When i try to archive me app in Xcode, it gives me an error that i don't have a provisioning profile. how do i get one. i have an IOS Development account.
I tried to upload a distribution certificate, but it did not work. why?
The Error says...
XCode attempted to locate or generate matching signing assets and failed to do so because of the following issues.
you account already had a valid IOS Distribution certificate
visit member center or import developer profile.
There are certificates and there are profiles, they are two different things. It sounds like you have a distribution certificate. Go to the developer portal, and then go the the identities, certificates, and profiles.
Profiles will be at the bottom. You need a distribution profile for your app id. Distribution profiles are then signed by distribution certificates. It is pretty straightforward. Once you create the profile, download it and double click it to add it to your library.

I'm a novice Flutter developer. I just completed my first app. I've managed to get it published to the Google Play Store internal testing process. I'm attempting the same for iOS and macOS and TestFlight but I'm getting stuck when I try to upload for Distribution. The error is a mismatch in the code signed versus the provisioning profile. I've retraced and retried my steps multiple times, but I'm stuck.
Anyone willing to help me?
Thanks in advance,
JT
If you get this error, you probably don't have the correct type of Provisioning Profile. There's a few types of Provisioning Profiles, most notably are the "Development" and "Distribution" profiles. I suggest looking at your provisioning profiles, and if necessary recreate them.
To elaborate: You have 1 Certificate (created via Xcode Certificate Generating). With this Certificate, you can create an "App Identifier", and Provisioning Profiles. You can use the same Certificate for both a Developer Provisioning Profile and a Distribution Provisioning Profile. They don't work with one another, meaning a Developer Provisioning Profile won't work for a release build, and a Distribution Provisioning Profile won't work for a debugg build.
Try this, and see if that helps. Be sure to haul the new profiles in Xcode (or any other method you'd use) and edit your project's settings.
Error Code-90161 Invalid provisioning profile
I am trying to create a distribution profile. From scratch I deleted every certificate at KeyChain. I removed all provision profile using terminal method. I closed my Xcode. Then I followed this link to create the distribution certificate and profiles. I followed the step correctly and I got the following results. I keep getting "No signing certificate"IOS development found" Please help.
Edited
I then created the Development certificate following this link and now I get different certificates name for Development and Distribution. My error is Distribution Provision Profile doesn't include signing certificate iPhone Developer xxxx xxxx
Please help, thanks.
After creating the development profile
Why is my certificate different name for development and distribution, I followed the steps to create certificate. Why is it different name?
FOR DISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES
On BuildSettings make sure you pick "IOS Distribution" instead of "IOS DEVELOPER" in the "Code Signing Identity" dropdown:
You have the certificate and provisioning profile for iOS Distribution. You are trying to do a build for development (building to a test device), which will require you to generate a certificate and profile for iOS Development. Follow the steps you did, but when you need to specificy what the certificate is for, choose iOS Development. Also, when you create the provisioning profile, select iOS Development. It is actually the next article on the site you were using: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/308242-how-do-i-create-a-development-profile-for-ios
The iOS Distribution certificate / profile will be used when you want to submit to Apple for testing through TestFlight, or for distribution in the App Store, so don't worry about deleting those.
I had the same problem and I solved it just checking the configuration of certificates and provisioning.
Check if they are using correct provisioning profiles
And check if they are using the correct reference in code signing
That's what worked for me...
By mistake I removed the existing developer provisioning profile. So I am trying to create a new developer provisioning profile but each time it is showing ineligible.
Role of my user in the team is agent. App id, adhoc, and distribution provisioning profiles are created under that team with my ID which is working fine. I downloaded all developer and distribution certificates also. But in my keychain I found private key missing for the developer certificate but present for distribution certificate.
At the time of creation of the developer provisioning profile I am selecting all the available signing certificate and all the device ids. In my Xcode project when I am trying to select the developer provisioning profile, which is showing ineligible, I am getting the error message:
"Provisioning profile 'dev_provisioning_profile' doesn't include signing certificate 'iPhone Developer:'. No certificate matching 'iPhone Developer: ' for team 'team_name'.
What should I do to create valid developer provisioning profile?
Finally solved the issue. Just writing the steps. Not so sure that these are the exact steps but worked for me, may be helpful to others-
Delete the developer certificate that does not have a private key.
Then first check then uncheck the Automatically manage signing option in the project settings with selecting team.
Select provisioning profile in the project settings.
Delete the provisioning profile from machine.
Sign in developer account and edit the provisioning profile selecting all available developer certificates
Download the provisioning profile and add to XCODE.
By following these steps the provisioning profile becomes eligible and working fine.
You should delete the developer certificate that does not have a private key especially if there are multiple instances with the same identity. Also an easy way to solve this may be to uncheck then check the Automatically manage signing option in the project settings.

I have created IPA using Xamarin IOS in ad-hoc mode and selected a adhoc provisioning profile. but while uploading, following error annoying me :(
when I uploaded using application loader:

My issue was related to having Xcode Automatically manage signing. What finally fixed the issue for me was going into the developer portal, selecting Certificates, and revoking the Distribution Managed certificate. I then rebuilt my project in Xcode, keeping the checkmark enabled to Automatically manage signing, and a new Distribution Managed certificate was automatically created in the developer portal under certificates. Distributing the archive to the App Store no longer produced any errors.
This issue also came up in other projects where I manually manage the Provisioning Profile. What worked for me was doing the following on the developer.apple.com portal:
Revoke the existing Distribution Certificate linked to the app's provisioning profile.
Issue a new Apple Distribution Certificate.
Link the new certificate to the app's provisioning profile.
Make sure to select the correct provisioning profile for your app's target in Xcode.
While de3z1e's solution seems to work for most people, it did not work for me. What did work was creating an Apple Distribution cert when using XCode settings. While Xcode is open,
Go to preferences (Command + ,) -> Accounts -> Choose your team -> Manage certificates -> + (bottom left) -> Apple Distribution -> Re-archive + upload
I am not sure why the other solution did not work for me, but this did. I also have Xcode manual signing on and left it on.
For Distribution:
If you upload to Test Flight you need an Apple Store provisioning Profile.
If you are distributing to specific devices, you need Ad hoc provisioning profile.
You assign it in visual studio through Manual Provisioning, choosing an Apple Distribution Identity, and choosing your provisioning profile manualy - nothing in automatic.
If you like me could not find your newly created provisioning profile to appear in visual studio, make sure the bundile indetifier in info.plist is the same as used in the provisioning profile.
If you are white-labeling as per xam-girls blog, other copies of info.plist is not looked at by visual studio iOS Bundle Signing
I faced same problem. I edited profiles, it works.
Click edit button all provisioning profiles and save it. Download and use edited profiles. App will upload to store.
I made an app and am trying to upload it to iTunes Connect. I have a certificate installed, development certificate and distribution certificate...see picture..
...But, somehow, when I am trying to archive the app in Xcode to binary, it reports an error:
All my certificates are valid, but it's still complaining about distribution certificates,
What am I missing?
You don't appear to have a distribution profile (only a developer profile -- in organizer). You appear to have a distribution certificate, but no profile. You must create a distribution profile for your app. You can do this in the portal.
Did you generate the certificate on your own Mac? The certificate must match a private key in the keychain. If not, revoke the existing certificate and create a new one. You will have to perform the signing from Apple again.
