How do you get to the XCode Provisioning Organizer?

In Xcode, select Organizer from the Window menu, and you will get a window that give you all sorts of information about your devices and provisioning profiles. Also, there is an application called iPhone Configuration Utility (on my computer, it is in the /Applications/Utilities folder), which has pretty much the same information as the Xcode Organizer window.
You need to connect up your device, and when you click on the device in the Organizer window, you can add and remove profiles.

From the menu: Window > Organizer. Then on the left, expand Development and choose Provisioning Profiles

MAC app : Unable to import Mac Distribution Profile in Organization

MAC app submission,
I am getting issue while installing MAC app distribution profile. I got following steps from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3141323 , but still unable to install it. Getting errors as follow :
Mac Provisioning Profile Details
Install your Mac Provisioning Profile on your system by:
Double-clicking on the file in Finder
Dragging the file to the Profiles Preference pane
Clicking the + button in the Profiles Preference pane
For Distribution Profile, I am getting error
Only Development Provisioning Profiles can be installed in System Preferences. Production Provisioning Profiles are imported within Xcode.
Add your Mac Provisioning Profile to the Xcode Organizer
Dragging the file into the Xcode Organizer window
Clicking the Import button in the Xcode Organizer window
Here, nothing is happending, profile is not getting installed, no error or anything.

Please provide some steps to install profile. Also if more detailed document to submit mac app on mac appstore.
I have the same problem and I can't find my Distribution Provisioning Profiles from Preferences > Accounts. But when I create a Development Provisioning Profile for testing, I found all of Distribution Provisioning Profiles appear in account detail. And I can sign my Mac app then.
I guess there maybe bug when Xcode retrieve Mac Provisioning Profiles when there is only Distribution Provisioning Profile. And create a Development Provisioning Profile fix the problem.
In XCode 13, a provisioning profile can be installed by dragging and dropping it onto Xcode's dock item.

Removing provisional profile with ios 8 and Xcode 6.0.1

I cannot seem to remove the provisional profiles on my device using iOS 8 General settings since the profile selection is gone. Xcode 6.0.1 also does not allow for removing provisional profiles. Anyone know how to remove provisional profiles on a device running iOS 8 and Xcode 6.0.1?
It´s a little bit hidden in Xcode 6:
Open Xcode and go to Window --> Devices via the menu bar
On the left pane right click on your device
Choose option "Show Provisioning Profiles ..."
Delete the installed Provisioning Profile via the "-" button
That´s it.
In Xcode:
Window menu —> Devices
Choose the desired device from left panel
On the bottom of the left pane there is a settings icon. Use it to select show provisioning profiles
In the list of all the provisioning profiles installed on your device(s), add or delete it.

Add device to auto-generated Xcode 5 provisioning profile

I have created a simple project with XCode 5.
When I have created the project, XCode automatically generate the provisioning profile for my app. (I see it on my provisioning portal).
But now I added and removed some devices from my device list.
Is there a way to add a devices to provisioning profile generated by Xcode 5.
Thanks
This is what worked for me:
Go to Apple development portal and add the device (UDID) as you normally do. Till now the UDID is not added to your provisioning profile.
In Xcode, go to project settings and select Add an Account from the Team dropdown.
A dialog will pop up. Just press Cancel. (if xCode automatically generated Profiles that means you'd already have the account setup. You don't need to add a new account)
Now from left side, select the Apple account this project belongs to.
Click View Details
Now just click the refresh button at the bottom left side of the window.
It will take some time to refresh, but when it finishes, the UDID will be added to your X-Code generated Provisioning Profile.
Right click on the on your device and select "Add Device to Member Center". That will add your device to your provisioning portal.
Per XCode 5, provisioning profiles are managed by XCode 5. You see this in your Developer account.
If you wish to develop, you should create a new profile by clicking [+] on the top right and selecting "iOS App Development". You can then select which device you would like to add to this profile. Later on, you can add additional devices.
Apparently from Xcode, profiles that are managed by Xcode can not be altered.
I deleted the provisioning profile from iOS Provisioning Profiles on developer.apple.com and then xCode automagically regenerated it with the new devices added.
Took a few "update please" in Preferences->Accounts->Provisioning Profiles in xCode before the change happened.

Provisioning Profiles menu item missing from Xcode 5

After spending a whole day installing a fresh copy of Mac OS X v10.8 (Mountain Lion), Xcode 5, fixing provisioning profiles, certificates, creating new ones, I finally managed to get my applications running on my iPad again. The problem is that in Xcode 5 I don't have a menu item for Library - Provisioning Profiles, and I don't know what could have happened. I restarted the computer, tried some things, but I really have no idea what I could do. How can I fix this problem?
These settings have now moved to Preferences > Accounts:
If you like to manually manage your profiles (mostly to clean up):
Open Windows/Devices in Xcode 6
Select your device
Show Provisioning Profiles:
You'll get + and - buttons to add/remove profiles:
No longer supported ... you can also download Apple's iPhone Configuration Utility 3.5 for Mac OS X, it still has "Provisioning Profiles" and works with Xcode 5 -- it's now gone from Apples site but you can find an alternative download link in #suda's comment.
Provisioning files are located in:
/Users/${USER}/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
Just remove the out-of-date files.
Xcode 5 lost my Mac Provisioning Profile while the one for iOS was present. The tips elsewhere helped solve the problem; this is what I did, because I noticed the lists were too short and did not include *Mac Team Provisioning Profile: **
Xcode menu => Preferences => Accounts
Select the Apple ID in the left panel.
Click the View Details button on the right.
In the pop-over that follows click the round refresh arrow. The lists will refresh after the download from the Member Center finishes. This can take a few minutes.
The provisioning profiles can then be selected in a Mac project under Build Settings => Code Signing => Provisioning Profile.
Try this:
Xcode >> Preferences >> Accounts
You can add account in the preference -> Accounts setting.
It seems that you already configure xCode4, then I think you can select your
certificates for compiling in project-> Building Setting directly since your
certificates are already in your keychain.
After searching a few times in google, i found one software for provisioning profiles.
Install this iPhone configuration utility software and manage your all provisioning profiles in MAC.
Stupid as it may sound but all "Provisioning Profiles" re-appear under "Organizer - Devices" once you connect a real device.
For me, the refresh in xcode 5 prefs->accounts was doing nothing. At one point it showed me three profiles so I thought I was one refresh away, but after the next refresh it went back to just one profile, so I abandoned this method.
If anyone gets this far and is still struggling, here's what I did:
Close xcode 5
Open xcode 4.6.2
Go to Window->Organizer->Provisioning Profiles
Press Refresh arrow on bottom right
When I did this, everything synced up perfectly. It even told me what it was downloading each step of the way like good software does. After the sync completed, I closed xcode 4.6.2, re-opened xcode 5 and went to preferences->accounts and voila, all of my profiles are now available in xocde 5.

Browse the files created on a device by the iOS application I'm developing, on workstation?

I'm developing an IOS app that creates files on the device, e.g. with NSKeyedArchiver.
During Android development it's possible to browse a device filesystem when it's connected to your workstation via USB, for instance to help with troubleshooting your app.
However for IOS I don't see anything similar under the Organizer in Xcode, to help me browse files my app creates from the workstation. Googling "iOO browse device files", "iPhone view files" etc. reveals solutions for jailbroken devices but not for regular devices provisioned for development.
How can I browse files on a device created by an iOS app I'm developing?
In Xcode's Organiser, go to your device's Summary tab. Find your application in the list, and click the disclosure triangle. Under it, you should see an icon saying "Application Data". Click the down pointing arrow to download the data, and it'll prompt you for somewhere to save it.
In Xcode 5, listed under your device in Organizer, click on "Applications" and you can see "Data files in Sandbox" in the bottom half of the window.
In Xcode 6, go to Window -> Devices, select the device, select the app name under Installed Apps, click the settings gearbox, then select Download container.... In finder, double finger tap the package and select Show package contents.
In Xcode 6, open the Devices window:
Then, select the app (in Installed Apps) and then click the gear icon and select Download Container.
Pls note, that you can view contents of downloaded .xcappdata container by right click on it and select "Show Package Contents"
iExplorer works like a charm! Just used it to export some app files! http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/download-ie3-mac.php
In Xcode9: / Window / Devices and Simulators
Select the desired installed app, click the gear at the bottom and Download container...
In Finder, "right-click" the downloaded file and Show Package Contents to open it in a new Finder window.
I hope it's useful. Peace.
XCode version : 10.2.1
goto window -> Devices and Simulators
and after that choose your device from the left list, choose the app from the installed app, so you can press show container for show app's contains on the new page on xcode, press download container to download it to your OSX, also you can replace an old container to the moment state with Replace container...
