How to add a new device to a team provisioning profile - ios

I have a new device for our app to be tested on, so I added it to the provisioning portal.
There are currently two development provisioning profiles - however the provisioning portal will not let me edit the team provisioning profile in order to add the new device.
- But I'm sure this something I've done before as I've previously added new devices as they arrived to enable testing with them.
How can I add the new device if the profile isn't editable? (
(The limit has not been reached, there's only several devices in the portal in total).

For Xcode 5 :
From the Xcode menu select preferences>>Accounts, Select your Apple ID then select Details...
You will get a popup with your Signing Identities and Provisioning Profiles.
Click the Refresh button in the bottom left and the iOS Team Provisioning Profiles get re-generated and downloaded.

You don't have to edit it, click Refresh in Xcode Organizer to make it generate a new one for you automatically.

For new XCode 5 & Xcode 6
Adding Device UDID to Provisioning Profile on developer.apple.com
Login to iOS dev center and go to Device section under 'Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles'
Add new Device using UDID
Update Provisioning profile with newly added Device
Once you have added the device and need to update your developer provision profile
Select newly added device in provisioning profile and click Generate
Update XCode with Updated Provisioning Profile
Finally goto XCode --> Preferences --> Accounts --> ViewDetails -->Refresh -->Done
That's All Go for Clean and Build now.
Cheers!!

On XCode 7 the answers here are inapplicable. https://stackoverflow.com/a/32725552/1449799 should work (delete the profiles in xcode, and tell it to download them again), BUT unlike the instructions at the link, for XCode Version 7.2.1 (7C1002), you (or at least I) cannot select multiple profiles at once.

Open the Organizer window in Xcode. With your device plugged in to the computer, select your device in the Organizer.
In the area detailing your device's specs, click the button titled "Use for Development". You may need to log in to your Apple Developer profile. Once that's done, your device should be listed as part of the provisioning profile and have the profile installed.

How to add a device to provisioning profile automatically?

I want to allow my users to install my iOS app with ad-hoc distribution. I want to get their UDIDs and add them to the provisioning profile automatically. I know how to do it manually in the developer portal but what I need is an api to do this process automatically not manually.
Does apple provide any api or other means to add devices to provisioning profile automatically?
(Note that I do not have any device available. I just have their UDIDs)
Xcode will automatically add your devices into your provisioning profile. You will see a warning about that on xcode. You can click "Register" button on it.
Try the below steps
Login to your iphone provisioning portal through developer.apple.com
Add the UDID in devices
Go back to XCode, open up the Organizer and select "Provisioning Profiles", ensure that "Automatic Device Provisioning" is checked on the top right pane, then click on the "Refresh" button, and magically all your devices set in the provisioning portal will be automatically added.

Add new device to provisioning profile automatically managed by Xcode

I've gt a question regarding Xcode automatically manage signing. Lets say my client wanted to add new device UDID so that device can be used for testing the app. I then added the device UDID in developer.apple.com. Now how do I confirm that the new device is already added to the provisioning profile that is automatically managed by Xcode?
I'm not in possession of the physical device, only the UDID. I'm using Xcode 8.3
Once you added the UDID to Devices, you can go to your project's Provisioning Profile, then you can see the devices amount, if it is not correct, you can click Edit to select the device.
If you're distributing your project via adhoc, then as you already know, UDIDs of the devices that will need to install your project will need to be registered to the distribution provisioning profile on developer.apple.com.
Now how do I confirm that the new device is already added to the provisioning profile that is automatically managed by Xcode?
Go to your Xcode and to your Project's General settings. Check the Signing section and click on the Provisioning Profile i button. You will see the devices included in that provisioning profile.

Xcode 8.3 / Xcode 9.0 Refresh provisioning profile devices

I have added some new devices. How can I refresh the provisioning profile, as Xcode 8 automatically manages signing assets?
I have found this question: Refresh devices in team provisioning profile managed by Xcode 7? – but we can't do that in Xcode 8.3.
I don't have the device with me so I manually added it in the portal and also edited the provisioning profile but Xcode is not re-downloading it.
This is what you need to do:
Go to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/ and delete all the provisioning profiles from there.
Go to Xcode > Preferences > Accounts and select the Apple ID.
Click Download Manual Profiles or Download All Profiles. And it will download all the provisioning profiles again.
Remove the .mobileprovision file for the app this way :
The command in the terminal is : rm
Step 1. Click on desktop then from top menu Go > Go to Folders...
Step 2. Write/Paste following path and enter:
~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\Profiles
Step 3. Select Provisioning Profiles folder and delete all provisions profiles in it
Step 4. Go to xCode Preference > Accounts > Apple ID and then click on Download Manual Profiles button
First delete the provisioning profile from ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\Profiles/ , then edit provisioning profile from developer portal and select all devices while editing Provisioning profile. Then download this profile and open in your Xcode.
To add devices to your provisioning profile in Xcode 8 with automatic code signing, you simply need to build to the device in Xcode. Xcode will add the device's UDID and regenerate the provisioning profile automatically. If you don't have physical access to the device, I don't think there is a way to add it to your provisioning profile without going back to manually managing your devices and profiles.

Provisioning profile issue in Xcode 7.1.1?

Earlier I was using Xcode 7 it used to show me the provisioning profile for the IPA file which I selected under build settings. But now after update to 7.1.1 whenever I make IPA file then it always show me iOS Team provisioning under provisioning profile section even I have selected the correct provisioning profile.
See screenshot:
Please tell me how to resolve the issue.
Edit:
In iOS Team Provisioning profile all the UDIDs are added which were previously added by me on developer account.
In developer.apple.com:
Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Provisioning Profiles
Delete any provisioning profiles that are no longer needed.
Pay careful attention to those that match your app's bundle ID, for example, com.yourdomain.yourappname.
Make sure you have at most one provisioning profile for Development and at most one provisioning profile for Distribution.
Download each provisioning profile and double-click on it in Finder so that it gets installed.
In Xcode:
Go to Your Target > Build Settings > Code Signing
Set all values to be iOS Developer.
Go to Your Target > Build Settings > Provisioning Profile
Set all values to be Automatic.
In Xcode:
To test the changes, create an archive using Product > Archive.
After the archive is built, open the Window > Organizer and Export the archive.
Choose Developer Deployment.
Choose your team.
The provisioning profile display should now be correct for your app in the Summary window, the one that you have shown in your question.
Please follow the steps.
1.Open Xcode
2. then goto Xcode section
3. Select Preferences
4. Account
5. Select your account details
6. Click View Detail
7 .Sync details.

Refresh Team Provisioning Profile After Adding Devices For Distributing Archived Beta

I have been having an issue wherein I add a device to the developer center, and it doesn't appear to be added to the provisioning profile for some time. Then, there's no guarantee that the team provisioning profile is downloaded when I archive a build to distribute it to my beta testers (usually via TestFlight).
How can you forcibly update the provisioning profile so that all devices are included?
XCode > Preferences > Account
At the right side ou will find a list of all your teams.. double click the desired one
You will see a list of signing identities and provisioning profiles..
Theres is a refresh button =) BOTTOM LEFT side =)
