XCode "Too few items in teams" error when refreshing provisioning profiles
(8 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am trying to set up a new machine with XCode and my developer account and keep running into the following error while trying to refresh provisioning profiles from the Organizer:
Too few items in Property/teams/Entity/Developer
I have followed all of the suggestions in this thread, to no avail.
It seems like it's a problem with multiple/incorrect identities in the keychain, but I have not been able to fix it thus far, and there seems to be very little info on this issue in the wild.
I have tried all of the following:
Deleting all of development-related certificates in my keychain
Revoking/reissuing the development certificate via iOS dev center.
Logging out of all other Apple-related services (iTunes, App Store, etc).
Reinstalling XCode via App Store.
Has anyone else had this problem?
This stuff is just sooooo frustrating. Not sure if it will help but I snapshoted what I have in the KeyChain. When you see a disclosure triangle it means there is a Key under the certificate.
Was able to solve this just now by following some advice from another developer forum.
This worked for me:
Log out of all services requiring an Apple ID (iTunes, App Store, etc)
Delete any existing developer identity certificates from your keychain.
Open keychain and delete all keys containing "daw2.apple.com" and "daw.apple.com" from all keychains.
Close and reopen XCode.
Open organizer and click refresh. You will be prompted to enter your account information. Make sure to enter the Apple ID associated with your developer account. Check the box "store in keychain".
It should fetch the certificates and provisioning profiles from your developer account and the error should be gone!

There is a simpler way:
Open your keychain
Press "All the elements" in the "Category"
Now select "login" in the keychain Tab
type in the search bar "daw.apple.com"
delete all the results of this search.
Restart Xcode
Open the organizer
refresh the "provisioning profiles" page
Insert your username and password.
#mutexmark is right:)
BTW, here is the Apple doc:

Provisioning Profile Refresh Troubleshooting:
If you are receiving the error message:
Too few items in Teams
Perform the steps below:
Open Keychain Access > Passwords category.
Delete the entries for daw.apple.com and daw2.apple.com
Retry the Provisioning Profile Refresh process.
I still encountered the same issue after following the other answers on this page. Here is what I needed to do to get things working.
Make sure that you have fully accepted the invitation email to join the Apple Developer program. Your account admin can verify your status through the management panel.
Click the link inside the "Please verify your email address" email

I'm new to iOS development, and I can't figure out how to delete bad certificates from Xcode 8. I feel like I've searched everywhere, but I can't find a straightforward answer.
Here's what I tried (couple images below):
In Xcode, I go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab, and then I click on my Apple ID login. I have 2 different teams - a personal one, and a company enterprise team.
When I click on my personal account, and go to Manage Certificates, there's an old certificate that uses an incorrect email I used before, and it says status Not in Keychain. But when I right click on it all the options, such as Delete Certificate are grayed out. How can I delete this? I really don't want it there because it seems messy.
Then when I go to my company team, and go to Manage Certificates, there's a certificate that I had accidentally revoked through the Portal that is now named Untitled. And when I right click on it, the Delete Certificate is also grayed out.
How can I get rid of these certificates?
I had a couple of Untitled certificates as well and after a lot of digging was able to delete them through the keychain app. When you open keychain, under login / My Certificates I had a few certificates which were either expired or revoked causing them to show up as Untitled in Xcode. I simply deleted the certs in keychain and they then disappeared in Xcode.
I want to upload my app to testflight. when I upload the app Xcode shows this error:
your account does not have permission to create ios distribution certificates
Anyone help me?
This seems to be a bug or poorly described feature in iTunes Connect & the Apple Developer portal.
I had a developer that joined my team, initially as a "member", but wasn't able to create certificates, even after giving him admin access. It turns out, that I believe we were only giving him admin access to Itunes connect, but not to the developer page.
The correct fix was to go to the developer portal, click the "People" tab (or go to this URL https://developer.apple.com/account/#/people/), remove his access, then use the Invite as Admins to add him to the account. He then had to go into Xcode and remove his developer account information, add it back in, and then he was finally able to upload builds to Testflight without this error.
This should be the user permission issue. Please note that only user with Team Agent role has permission to generate certificates for distribution of app outside the App Store. I believe, you are not in Team Agent role. Please double check your permissions.
You can even generate a Certificate Signing Request and send it to your Team Agent. Get back the created certificate from the Team Agent and use it to sign apps.
Based on your comment "Yes, we have a developer account for Team" I am guessing that what you have is an Enterprise Developer account. If you have a Enterprise DA you cannot upload to the apple store/test-flight. You will need to create a personal developer account for that. Enterprise accounts are only good for in house testing and not for external. That's why you are getting this error.
Using keychain, export valid certificate on a computer on which iOS distribution signing identity works. You need two files, one is public - <fileNamePublic>.pem file, and other is private - <fileNamePrivate>.p12 file.
Put those files in a folder on computer on which you need signing identity to work.
Open terminal and browse to the folder you've put them in.
First, type: security import <fileNamePrivate>.p12 -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Then type: security import <fileNamePublic>.pem -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Open XCode, go to XCode>preferences>accounts>view details and refresh the apple id you are using
You should have signing identities enabled.
Perhaps your iTunes Connect account does not have the correct role?
I was receiving similar error and also, I had a permission to create certificate with my account which has developer role. I tried all of the solutions but none of them worked for me. Therefore, I downloaded provisioning profile from developer account and I used that provisioning profile from manual signing when I was archiving to my build then error disappeared.
Every thing was good with my account, no permission changed as already it was same email id used to purchase the account.
I fixed this problem by removing the account from Xcode preferences and again added it. What i did was immediately added credentials in Xcode preferences right after purchasing the account. I should have to wait for Apple to process the order.
For anyone finding this now: Team Agent no longer exists. If your role is Admin or App Manager you can upload builds and create provisioning profiles, etc. Note that if you get this error when you upload, then ask for the correct permissions and it still doesn't work, quit Xcode and try again!
Perhaps your provisioning profile was expired and even after updating it from Apple's developer website, Xcode doesn't try to fetch the new one.
Here's how to solve it:
Xcode -> preferences -> accounts
Select your Apple ID, and on the right bottom pane select your team and click View Details
Under provisioning profile, find your expired profile, right click, and click Move to Trash
You should be able to sign and upload your app.
If you are getting the same error...Create the .ipa file and upload to https://www.diawi.com/
you will get an link, which you can share with your client.It's not a solution for your question but it will help you.
I got a strange error in my Xcode organizer when I want to update my Provisioning profiles.
Xcode says this:
"No iOS Development certificate was found. However, there is already a certificate request pending. An Agent or Admin must approve this request before you can download your certificate."
I never experienced this before so if someone got an explanation and maybe a solution, it could be nice :).
I check on the provisioning page in the developer zone on the Apple website but I don't find something that could be broken :/
The trick that did it for me was to log into developer.apple.com and manually create a dev certificate and then manually create a provisioning profile. I have only one team with only one member (me) so there was no way for me to approve a certificate. When I tried to do it automatically through the Xcode organizer, the error just persisted.
Same error message here. Seems to have multiple sources.
Mine was that I have a developer account and joining two teams.
In one team i had no Certificates at all. In the past this did not cause any problems. In Xcode Organizer I could choose which team I try to fetch the Provisioning Profiles. And if chose the team for which I had Development Certificate the Provisioning Profiles got downloaded with no error.
I think, with the new improved Member Center starting from april 2013 the Organizer fetches automatically all team accounts - without asking for a specific team. As one team had no certificate at all, the process of fetching for all teams stop with this error message.
Solution (for this problem) is to add a Development Certificate for ALL teams.
Having just gone through this myself, I highly recommend you contact Apple Developer Program Support and have them walk you through the process of resetting your certificates and profiles. It is not a difficult thing to do manually, but there are lots of ways to muck it up (I speak from experience) AND the more people that call the more likely they are to continue improving the process.
That said, the short(-ish) answer is to delete all of your developer and installer certificates from Keychain, then delete all certificates and provisioning profiles from the portal, then create them all again from scratch, and then refresh Xcode to bring them all in.
Oh, and be sure to back it all up when you're done!
I got the same issue, and solved it by clicking my team under "Teams" in organiser. I only have one team there atm, and didn't expect that to have any impact, but it forced a reload of the profiles or so, and now it works. Hth.
My situation was that I got this message when trying to refresh my old certificates (developer + distribution) from Xcode, when they had expired due to the yearly renewal of the developer program.
For what it's worth, I managed to fix the problem by this procedure (roughly):
Delete my old "iOS Team Provisioning Profile" from my device
Open my keychain and delete the old private keys associated with with the expired certificates.
Remove the expired certificates from the list in Xcode's organizer (on the portal, they were deleted already).
Generate new certificates manually on the portal, following the instructions in detail (including downloading the new certificates and double-click to install).
After trying a new refresh in Xcode's organizer, I still got the same error message, but when checking on the device, a new provisioning profile had now been automatically created and installed, so I could forget about the error message.
You have developer access in apple developer profile. Please ask admin to approve your certificate request.When admin/agent will approve then automatically that error will be removed.
As the message says you need to log into developer.apple.com site and approve the certificate request.
If you are not the agent for your account, then you will need to get the agent to approve the request.
Oddly all it took for me was:
First do an export (just to be safe!)
Xcode 5:
In Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts
Click the cog icon at the bottom left -> Export Accounts...
Enter a filename and password and save
Ideally, then back it up somewhere that's not your Mac (Dropbox for example) - it is encrypted so that's okay.
Then for the actual fix:
Xcode 5:
In Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select the Apple ID in the left column
Click the "-" (minus) icon at the bottom left and conf
Click the "+" (plus) icon at the bottom left -> Apple ID... and login
Everything was then just fine...
In Xcode: Menu Xcode --> Preferences --> Accounts --> View Details
Then press the refresh button in the lower left corner.
I got a slightly different message recently Nov-2021 using xcode 13.x . The message was "ios_develop.cer file not found" when I was trying to "Build" the project, even though the file was there although it was expired. I was not surprised, I hadn't built this solution for years. I do renew my Apple developer subscription every year. My son took a very old school solution to fix this that I wanted to mention in case it helps anyone. Apple tools like "Manage Certificates" wouldn't let me delete the old certificate so we deleted the certificate in File Manager and generated some new ones, but we couldn't get xcode past the "file not found" message, even with certificates created in xcode "Manage Certificates". Then my son copied the new Developer cert to the location it was looking for and renamed it to exactly the name it was looking for. Xcode then started to fuss about permissions on the new cert which we fixed in Get Info, Properties "Allow Access to All" both the public and private cert. I really thought there was zero chance this would work but go figure, all the sudden the old xcode project fully Built and we were able to place the iPhone executable on iPhones that were in the provisioning list. Refreshing that such an old style approach (placing a file where it was looked for) worked so well. Now that Apple sees that this works they will probably check to see the cert was provided only through their tools, but it should work for a while.
I have the same problem. There is indeed nothing to approve, the status of my certificates is issued, if there would be a need for provenance there would be a button to do so. To be able to continue working I just deleted the "Xcode managed" profile, created a new one, downloaded it (not using Xcode) and throw it into Organizer.
I met the same problem with an Apple ID account (admin) with two Team. Once I remove my account from one of the team, that message never bother me anymore. But in this case, if I want to refresh all provision profiles using two distinct account. Hope this will help.
Just download the provision files manually solved the problem for me.
I was able to solve this issue for myself by discovering I had a couple of CSR's that I hadn't completed. Both files had the extension .certSigningRequest and had been produced through the Member Center (not Xcode). But I had not completed the upload and certificate generation, which is what Xcode was complaining about when it said "However, there is already a certificate request pending.". Once I completed those steps the problem went away.
I'm trying to build my apps. I've installed the provisioning profiles that my team has set up. I've installed my developer certificate and the WWDR certificate. But when I refresh my provisioning profile library it throws this error:
I have no idea what to do.
It seems like I had two accounts for apple like most people: 1) email address account and 2) just apple user ID login.
When you sign up for an iOS developer account, only one account gets approved as an iOS developer. It doesn't matter if those two accounts are merged and linked inside apple profile, only one gets approved. You can check this by logging into both accounts separately to their developer website. One account will say you are a member and another will say pay up the fee to become iOS developer.
The problem is that your keychain already stored one of apple id credentials from the past... and you probably signed up for apple iOS developer program using the other apple login. Xcode automatically gets keychain's previously stored credential for 'Teams' section and since that account from keychain was not activated for the iOS developer account, it's complaining that no one is a valid developer in 'Teams'.
To solve this,
delete any, all apple related stuff from your keychain login.
revoke all the problematic profiles, certs, etc from apple website.
just redo provisioning process only using iOS developer approved apple login.
From XCode Organizer's Teams section, click 'refresh' icon at the bottom and follow direction.
This happened to me when I use Apple Developer account which does not have valid iOS developer certificate. The certificate is either expired or never bought in the first place.
Once I log in with the valid iOS Developer account, the problem no longer appears.
My solution was a simple logout from iTunes and Mac App Store. I was loged with an different Apple ID. This Apple ID is different from my Apple ID that I'm using for iOS Program.
I got the message too:
"Too few items in Property/teams/Entity/Developer"
It works now, after adding my account (which is connected with the macbook in itunes and which I used in Xcode) to an "Developer" under "Peoples" at https://developer.apple.com/membercenter/index.action#iPhoneDev
Give it a try.
Just a quick note if somebody from Mac Develop program lands here:
I'm brand new to Apple development, so, maybe this is a common knowledge, but I didn't ran across.
Signed up for Mac Developer program, not iOS, and tried to "Refresh from Developer Portal" with exact same error: "Too few items in teams." Tried all the steps above and elsewhere, with no success.
Ended up calling their support to only find out that this particular functionality doesn't work with Mac Dev only (no iOS Dev) membership profiles. So, manual download/import is the solution as tech on the phone told me that it looks for iOS teams, doesn't find it and errors out.
Hope this helps & saves a couple of hours of frustration for somebody.

No identities were available - administrator request
OK I was going to post an image but SO won't let me. It's an error box with a yellow triangle exclamation mark and the text "No Identities were Available, An administrator must request identities before they can be downloaded, [Button] Download Identities... [Button] Import Develop Profile..."
Has anyone got any idea what is going on with this error? Appears on clicking "validate" in the organiser after building for Archiving in the "Release" configuration. The Developer Profile is installed (I have re-downloaded and re-installed it heaps of times to try and get past this...). The app exists in iTunes Connect and I have created an App ID for it in Dev Center, and provisioning profiles, etc. It builds and runs fine....
I can't make head or tail of the help articles on the Developer Portal as they seem to be for some old version of Xcode and I have only ever really used version 4. Any ideas what is going on here?
Oh, "Download Identities" does nothing either, it just shows a spinner for a while and redisplays the error.
I just had this same issue. For me the solution was that I had made provisioning profiles in Member Center, but they were for Development rather than Distribution. As soon as I made a Distribution profile (on a separate tab in the Provisioning Portal), I was good to go.
I hope that helps!
Answer: App IDs are case sensitive, and must match between the App ID in the Developer Portal and the App ID in Xcode. Exactly.
You are missing the Distribution mobileprovision file. Get your admin (or login as admin) to create and download one for your app from iOS Provisioning Portal - Provisioning - Distribution.
Update:
Here's "About App Distribution" instructions by Apple. Not duplicated here, since Apple keeps updating their system and a link to Apple's docs is more likely to remain uptodate.
