I started using XCode 5 today and found when trying to archive a project for ad-hoc distribution that the provisioning profiles I was presented with did not include one I had recently created, but did include one that I had deleted. I checked the list of profiles in my Organizer for that device, and that list was OK and included the recent one that I had downloaded.
So my question is, what's going on here. Where's my profiles?
I found the answer by following a clue here on this site on a related subject. You have to go into XCode | Preferences | Accounts | View Details. There you will see the (old) list. Hit the refresh button. That will download an updated list.
Now when I go to distribute my archive ad-hoc, I get the refreshed list of profiles.
I found out that downloading and manually adding it by double clicking works fine as well. Don't have to wait all day ;-)
The answer by millport sorted things out for me. What you need to do also though is to choose the profile you're working with and before downloading chooose 'edit' and choose to include those of your registered devices that you want to use as new added devices are not automatically included in your profiles

I've struggling with this for hours. I have 2 same provisioning profiles I've created and the new profile didn't substitute the old one (which expires 6 days earlier than the new one). Through the XCode 5 menu I can't seem to delete the duplicate provisioning profile. Any workaround in this situation?
If you delete the profile from the Apple development a/c and hit refresh in XCode (Using xcode>Preferences>Accounts) then these profiles will be gone.
You can remove them from the this directory on your machine:
"~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles"
In the Xcode Preferences, go to Accounts, then go to your apple ID, then click "View Details"
Click the provisioning profile which you would like to delete, then press the "delete" key ONCE. Then click the refresh icon for manually update the list(pretty counterintuitive...).
Using this method I was able to delete all but one copy of the same provisioning profile, after which the delete does nothing.
You probably don't need to delete the duplicate profiles. Just go to
Xcode / Preferences / Accounts / / View Details
and hit the refresh button.
I did this and my duplicate provisioning profiles disappeared. Now when I post builds to TestFlight the distribution lists are all correct.
In the Xcode Preferences--> Accounts, delete your account, add account again,click on your developer ID, press refresh, select provisioning profile again under build settings.
THATS IT. ALL YOUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED
I am using "iPhone configuration utility for Mac OS x" provided by apple for managing my all provisioning profiles for Xcode 5.
From apple's website:
iPhone Configuration Utility lets you easily create, maintain, encrypt, and install configuration profiles, track and install provisioning profiles and authorized applications, and capture device information including console logs.
You can download it from here
You can delete the provisioning profile:
Open the utility and select the provisioning profile from the list.
From the top menu select "Edit" than "Delete"
To remove any reference to an unwanted provisioning profile from XCODE 5 here is what I did:
1) Browse into the YOURAPP.xcodeproj directory
2) With vi I opened up the project.pbxproj file
3) Find PROVISIONING_PROFILE="ID_OF_THE_PROV_PROFILE_YOU_WANT_TO_DELETE"
In every instance I saw this in the file I just set it to "" and XCODE never gave me an error again.
All of the methods mentioned so far will still fail to delete certain "Managed by Xcode" profiles, which you may find will continually re-appear no matter what you do to delete them.
The problem seems to be that certain profiles are auto-generated by Xcode/Apple Developer Centre based on the App Ids you have. In my case I see one "Developer" profile per app ID (including the wildcard).
I would imagine that the only way to get rid of these is to remove the App Id itself through the Dev Centre. Often this is not possible since the Dev Centre will complain that the app "...exists in the App Store so it cannot be removed" - even when the app in question is not actually in the store.
None of the previous suggestions worked for me. What did finally eliminate the unwanted profiles was the following:
Remove the developer account from Xcode > Accounts
Quit Xcode.
Delete the unwanted provisioning profiles in the developer portal.
Delete all the files ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DeveloperPortal*.*
Empty the trash.
Restart Xcode and add the developer account back in.
I was thrashing around so this might not be quite the magic formula but something along those lines. By design, Xcode automatically creates provisioning profiles based on the app identifiers set up in the developer portal with names like "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: ". This is a great feature but it adds to the confusion with this deletion issue.
From my experimentation i believe that Xcode pulls the provisioning profiles straight from the dev center.
i say this because i created a new provisioning profile from the dev center and it appeared in Settings > Accounts before i double-clicked the .mobileprovision file.
So basically, delete the profiles from developer.apple.com
In my case this worked:
Right click on a provisioning profile in the accounts tab -> view details panel.
Click the option show in finder -> delete them directly in finder.
For all the people who are seeing the profiles magically reappear after deleting them and hitting refresh, simply wait a few minutes after deleting and before hitting the refresh button.
For deleting provisioning profile we can use iPhone Configuration Utility software.
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 button. So it will remove it from your existing Xcode application and even from your PC.
I've figured out that it takes some time interval to sync between local path of the provisioning(~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DeveloperPortal) and the iTunesConnect server. So once you have deleted your provisioning profile on the local path and on the iTunesConnect server (you should remove both for clearing), you need to wait at least 5 minutes, otherwise you will see the files you've deleted again on the local path when you try to press 'fix it' button in Xcode.
This stuff still confuses me. I added a device to my Ad Hoc profile in the developer portal, downloaded and double clicked the downloaded file. Nothing appeared to hapopen so I went into the Organizer in xCode 5, selected Editor->Provisioning Profiles->Import Profile.
Now when I build my ipa for distribution the profile is listed twice. I picked the first one in the list and discovered that it did not have the new device, so I redid the build, picked the second one and it worked as expected.
I do not understand exactly why I have gotten myself into this situation nor how to remove the old profile.
Here is what my code signing in xcode looks like. Should I delete and start over. If so which ones do I delete?
Thanks,
John
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.
I know this has been asked and answered multiple times but I'm tearing my hair out as none of the proposed solutions appears to work.
I receive the above error, despite having a valid provisioning profile which, as far as I can tell matches the bundle identifier:
I've followed the steps in various suggested solutions on this site, including deleting all existing certificates and starting again, as suggested here and here.
One thing I have noticed is that the profile doesn't show up in the code signing lists, either for target or project.
Can anyone offer any further suggestions?
This happened to me yesterday. What happened was that when I added the device Xcode included it in the wrong profile by default. This is easier to fix now that Apple has updated the provisioning portal:
Log in to developer.apple.com/ios and click Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
Click devices and make sure that the device in question is listed
Click provisioning profiles > All and select the one you want to use
Click the edit button
You will see another devices list which also has a label which will probably say "3 of 4 devices selected" or something of that nature.
Check the select all box or scroll through the list and check the device. If your device was unchecked, this is your problem.
Click "Generate"
DON'T hit Download & Install – while this will work it's likely to screw up your project file if you've already installed the provisioning profile (see this question for more info).
Open Xcode, open the Organizer, switch to the Devices tab, and hit the Refresh button in the lower right corner. This will pull in the changes to the provisioning profile.
Now it should work.
If none of above stated works then check for your device date, make sure your device date doesn't exceed profile expiry date i.e. not set to far future.
+1 to banging my head against the wall for a day or two...
Also check this setting:
Build Settings -> Code Signing -> Provisioning Profile
After following the above steps, "Automatic" setting worked for me. ~kjm~
File > Workspace Settings > Set Build system to "Legacy Build System"
Xcode5 has broken this again (congratulations to Apple for failing to bother testing one of their buggiest bits of code. Again).
A new way to break/fix it:
If you have:
An old profile on your device (team profile, or non-team profile)
A new profile generated automatically on the App Store, by any copy of Xcode5, even if it's simply an update to the profile you already had
(NB: if any colleague adds themself to the profile, this triggers the above "change")
You use the new "Accounts" dialog to download profiles (NB: this is now REQUIRED by Apple for various situations - all other approaches, including manual download, appear to be unsupported. Even though the Apple Developer site TELLS YOU TO MANUALLY DOWNLOAD! Don't do it! It breaks Xcode5!)
Xcode5 will INCORRECTLY hide AND RENAME that profile in the drop-down selector in Build Settings
(I detest this drop-down. Some idiot at Apple keeps removing information from it, and someone else keeps adding it back, it flip-flops between Xcode point releases. WHY??!?!)
There is NO WAY you can select the correct profile - whatever you select, Xcode5 will use the wrong one
The solution is easy enough. The "Apple engineering are lazy" solution:
Go to Xcode5 -> Window -> Organizer -> Devices
Select your device
Select provisioning profiles
Delete everything relating to your current project and/or Team (even other projects, if necessary - they can all be downloaded later if still needed!)
Re-build.
You should get an error from Xcode5 that the profile doesn't exist. Even though you manually had seleted the profile that was ALREADY PRESENT on your machine (yep - that dropdown is buggy again. It lies about the profile it selects behind the scenes!)
In the profile selector, select the "real" profile
Build, run - success!
It happened to me when I accidentally left the build in release mode.
This can happen if your provisioning profile has expired. Another reason could be that you device date exceeds the expiry date of your provisioning profile. Please make sure that your device date is correct.
After spending the day I realized it was a simple change in Project Settings
File -> Project Settings... -> Build System -> Legacy Build System.
In a project setting, you will see Build System named drop down and in that drop down select Legacy Build System
Delete all certificates from the keychain of the account which you are trying to use provisioning profile
Delete Derived data
Clean the folder(cmd+sht+alt+k)
Clean the project(cmd+sht+k)
Build & Run
In my case it was just after a new Program Licence Agreement was released so we had to accept them and it was fine.
I had this error because I was testing my app to perform a certain action in the future. In other words, I had a different time on my test device, therefore, the certificate would not allow me to build.
Apparently, my certificate expires in a few days...
In my case, it was the problem when I setup my time manually two month earlier on my iPhone. But when I changed to set time automatically, it worked fine.
Setting -> General -> Date & Time -> set time automatically
If it does not work then set time automatically of both mac & iPhone, it may work fine.
I have spent about a week solving this problem. Most of the answers are sort of magic (no logical purposes for these algorithms) and they were not useful for me. I found this error in Xcode console:
ERROR ITMS-90174: "Missing Provisioning Profile - iOS Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision."
And found this answer solving this issue. The case is to switch Xcode Build system to the Legacy one.
I was deploying my Ionic app.
After wasting my half day I got this working.
Select Target > Edit Scheme > Select Run > Change Build Configuration to debug
I'm still not sure what the issue was but deleting all certificates and starting over (albeit twice) eventually solved it.
My best guess is that I've missed some small but important detail of the procedure. Unfortunately I can't be any more specific than that.
Make sure you have added your device - https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/create
Go into iTunes and click on the serial number and it'll change to the UDID - then right click to Copy the UDID and register it as your device.
You can then add that device to your provisioning profile.
Sorry, I'm sure this question is quite basic, but from what I've read I'm doing it correctly and still not having any luck.
I have a project in XCode. It compiles correctly and I can install it ad-hoc on all the devices that were originally part of the provisioning profile I created when I first started the project.
I now have another UDID that I need to add so they can test. They live on the other side of the country, so I can't attach the device and add it through XCode.
So from my understanding, these are the steps I have taken:
Over at developer.apple.com, add the UDID to the device list.
Update the provisioning profile on the developer website to include the added UDID.
In XCode, open organizer, select provisioning profile and hit refresh.
Recompile.
Am I missing a step in there? It recompiles fine but apparently won't install on the added device.
EDIT: I found This Post, which sounds like what I want, but I can't find the checkbox for "Automatic Device Provisioning". Where is that located?
It seems that the "Automatic Device Provisioning" checkbox has been removed from later Xcode versions, check this question: The Automatic Device Provisioning options have gone since upgrading to Xcode 4.3.1?.
The steps you listed seem good. You could check if the new profile has been effectively inserted into the ipa file:
- rename the .ipa in .zip;
- navigate into Payload and then contents of the .app package;
- open the embedded.mobileprovision file with a text editor;
- search for the new UDID string inside the file.
All my apps that i've created so far do this. It does nothing to the app or being able to run it but it's just annoying always having that 1 warning.
I'm Using
Xcode 4.2
OSX 10.7.3
This is the actual warning:
-Target Integrity
Provisioning profile is expiring
Here's an image of it just so I don't have to try and explain. (Edited it and put 'Project' where my actual project name was for privacy)
Thanks for any help!
I had the same issue.
Worked out in the end it was Xcode warning about some expired profiles generally - not ones specifically linked to the current project.
To fix I went to Organizer/ Devices Tab and under Library select Provisioning Profiles
I had two profiles in the list that had expired - I didn't need them so I just right clicked and deleted them.
Warning then went away.
This is a bit different with Xcode 5 now when working with Teams ...
I go the same warning of an expiring old profile which didn't exist anymore - but it still did exist in the local Account setting for the connected team in Xcode (Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts -> <team account in question> -> View Details). So I just did a refresh on these profiles, and yes, the warning was gone.
Unfortunately there are many more expired profiles for other apps in this team account which I just synched into my local Account setting (and I can't just remove them, as it's a client's account ..) - and now Xcode complains about all of them being expired. Guess you should be happy with what you got sometimes, it can get worse ...
I got the same warning on my old project today.
I tried this, and the warning went away.
At 'Build Settings' -> 'Code Signing Identity', Choose 'Automatic Profile selector'.
For Xcode 6 you need to:
go to the Preferences (Cmd + ,)
Accounts
choose your account
choose your team
Click view details
Choose provisioning profile from warning
right click (show in Finder)
remove from Finder
Now the warning should disappear or you will need to repeat above steps for another warning
I deleted all the provisioning profile from
cd ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/
and it's gone.
You can use this shell script the get the names of the provisioning profiles
It is a warning that your provisioning profile is about to expire and you should renew it.
You can do this at Apple's developer center website. If your developer profile program is also about to expire, you should renew it too.
I had to also restart Xcode after deleting the old profiles to get the warnings to go away.
I have the similar problem, Xcode say one provisioning profile is expiring.
Then I go to the developer.apple.com to delete the expiring provisioning profile, it fixed.
Hope can help you.
I had this problem because a provisioning profile I used was signed with a certificate that was revoked/expired. First, go to the member center and delete expired and invalid provisioning profiles. Regenerate the ones you need. To clean up Xcode, go to Preferences-> Accounts, select your account.
Click view details.
Right click any profile -> Show in finder. Delete all of them. Then go back to XCode, close details and reopen (to refresh) and re-download the ones you need (there'll be a download button for each profile).
Warning gone. Xcode might complain about code signing issues, but clicking "Resolve" automatically clears this up.
Then everything worked.
