Xcode 7 how do you refresh provisioning profiles? - ios

In Xcode 6 you would click on Xcode -> Preferences -> Account -> View Details -> then there would be a little circular arrow. That is gone and there is now a "Download All" button that when pressed does not reload your provisioning profiles.
I've even tried deleting my account and re-adding it. Still no good.

Xcode 7 should automatically refresh your profiles locally when a change occurs to a profile in the Developer Portal. However, you can force this to occur by deleting and re-downloading the profiles.
Begin by opening Xcode's preferences window (Command+,). Select the Accounts tab, and click the "View Details…" button. In the bottom list that appears, Shift+click or click+drag to select the profiles you'd like to refresh. Then, right-click one of the selected profiles, and choose "Move to Trash" from the contextual menu.
Once that's done, the "Download All" button should pull down fresh copies of everything in the Apple Developer portal.
Profiles not deleting? Per feedback in the in the comments below, if you delete a very large number of profiles, Xcode may appear to do nothing, despite having actually removed all of the selected profiles. If you believe that this is the case, it may help to restart Xcode.
Be sure to take care when selecting profiles to delete… if they're not in the portal (e.g., they were supplied by another developer), Xcode can't automatically get them back for you. If you accidentally delete such a profile, you can find it in the Trash.

You can delete directly your Provisioning Profiles by running:
rm /Users/[userName]/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/*
Then re-download your profiles, Xcode -> Preferences -> Account -> View details... -> Download All
Your list in Target -> Build settings -> Code signing -> Provisioning Profiles will be updated.

I had this issue with a workspace containing multiple projects in XCode 7. My developer certificate had expired so I needed to get a new one and reassign it to my provisioning profile. This ended up being a major problem because the expired provisioning profile kept rearing its ugly head and would not get updated automatically. It was in fact listed in XCode->Preferences->Account->View Details twice (where, I might add, there was no refresh button and no contextual menu). Nothing I did made it go away and XCode kept asking for the wrong provisioning profile.
I finally solved it by deleting all of the profiles in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles, opening the workspace in XCode 6 and using the refresh button that DOES exist in XCode->Preferences->Account->View Details.

XCode8: There is one provisioning profile that still always shows "Download". No matter what - it's the share extension app group provisioning profile for distribution.
I've tried:
Deleting all provisioning profiles in the Accounts tab "Move to Trash", then manually re-importing by downloading and dragging them to xcode - one still shows "Download"
Deleting the apple id associated with the account, then re-adding my apple id. Then manually re-importing by downloading the provisioning profiles and dragging them into xcode - one still shows "Download"
Downloading the provisioning profiles in the Preferences->Accounts is still really buggy and never works for me. It doesn't matter if I'm behind a proxy or not.
Deleting all provisioning profiles by removing the folder in /Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning profiles, then re-importing them by downloading the provisioning profiles and dragging them into xcode - one still shows "Download"
Apple, please fix this. Thanks. :)
I'm wondering if there is a guid mismatch in the project file or something, or if reinstalling xcode will help at all. This worked in xcode7, but now I'm using xcode 8.
UPDATE: The provisioning profiles were invalid but they weren't showing as invalid in the Apple Developer Site. When I toggled "automatically manage signing" to true, then back to false again, they showed up as invalid, then fixing them + re-importing them fixed the problem. What a disaster.

Make sure you've actually changed your provisioning profile. I ran into this same issue when I was trying to add a device to a provisioning profile. I added the device to my developer account, but had forgot to take the next step and add the device to my provisioning profile.
If your provisioning profile has changed, XCode (7.0) should automatically grab the updated provisioning profile once you visit Xcode -> Preferences -> Account -> View Details. There will be a download button you can click next to each updated provisioning profile.

As mentioned in one of the answers in Refresh devices in team provisioning profile managed by Xcode 7? , you can just delete and re-add the Apple ID in the Preferences->Accounts panel, which should regenerate the xcode-managed team provisioning profiles in the Developer Center. (Other answers suggest to right-click provisioning profiles, which doesn't work for me, or apply to older versions of XCode for which the answers no longer apply.)

Add your new device to provisioning profile.
Sometimes XCode 7+ does not automatically refresh provisioning profile. I removed apple id from Xcode -> Preferences -> Account and then added again. There was download button instead of newly updated profile. Click download. Close XCode and open again. It should work perfectly.

No matching provisioning profile found error [duplicate]

Before upgrading Xcode to 7.2, I was using Xcode 7.1.1 to build and distribute apps. I have upgraded to Xcode 7.2 and none of my provisioning profiles (matched to that particular app's bundle ID) match my installed certificates that were working in Xcode 7.1.1.
I only get:
Your build settings specify a provisioning profile with the UUID “some_number”, however, no such provisioning profile was found.
I have tried regenerating a .certSigningRequest to generate a new Certificate and Profile and made sure the Team in the General tab of the target is correct. Whenever I select a Provision Profile, all of my Code Signing Identities appear in the Identities in Keychain, but none of them will pair correctly.
It seems setting the Provision Profile to Automatic and the Code Signing Identity to iOS Developer will resolve this error, but the advantage of managing my Provisioning Profiles is gone as I believe Xcode then manages these.
Any thoughts on why setting my Provisioning Profiles and Code Signing Identities to anything but Automatic and iOS Developer produces this error?
I also had some problems after updating Xcode.
I fixed it by opening Xcode Preferences (⌘+,), going to Accounts → View Details. Then select all provisioning profiles and delete them with backspace (note: they can't be removed in Xcode 7.2). Restart Xcode, else the list doesn't seem to update properly.
Now click the Download all button, and you should have all provisioning profiles that you defined in the Member center back in Xcode. Don't worry about the Xcode-generated ones (Prefixed with XC:), Xcode will regenerate them if necessary. Restart Xcode again.
Now go to the Code Signing section in your Build Settings and select the correct profile and cert.
Why this happens at all? No idea... I gave up on understanding Apple's policies regarding app signing.
Try restarting XCode first, before trying these other answers. I was about to follow the advice given in other answers, then noticed multiple people saying that restarting XCode was necessary after all the steps. All I did was restart XCode and it fixed the problem. Who knows if it'll fix the problem for you, but it's worth a shot before trying the other solutions. I'm on XCode 7.2.1.
Keep quitting Xcode until the damn thing works.
I've also the same problem, in Xcode 7.2
It solved by followings steps:-
1) Open Xcode preference,
2) Select the appropriate team,
3) Click the "View Details..".
4) In section "Signing Identities": click on "Reset" for each of them.
5) In section "Provisioning Profiles". Click on "Download All".
6) Click on "Done."
7) Go in Xcode, build settings, select it. In General tab, the issues should get removed.
8) Restart the Xcode.
9) Do the Final build.
That's all.
Download https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer and add it to Keychain access > certificates (which expires on 2023)
Also after I did all of suggested steps (btw, for some reasons backspace not remove provision profile) error keeping occurring. Until I finally figured out to Restart Xcode.
Probably, it should be first step when you're dealing with Xcode :)
Using Xcode 7.3, I spent way too much time trying to figure this out -- none of the answers here or elsewhere did the trick -- and ultimately stumbled into a ridiculously easy solution.
In the Xcode preferences team settings, delete all provisioning profiles as mentioned in several other answers. I do this with right click, "Show in Finder," Command+A, delete -- it seems these details have changed over different Xcode versions.
Do not re-download any profiles. Instead, exit your preferences and rebuild your project (I built it for my connected iPhone). A little while into the build sequence there will be an alert informing you no provisioning profiles were found, and it will ask if you want this to be fixed automatically. Choose to fix it automatically.
After Xcode does some stuff, you will magically have a new provisioning profile providing what your app needs. I have since uploaded my app for TestFlight and it works great.
Hope this helps someone.
Check your Keychain - look in Login and System keychains for expired certificates or error messages.
I found certs with "this certificate has an invalid user" error messages, and an expired Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate.
Delete them and install the new AWDRC certificate from https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer
Then follow the accepted answer to get Xcode to use the new certificates.
For me I tried following 2 steps which sadly did not work :
deleting all provisional profile from Xcode Preferences Accounts → View Details , downloading freshly all provisional profiles.
Restarting Xcode everytime.
Instead, I tried to solve keychain certificate related another issue given here
This certificate has an invalid issuer Apple Push Services
This certificate has an invalid issuer
In keychain access, go to View -> Show Expired Certificates.
Look for expired certificates in Login and System keychains and an "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority".
Delete all expired certificates.
After deleting expired certificates, visit the following URL and download the new AppleWWDRCA certificate, https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer
Double click on the newly downloaded certificate, and install it in your keychain. Can see certificate valid message.
Now go to xcode app. target → Build Setting → Provisioning Profile . Select value from 'automatic' to appropriate Provisioning profile . Bingo!!! profile mismatch issue is solved.
In my case, the problem was that the Archive was being built with a different TEAM-ID than the one who generated the Provisioning Profile (Me). Therefore I Got the error:
"No matching provisioning profile found: Your build settings specify a provisioning profile with the UUID, however, no such provisioning profile was found."
To Solve this:
Clean and Re-Download your Provisioning profiles from Settings
Re-Start Xcode
in the GENERAL Tab of the Project properties, got to TEAM:
Change the current team to the Same team but the one under the ACCOUNT you generated the provisioning profile with.
Clean & Build
Viola!
Hope this helps someone.
I updated to Xcode v7.3.1 and it solved the issue.
With Xcode 7.2.1, if you are certain that your provisioning profile is correct (it has the correct App ID and certificate, and the corresponding certificate exists in your Keychain Access) then set the Code Signing Identity and set the Provisioning Profile to Automatic.
What I did was: created a new provisioning profile and used it. When setup the provisioning profile in the build setting tab, there were the wrong provisioning profile numbers (like "983ff..." as the error message mentioned, that's it!). Corrected to the new provisioning profile, then Xcode 7.2 refreshed itself, and build successfully.
Solutions described here work, but I want to add that you need to have correct target selected on the top left corner of Build Settings in Xcode. Lost some time figuring this out...
You can easily fix the problem by changing bundle identifier on the Apple web page from com.my.app to com.my.app.iOS. I found this solution at https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/15712.
In Xcode 7.3 I got the same error, my certificate and provisional profile both were fine still I was getting the same error, I was unable to delete the provisional profile in Xcode preferences, so I tried by right-clicking on the provisional profile which shows the option to move to trash, but when I clicked nothing happened then I closed the preference window and open it again by Command, the provisional profile was gone and download option was visible, I clicked download and it starting working fine
When distribute to App Store, you choose Product -> Achieve and encounter "code sign error, no matching provisioning profiles found", if account and downloaded .mobileprovision file is ok. Try click the "Build and Run" button to run it on your phone.
And, a dialog box will popup with a button "Fix", just click "Fix" to do next... Last, your device will have an valid provisioning file. Just do "Product -> Achieve" again, everything is OK!
You can also simply go to xcode preferences then accounts and then it may ask you to simply re sign in with your developer profile and then the issues should go away.
Hope this Helps!
For me changing the build configuration from release to Debug solved the issue.
You can find Build Configuration in Edit Scheme -> Run -> Info -> Build Configuration
Clean your project and re run.
In addition to what other users posted, make sure the Team selected on the Target settings (General tab) is the correct one. Xcode will complain it cannot find the Provisioning Profile if the profile belongs to a different team than the one selected.
For me nothing above worked with XCode 7.3.1 because I had nothing in provisioning profiles (expired). I had to connect my iPhone to Mac and then click on Fix provisioning profile which created another profile expires in a week.
For everyone who didn't solve it yet, my Issue was answered by this:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/41202884/3953197
After I have a few hours searching and trying I have two solutions
1- run the app using IOS real device.
2- turn off the automatically manage signing, go to https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/profiles/, and create a profile now on the Provisioning Profile import it and done.
For me none of the solution worked, but If i disconnect the phone from laptop and then run the build, it succeeds and then I connect and run on the phone. I still couldn't figure out the final fix.

How remove a old provisioning profile in xcode 5?

I've install different provisioning profile in my xcode 5, before for remove it you had a session with all provisioning profile installed on the mac, but now this session disappear, how can I have access to this session now?
The best way to do this in XCode 5 is using an iPhone Configuration Utility. It lets you manually delete duplicates of provisioning profiles with ease and speed.
I keep Xcode closed when I do this just in case.
Edit:
For anyone wondering how to actually 'delete'. There are only two ways: a. menu -> b. Hit the / keyboard button.
You can delete the files directly from ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
Open finder, ⌘-Shift-G, and paste in the above path. Restart Xcode afterward.
Check out this related question for other suggestions.
Mirko's answer is correct- however, below I am trying to explain "why-it-is-so" on XCode5.
On XCode5, you are not supposed to/allowed to directly delete a provisioning profile- I think Apple has changed the paradigm a little bit and wanted to streamline the process, while making the provisioning and signing of binaries more secure. The idea on XCode5, is to allow you to login using your dev apple ID and then X-Code will be in sync with all your provisioning profiles. If you want to delete a profile (probably expired or redundant), you go to your dev profile and delete it- since the X-Code has all the details about your apple ID and provisioning profiles (as seen in the screenshot)- it will sync itself with your latest list of profiles- you do not have to worry about deleting those from X-Code anymore (and hence you can not delete these from X-Code anymore).
To delete a duplicate of an edited provisioning profile, you can also go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts, select your account, and hit the refresh button on the bottom left corner under the provisioning profile list.
There are two ways for deleting your old provisioning profiles from Xcode.
1. Xcode Preferences
2. iPhone Configuration Utility Software.
Xcode Preferences -> Go Xcode -> click on left hand side top toolbar option Xcode -> Click Preferences -> Accounts, select your account, and hit the refresh button on the bottom left corner under the provisioning profile list.
By doing this you can delete your provisioning profiles.
iPhone Configuration Utility Software -> Install this software -> Open Software -> Provisioning Profiles -> find list of your all profile -> Press Backspace button, it will ask to delete provisioning profile ->Click on delete provisioning profile. So it will remove it from your all existing Xcode application and even from your PC.

No identities were available - administrator request

I had problems while "archiving" my app. I think there are invalid profiles because of iPhone Update to 5.1 and XCode update to 4.2.2.
I've taken now more than 4 hours to get rid of certification issues while using this thread step by step 3 times (which costs a lot of time):
Getting "A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain" warning
I still have the following fault:
No identities were available
An administrator must request identities before they can be downloaded.
The "Download identities" button went back to this window after processing some seconds.
Do you know how to get out of this wood of certification documentations and solve that fault?
Visit Member Center
Go to "iOS Provisioning Portal" -> "Certificates" (Left sidebar) >> "Distribution" tab
Check field "Provisioning Profiles". If empty, next (4)
Go to "Provisioning" (Left sidebar) -> "Distribution" tab. Press "New Profile" and complete it.
Go back to (3) check the field again.
Download and "run" (double click) the new provisioning profile.
In your project's build settings select the NEW provisioning profile (it might have the same name as the old one)
In your project's build settings update your code signing identities (all of them) to the new one if there is one. (The old one was probably expired which is one of the biggest causes for the error message you saw)
Verify that your bundle ID is correct (CaSe SeNsEtIvE)
Back to XCode Organizer - Devices. Click TEAM (Left sidebar) and click "Refresh" (right-bottom). You will find XCode fetch the new profile. If new content loaded, repeat steps 6 and 7 (they will have been changed!) *If you can't find team because you are running a newer version of xCode, go to Xcode preferences (clicking "Xcode" on the mac toolbar on the top left corner of your screen) and go to account, select your team and click refresh. If new content loaded, repeat steps 6 and 7 (they will have been changed!)If you are in Preferences -> Accounts and you still can't refresh, then:
Click on the Accounts tab
Select an Apple ID in the list
Click "View Details" on the bottom right
Click on the refresh arrow on the bottom left
Xcode will now refresh the updated credentials, and you can proceed to validate or distribute your app.
Validate or distribute your app again. It should work.
If this didn't work then go to "TEAM" under project settings > targets and select "none"... Now that you have selected None you will need to repeat step 7 and change the code signing identities (all of them) and try archiving again.
Lastly, if none of the above worked. Simply create a new production certificate AND create a new provisioning profile with the same bundle ID. (Yes, this will work if you are updating an app that is already live). Download the cert and prov. profile and run both (double click). Now repeat step 6 and archive. This should work.
#Takoi's answer is correct. However, with my latest version of Xcode, there is no TEAM option in the Devices section of the Organizer. I had to do the following instead to refresh the credentials:
Go to Xcode->Preferences
Click on the Accounts tab
Select an Apple ID in the list
Click "View Details" on the bottom right
Click on the refresh arrow on the bottom left
Xcode will now refresh the updated credentials, and you can proceed to validate or distribute your app.
Hope this helps!
Make sure the bundle id in your .plist file in XCode is the same as the bundle id in itunesconnect, if it's off, it won't be able to match the archive to the profile on itunesconnect when validating/distributing.
This is a little easier now.
You go to the app itunesconnect and login
click "certificates"
Provisioning Profiles / Distribution
generate a profile,
download the profile
double click it
I am a member of 2 teams and had the same problem while uploading one of the projects.
Changing General -> Identity -> Team to None in project settings (XCode 5) allowed me to upload the application to iTunesConnect.
Screenshot is here
My certificate had expired which resulted in my provisioning profile being expired.
Once I -
Updated my certificate on the iOS web portal
Clicked Edited on the provision profile
Selected the new certificate and clicked generate
In Xcode I refreshed my provisioning profiles
Error went away
I guess it is written somewhere in the stream, I did not read all in detail. I just want to emphasise on this point:
Due to an annoying xCode behavior, once you've set up everything, you HAVE TO clean the project and Quit xCode.
Then relaunch and build. Now you know if it works or not.
It looks like you're going to have to request another developer cert. Go to the iOS dev center website and go to the provisioning portal. Click the certificates tab and follow the directions. https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/certificates/team/howto.action
To be clear, you're problem doesnt seem to be provisioning related, it's specifically the developer cert. if you do get another cert, you'll have to create all new profiles to sign your apps with.
My bundle identifier was named differently. I had to change it from Nyquist.GasBro to com.Nyquist.GasBro which is what I had in the provisioning profile.
None of previous answers helped me, so I post my issue.
Dev Center: Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Provisioning Profile > Distribution
Make sure that there is a distribution provisioning profile, and App ID in it is exactly the same as Bundle ID of your app in Xcode (Project Settings > General > Identity > Bundle Identifier).
Xcode: Project Settings > Build Settings > Code Signing:
Provisioning profile - choose that Distribution provisioning profile name (not Development!)
Code Signing Identity - I choosed Automatic since I have only one.
P.S. Before doing this, I deleted all unused and expired provisioning profiles and signing identities from Dev Center and from Xcode. Then, refreshed as mentioned in other answers: Xcode: Preferences > Accounts > (my Apple ID) > View Details > Refresh.
The answer that you are looking for is that when you generate the certificate request for COMMON NAME you need to put your HUMAN NAME as in John Smith, not your app name. Apple uses this term Common Name in 2 different ways and doesn't tell you that the certificate is supposed to have your name on it whereas in another area they ask for common name and want the APP name.
I had the same problem.
Nothing mentioned on this page did not work for me until i was deleted everything from archive.
After that problem disappear.
For those who says that the Ad Hoc Distribution profile wont work this year 2014, I have to agree.
In Build Settings locate the Code Signing setting: for Release choose your Store Distribution and then select Menu>Product>Archive.
Later, in the Organizer Window, select your archive and clic in Validate. It will let you select the Ad Hoc profile and validate... then select Distribute, it will let you save as .ipa file.

"No unexpired provisioning profiles found that contain any of the keychain's signing certificates" Horror

I have seen a few other questions that addressed this topic but none like mine. Yesterday I innocently added a device to the list of devices.
Question:
I am under the impression that once you add a device, it will now be linked to the provisioning profile. However, I believe it was not linked to one of my distribution profiles. So I went into edit the profile, clicked the checkmark next to the device, and hit submit. This is where the problems began.
I notice two things: I recently renewed my certificate/provisioning profiles about a week ago. Now, it thinks I renewed my provisioning profile yesterday ( or at least it says so in the organiser ).
Also, when I try to build any project I get the awful "No unexpired provisioning profiles found that contain any of the keychain's signing certificates". In the build settings my signing identity shows up under Identities without provisioning profiles. I have read horror stories of people having to tear everything down and rebuild and I hope I don't have to do that here..

1) in the xcode organizer:
delete all provisioning profiles
2) in the mac os x keychain:
delete all iOS dev certificates
3) go to developer.apple.com
log in to the member center
revoke all certificates (edit: some redditors pointed out that this isn't a good idea if you're working in a bigger team. If that's the case try just deleting expired ones.)
4) go back to the xcode organizer:
click refresh (bottom right) under the provisioning profiles tab and
login
List item
on the popups click the positive button
5) in your xcode project go to the "build settings" tab
under code signing pick the dev. and distr. identities
if they are not there or not valid go to developer.apple.com and navigate to "provisioning" if they are invalid just click modify and save them again
6) go back to the xcode organizer:
hit refresh again (bottom right)
Today I've installed Xcode 4.3.2, and immediately had the same problem! First trying to archive distribution, and after that In a clean new project, trying to run on a device.
I fixed both problems.
1. For successful distribution I've downloaded and installed my distribution certificate from iOS provisioning portal, after that in Xcode I've setup Code Signing Identity correctly. This solved my problem with archiving.
2. I had the same problem creating new project and trying to run on device. Again in provisioning portal in certificates I've deleted my development cert. Also I deleted all development provision profiles. Also deleted them from organiser. Then I added the device again.
Hope this helps!
For me just hit the "Refresh Button" at the bottom right was the answer !
Hope I can help someone.
I got this error when I the bundle identifier for my app did not match the provisioning profile I was trying to use with it.
I came across this today. It turns out that after I cleaned up my devices list (removed a few I'm no longer doing development for) it made some of my development certificates invalid. I deleted those from the provisioning profiles and regenerated them.
I have Xcode 5.1 and i fixed the issue like this
Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts -> View details -> Refresh button (Bottom Left)
After it was refreshed i clicked done, and the error was gone :)
