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.

How do I permanently delete the provisioning profiles that Xcode creates and manages?
I tried:
Deleting them from the Apple Developer site
Selecting them in Xcode's Accounts settings and choosing Move to Trash
Deleting the profiles on my connected iPhone, in Xcode's Devices window
Deleting and re-adding the Apple ID from Xcode's Accounts settings.
Making sure ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles is empty
Quitting and re-launching Xcode
But then when I go to Xcode's Accounts settings and click Download All, the deleted profiles re-appear. Where are they coming from? How do I get rid of them?
First delete them from the Apple Developer Site.
Do not allow Xcode to manage it via Automatic option (most important thing). Always choose provisionings you create manually in Developer Site.:
you may remove them via Accounts Preferences (right click on item -> Move to Trash):
I have no idea if this is safe, but I deleted the files ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DeveloperPortal*. After doing that, the profiles are no longer re-created when I click Download All. This worked on two separate machines.
After doing this, I had to delete and re-add the Apple IDs to Xcode, so that it could find their teams again. I didn't notice any other problems.
I`m using two macs for develop and i configure the certificate and then generate two Provising Profiles, but when i active then and run the application in device from xcode in mac1 it desactive the other.
And from the desactivated i got this error.
How i supose configure for be activate in both mac?
This happened as the apple WWDR certificate expired... Apple did contact all developers about this:
https://developer.apple.com/support/certificates/expiration/
If you go into keychain access.
Click on System
Click on Certificates
Click on the WWDR certificate (probably expired)
Delete it
Download the new one
Install it on both macs (in System -> Certificates)
Xcode should fix this really, so:
Open Xcode
Click on the Xcode menu
Click on Preferences
In preferences click on the Accounts tab
In accounts select your applicable account (the one which should have the developer profile
Click on the view details button
At the top, you'll see your certificates. Click reset (or create) next to each
At the bottom of the page, download each of the provision profiles, Xcode should install them for you
See if that works.
If that again doesn't work, in system prefs, go to "Profiles" delete the one thats giving you issues and repeat the code fix above.
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.
YM
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.
I have been working on iPhone application development when i try to use my already existing provisioning profile that is working well in Xcode 5 will misbehave.
My development provisioning profile replace with production and it will automatically chose Xc:....
type provisioning profile
and also become production release.
Any Idea what is going on?
Go to Apple Developer Page and find the distribution provisioning profile you want to use.
Select it, click Edit, re-name the profile, and click Generate.
Download the provisioning profile to the Desktop and drag it onto the Xcode 6 icon.
Re-start Xcode 6.
Open the organizer window and click Submit on the archive you built. Xcode will automatically pick your explicit profile instead of the generic one.
Download the iPhone Configuration Utility:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1465
Close xCode.
Open iPhone Configuration Utility and click on Provisioning Profiles on the left side.
Delete the autogenerated ones and make sure your existing one is downloaded.
Restart xCode.
When you build again, it should use your old one.
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.
