Xcode5 “No matching provisioning profiles found is

Question

Everything is OK on Xcode4.6. When I try to use Xcode5 dp6 to run app on devices. I got an error of "No matching provisioning profiles found issue". How can I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

Sometimes, especially after generating a new certificate or starting to use a new code signing identity, there seems to be no other way to fix this, other than doing some cleaning the .pbxproj file. This is probably a bug that will be fixed, so if you are reading this long after this post, maybe you should try some other solution.

There is an excellent post about this in the pixeldock blog: http://www.pixeldock.com/blog/code-sign-error-provisioning-profile-cant-be-found/

In short, mostly quoting from that article, you need to:

1. Make sure you have fetched all your remote iTunes Connect certificates in xcode5 from Preferences, Accounts, (select your account), View Details, press refresh button. (Normally, I answer no when xcode asks if I want to create certficate signing requests, it's not necessary when you only want to download/refresh your certificates)
2. Close Xcode
3. Right click on your project’s .xcodeproj bundle to show it’s contents.
4. Open the .pbxproj file in a text editor of your choice (make a backup copy first if you feel paranoid)
5. Find all lines in that file that include the word PROVISIONING_PROFILE and delete them.
6. Open Xcode
7. Enter your target and select the provisioning profile that you want to use.
8. Build your project

Good luck!

All of drop down lists disappeared in Build Settings after running the Fix Issue in Xcode 5. Spent several days trying to figure out what was wrong with my provisioning profiles and code signing. Found a link Xcode 4 missing drop down lists in Build Settings and sure enough I needed to re-enabled "Show Values" under the Editor menu. Hopefully this helps anyone else in this predicament.

Also, I had to clear my derived data, clean the solution and quit and reopen Xcode into for the code signing identities to correctly appear. My distribution provisioning profiles where showing up as signed by my developer certificate which was incorrect.

Don't forget to change profile in Provision Profile sections:

Ideally you should see Automatic in Code Signing Identity after you choose provision profile you need. If you don't see any option that's mean you don't have private key for current provision profile.

Answer 4

In my case the "Fix Issue" button triggers a spinner for about 20 seconds and fixes nothing.

This works for me (iOS 7 iPhone 5, Xcode 5):

Xcode > Window > Organizer > Devices

Find the connected device(with a green dot) on the left pane. Select "Provisioning Profiles" On the right pane, there is a line with warning. Delete this line.

Now go back to click the "Fix Issue" button and everything is fine - the app runs in the device as expected.

Answer 5

Here's a simpler solution that worked for me:

In XCode5, double-click on your app's target. This brings up the Info pane for the target. In the "Build Settings" section, check the "code signing" section for any old profiles and replace with the correct one. update the value of "code signing identity" and "provisioning profile"

Answer 6

In xcode5 from Preferences, Accounts, (select your account), View Details, press refresh button. then select Provision Profile in build settings.
