Xcode 8 provisioning profile won't download

Question

I recently updated to Xcode 8 and as I click on "download" option next to provisioning profile in Xcode/Preferences/Accounts/View Details menu it changes to gray and does not download. After restarting Xcode the download button is again clickable and the problem persists. Manual download of provisioning profile and dropping on Xcode icon don't add the profile to specific developer account in Xcode 8. Anyone had this problem recently and solved it? I checked all questions related to new Xcode version, still no solution.

Answer 1

I was having this same issue. Here is what I did that solved the problem for me.

• First I right clicked on each of the two profiles that would "grey-non-download" and moved to trash.
• Then I deleted the developer account within Xcode.
• I re-added the developer account, went back to details and download all.

It worked for me, hope this helps.

Try deleting and adding your account if that doesn't work out

try

Open Terminal

Type defaults delete com.apple.Xcode and press "Enter." This deletes the customised settings set up.

Type rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode and press "Enter." This removes the configuration folders as well.

This saved my day if problem persists again reinstall Xcode
