I distribute my app for tests by putting link to plist on my server and i'm wondering if i need to re-install provisioning profile and archive and send ipa back to the server after i will add new udids. Also is there a way to distribute for tests without the need to know those udids?
For this, you have to add UDID in your provisioning profile, then download it and make build with this fresh provisioning profile. Without this newly added devices could not install the application.

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.

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.
My provisioning profile got expire today, Now customer is not able to launch the app in there device.I have regenerate the provisioning profile , Still customer cant launch the app , Do I have to make a new build again? I did not upload the app to the appstore, user downloaded it from the internal link.
yeah, with new provisioning profile you have to generate new build or ipa, and then register device with this provisioning profile can install your application.
Yes,You need to create a new provisioning profile, then build a new IPA using it. So all the registered device will be able to install an app.
The provisioning profile is shipped along with your app if you do this with the app ipa - Rename ipa to zip and Unzip - you will see inside the Payload an app file - right click to see contents and you will see the provisioning profile.
Thats the reason why you have to resign the app with new provisioning profile and upload it.
Also check this if you want to resign with a different certificate
How to re-sign the ipa file?
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 downloaded an IPA off the web and I want to upload it to Diawi or TestFlight for demo testing, but I keep getting errors like No provisioning profile found in the application bundle or Invalid IPA: missing embedded provisioning profile. Are you sure this is an ad hoc?
How can I edit the IPA so I can successfully upload them to the demo sites?
PS: I don't have XCode.
You can't.
When the .ipa was built, it had to have been built with a provisioning profile in order to be distributed. In addition, your test device's UDID has to be on the list of valid devices for that provisioning profile. Once the .ipa has been created, you can't go back and edit it. If you want to be able to run it on your device, you need to create a new one--or have the original person who created the .ipa make a new one, since you don't have XCode.
You can not sign .IPA file with any other way, you need to prepare new build signed with updated provisioning profile, where devices ID's are included in it.
Make sure that while creating an .ipa file you must need to select Generic iOS Device as a
I'm confused as to how to add a provisioning profile to a new device. So I'm using Xcode 4.3.2, and TestFlight. I was given a pre-existing project and a team license via the company I'm helping out. The provisioning profile on developer.apple.com had certain devices already set up. So I added all these devices as testers to TestFlight, sent out an archived build, no problems, worked fine.
Now, one of the testers wants to try out testing on an iPad. So, I sent them an invite via TestFlight, and their device automatically registered on TestFlight. I see their UDID, and device, etc. However, their device is listed under "Teammates Devices Not On This Profile". So, I followed the prompts, exported the missing UDID to a file, and uploaded the file to the Provisioning Portal. I see the iPad now under "Devices" in the Provisioning Portal, however it is listed with 0 profiles associated. How to I associate the provisioning portal of this app with the iPad? Is there some simple step I'm missing? Keep in mind this iPad is in a foreign location, so I have no control over it. I need to tell them what they need to do (or automate it myself). Please help!
You need to add the device to the provisioning profile. Then, build the project again using the updated provisioning profile. And upload that build to test flight.
Or, I believe TestFlight has a new feature that allows you to simply update the build with the new profile without having to create a new build.
