Provisioning Profiles menu item missing from Xcode

Question

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?

Answer 1

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: **

1. Xcode menu => Preferences => Accounts
2. Select the Apple ID in the left panel.
3. Click the View Details button on the right.
4. 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.
5. The provisioning profiles can then be selected in a Mac project under Build Settings => Code Signing => Provisioning Profile.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Provisioning files are located in:

/Users/${USER}/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/

Just remove the out-of-date files.

Answer 4

These settings have now moved to Preferences > Accounts:

Answer 5

Try this:

Xcode >> Preferences >> Accounts

Answer 6

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.
