, Profile in Apple development center did not work for me! I tried editing a profile/certificates and download again and double click to install in KeyChain, but still did not work. I restarted XCode (Version 7 and Mac on El Capitan), restarted Mac but still did not work!
What worked for me is:
XCode -> Preferences -> Accounts - Then I deleted the Apple ID.
Shutdown my Mac, and restarted it.
Started my XCode, added the Apple ID, went to view details in Apple ID's and downloaded the Provisional Profile again and only then it started working!
Restarting solved my problem. I have a new mac and tried downloading the profiles, which should've transferred anyways. restarting solved it.
