Trouble Running App on Device - ios

I'm trying to run my app on a new device through Xcode 7 but everytime I click to run I received this error: "No matching provisioning profiles found: None of the valid provisioning profiles allowed the specified capabilities: Features: push and inApp purchase". I don't know what this means. I've never seen a message like this before when running apps on another device with Xcode 7. Does anyone how I can fix this issue so I can run my app?

If you haven't added your apple developer id to Xcode, I'd suggest doing this now. once you've done this and in the project navigator, if you highlight the project, then on the middle-most pane, go to the Capabilities Tab and make sure In App Purchase is enabled. If not, enable it. It should pop up asking which developer ID to use, or ask you to add one.
Choose the ID in question, then it'll add the entitlements to the app.
Whats going on here is that the provisioning profile which your app is using, hasn't been enabled in terms of IAP's.

Xcode 8 asks for a device to be registered to create provisioning profile

I am trying to publish an app for testing, without having to connect a device in my mac.
I have created a developer account, created an app in itunes, generated bundle id, signed into xcode with the developer account, generated a distributor certificate.
When I tried to archive the app, I got the error "conflict provisioning setting. app is automatically signed for development ..."
I read in this post and followed the tip of unchecking and rechecking the option "Automatically manage signing". After re-choosing my team, I get the error "There are no devices registered in your account on the developer website. Plug in and select a device to have Xcode register it".
The goal all along was that I wouldn't need an ios device, because I intended to immediately publish the application and invite people to test it via testflight. Is it not possible to do it like this? Am I missing something.
I have read lots of documentation, but being a first timer in this, everything seems confusing.
Edit: I created a provisioning profile as distributor. Even after creating and installing the distributor profile (it now appears also in xcode at Account -> provisioning profiles), I still get that same error. I also noticed that in signing, The signing certificate is iOS Developer. I am sure
I fixed it by plugging in my iPhone and going to the Product menu > Destination > iPhone (my device).
Then after clicking Try Again on this properties page the warnings went away.

The solution (though I would welcome more elaborate, insightful explanations):
#General -> Signing, disable the option "Automatically manage signing"
#General -> Signing and certificates choose your team
Though in my case that was not the issue, I would recommend making sure that in the device list, you choose Generic iOS device in your target devices.
This really sucked to figure out.
What you do is add a distribution profile in https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/profiles/add. Don't choose development! Don't let the Xcode Automatically manage signing!!
Then, you download the provision.
Then, in the Signing & Capabilities -> Signing Section of the project.xcodeproj file, turn off Automatcially manage signing, choose import and import the file you just downloaded.
Then, in the top, you choose Any iOS Device (arm64, armv7) and then you go Product -> Archive.
What happened to me was that I was about to run my app on a physical device for the first time and I didn't have a Team. So I created it in the process before connecting my phone with the USB cable. After I created the team a message like the listed above appeared. I did some research on internet but nothing found.
So here's what I did: I connected my phone, did all the trusted process, then restarted Xcode, and it worked. I am not sure what happened, but it was some of my first experiences using Xcode. It could sounds silly but it helped me. Hope to you too.
If you do not wish to register a device follow this advice:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/44157307/499581
* In short use "Generic" as the device while archiving.
If you do wish to register a device then the solution to:
"There are no devices registered in your account on the developer
website. Plug in and select a device to have Xcode register it".
Is to physically plug-in your device (an actual iPhone, or iPad) so that Xcode can register it for development use (note: this will not affect the normal everyday use of the device). After the device is registered it can then be used for development testing, load provisioning profiles onto it, etc.
↳ Disabling and Enabling Devices Using Your Developer Account
For those who are trying to develop without a mac computer using MacInCloud don't follow the standard advice out there. Its will lead you down a hole. I have wasted hours of my time.
The reason it say something about "a device to be registered to create provisioning profile" is that you need to provision an iOS device that you can test on before you can get it signed. If you are using MacInCloud you probably can't physically connect an iPhone or iPad to the MacInCloud and therefore it can't automatically provision devices for you.
Before you get to far into this you will need to get your iPhone/iPad UDID. Which I was able to do with https://get.udid.io/ on my iPhone, but it didn't work on my iPad. Instead, with the iPad I had to download iTunes from the Windows store and connect my iPad. Then click on the little gray square in the menu that's inline with Library tab.

Then when it pops up with your device info (mine didn't come up with my info at first, I had to sync my device). You will see your SN. Click on your SN and it will change to your UDID. Once you have your UDID you are ready to create a provisioning profile. What is confusing is this isn't done in the appstoreconnect section of your account online. Its done in your developer account: https://developer.apple.com/account
developer.apple.com account screen shot
When you go there you will want to click: Certificates, Ids & Profiles
Here you will need to add your devices and then with auto signing checked in Xcode that made the problem go away. NOTE: I originally tried to create a profile, download it, and import into Xcode under the Provisioning Profile dropdown in Signing & Capabilities. As described in another answer here, but that proved more problematic and wasn't necessary.
Then you can chose Any iOS Device from emulator device drop down then go to Product > Archive > Distribute App and create a certificate to place it on the app store (TestFlight).
you can also plug an iphone, run the app the app on your iphone as the target, it will ask you to register the device and then the certificates will be generated
Have you paid the $99/year developer fee? TestFlight is only available for paid developers. I would highly recommend plugging in an iOS device, though. It's more fun and rewarding testing that way.

Run xcode project with distribution profile on it

I have created an iOS application, and wanted to submit it to the App Store.
I saw a tutorial on how to do that, and understood that I need to create a Distribution profile and replace it with the Development profile. So I did that but before sending it to the App Store. I want to check it last with that profile on it (the distribution profile).
Can I run Xcode project when I add a distribution profile?
because when I tried running it on a real device, an error popped up: "the provisioning profile "XXXXX" was not found".
So i went to the Devices tab and tried adding the file of the provisioning profile, and it didn't allow me to.
What should I do?
You can't use distribution profile to run the app on your device directly from your device.
Now Apple provides beta testing of apps using iTunes Connect. So you can opt for that option as an alternative.
Refer Beta Testing Your iOS App for more details
Yes, you can do by applying small tweak.
Open you Xcode project
click on your target.
choose edit scheme from list.
choose Run tab from left.
select info tab from top.
select Build Configuration and choose release from drop-down list.
Now delete your existing app, from device if exist.
And run the app from Xcode.
After completion of compiling for app, it would show some error dialog and will stop execution, ignore it.
Now app is installed on your device with distribution profile.
Re-run the app.
Cheers!

No matching code signing identity found. Deploying to ios device for the first time

Cant manage to run my app on my device.
Ive registered my apple ID yesterday to the developer program, also used my device in the "Organizer" for developing.
In my main project General settings im trying to change the "Team" - It wont find my account.
When im pushing the "Fix issue" button it also reacts like i dont have a registerd developing account.
When i push the Add.. i can see that my developer apple id is already in the accounts:
As you can see my Apple ID is already signed.

Provisioning New Device for Development Xcode

I am a new iOS developer, and although I have been successful in provisioning a device for development in Xcode in the past, I just obtained a new device and am having an awful time getting Xcode to provision it and allow me to test applications on it.
When I connect the new device to Xcode, Xcode does recognize and identify the device correctly, however when I run the application I get the following error message: "A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found."
According to the Apple documentation, I am supposed to first request a development certificate in Xcode using the following steps:
Choose Window > Organizer > Devices
Select Provisioning Profiles.
Click the Refresh button at the bottom of the window.
Enter your user name and password and click Log in.
After you sign in to your account, a prompt appears, asking whether Xcode should request your development certificate.
I have followed steps 1 - 4 repeatedly and each and every time Xcode crashes before I can get to step 5. I have tried completely closing xcode, detaching device, cleaning project, restarting computer, etc. Is there another way to request a development certificate outside of Xcode?
Ok so then the docs say I should provision the device (granted I assume this step is contingent upon the success of the previous step which I cannot achieve, but I tried it anyway) using the following steps:
Connect your device to your Mac.
Open the Devices organizer
select your iOS device.
Click the “Use for Development” button. The first time you add a device ID to your account, Xcode creates the iOS Team Provisioning Profile using the iOS Wildcard App ID, your development certificate, and the device ID. The iOS Team Provisioning Profile is also installed on your iOS device. If the device was used for development in the past, the “Use for Development” button may not appear. If this happens, click “Add to Portal” at the bottom of the screen instead.
So the "use for development" button does not appear (it appeared the first time I attempted this and hasn't since), so I clicked the "add to portal button". Every single time I do this, Xcode crashes.
I currently have the code signing identity set to iPhone Developer (my name). I have also tried setting it just to iPhone Developer and even Do Not Code Sign. I also went to the iOS dev center and added the device there (not sure if I needed to do that or not).
In any case, can anyone suggest anything I might be missing or any other approach?
While I was sleeping, Apple completely abolished the Portal and created a new and apparently largely broken interface. It's like a kind of evil April Fools joke. Anyway, if you go to https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/deviceList.action there's a great big sign telling you that you must "reset your device list before adding any new devices". That sounds like it covers exactly your case. Good luck.
I also went to the iOS dev center and added the device there (not sure if I needed to do that or not).
You need to add the device there.
Steps You need to follow after adding device:
Next re-download the mobile provisioning profile again.
Go to organizer and delete the old mobile provisioning profile you had.
Double click the new mobile provisioning profile you just downloaded and see that it appears on the organizer.
Connect your device and you should see your device's name instead of iOS device.
hope this helps.
If you are looking to bypass the 'Register a Device' portion of the Provisional Profile registration simply upload the 'sample .txt file' they provide you and upload it. You will then be allowed to click 'Next' to finish the registration so this way you do not have to enter a device UID.

Difficulty provisioning iPad application for testing on iPad

I have a provisioning profile, registered my device, added the certificate, and created an app id for my application. I set the provisioning profile in the Code Signing section on XCode and the App ID is set. I had a problem where it said iPad-only applications should not use armv6 and the build failed so I followed some advice I read and set it to build active architecture only and now I don't receive any warnings, but the build still fails. The iPad is plugged in and I selected it from the drop down for running. Also I am using XCode 4 and I was trying to follow this tutorial http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/iphone/iphone-sdk-install-apps-on-iphone-devices-for-development/.
My professor created the provisioning profile and the app id, but I checked and everything looks fine except for one thing. When I look at the app ids on the developer page under "Apple Push Notification service" it says unavailable for the app I'm using, while some other app ids say "Configurable for Development". I'm not sure if that has to do with the problem but I thought it might be related.
I also tried doing a clean build because I saw that suggested somewhere, but it still failed so something must be wrong with how I set it up.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
edit: just thought of something else, under the organizer page if I click on applications my app isn't there and if I try to add it I get an error message saying "No Code Signature Found"
Also, if I look at the provisioning profiles the app id section is blank. Do I need to link the provisioning profile up to the app id some how?
