How to remove provisioning profiles from Xcode

Question

Does anyone know how to remove previously installed provisioning profiles from Xcode?

I have seen this link, but I am not able to find that location in my system.

So I think there must be some other way to remove provisioning profiles.

Answer 1

It's simple, go to this folder:

~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/

Open finder on your mac, and click on Go -> Go to Folder ... Just paste this into the search bar and hit Open. It will show the list of provisioning profiles present in Xcode. Delete all provisioning profiles.

Answer 2

Update for Xcode 8.3

This no longer works in Xcode 8.3. It appears to be related to Apple's move to automate provisioning profile and certificate generation:

The simplest "solution" (or workaround) is to make sure Xcode is closed, then via Terminal:

rm ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/*.mobileprovision  

---

In Xcode 7 & 8:

1. Open Preferences > Accounts

2. Select your apple ID from the list

3. On the right-hand side, select the team your provisioning profile belongs to

4. Click View Details

5. Under Provisioning Profiles, right-click the one you want to delete and select Move to Trash:

   

Answer 3

In Xcode 6, you can do this mostly right in Xcode:

1. Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts.
2. Choose your Apple ID in the left column.
3. In the right pane, click the "View Details..." button.
4. Right-click on the provisioning profile you want to delete, then click "Show Details".
5. A Finder window will open up with the provisioning profile highlighted.
6. Delete the selected provisioning profile.

Answer 4

1. Open Terminal
2. cd ~/Library/MobileDevice/
3. open ./

Now the finder window will be open with Provisioning Profiles folder. Delete all or any provisioning profiles from here and it will reflect in Xcode.

Answer 9

I was able to delete my Provisioning Profile from XCode 6 by using the Member Center online. I then just did a refresh/Sync in XCode 6 and it disappeared.

In the Apple Developer Member Center I had to do two things to make it happen:

• Under under Identifiers -> AP IDs I had to first delete the old AP ID still using the old Provisioning Profile that I wanted to delete.
  • This step was crucial for me. If I just deleted the Provisioning Profile alone without the APP ID still using it, the Profile re-appeared in XCode after a Sync.
• Under Provisioning Profiles I then deleted the unwanted provisioning profile.

In XCode:

• Under Preferences > Accounts, clicking on my apple ID and View Details... I Sync'd my online provisioning profiles.
• The Provisioning Profile removed itself from the list.

For XCode 9.3, the following steps worked for me.

1. Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
2. Under the login option on the left panel, find Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority. Double click to get the options under it.
3. Under the Trust option, change the When using this certificate option to Always trust .
4. Exit the keychain access window, quit Xcode and restart Xcode. Rebuild the application. It should work now.

Answer 12

Provisioning profiles are stored under settings > accounts. Just press the "View details..." for the developer account you want and the provisioning profiles will be listed there.

Answer 13

Post deleting and adding your new profile, you can verify if the profile is active and been take by your project by running below command.

grep -i "yourproject" *.mobileprovision

Answer 14

Go to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles
Delete the profile you wish ...

Answer 15

I have found all my Distribution Profiles here:

username -> libraries -> MobileDevice -> Provisioning Profiles

Here I can check all profiles and kill expired.

Answer 16

I found out how to find provisioning profiles in Xcode 8. Archive your project (Product -> Archive) and then hit the validate button. Xcode will prepare the binary and the entitlements. When the summary windows comes up just hit the little arrow at the right of the window. A finder window will open with all your downloaded profiles.enter image description here

Answer 17

With Xcode 9.3, this seems to be resolved by cleaning the project, quitting and restarting Xcode, and, after the restart, cleaning the build folder (hold Option and select Product->Clean Build Folder).

During the restart I happened to have the Xcode signing-info panel open on the Project navigator and saw a transient message that Xcode was rebuilding the signing profile. Upon trying to run my project on a device, I got a runtime exception due to a Swift framework file having an invalid signature. The second "Clean Build Folder" cleared that up and all works fine now.

Answer 18

In xcode 6, provisioning profiles are stored under Xcode > Preferences > accounts. Press "View details". On selecting your profile, you will get option to revoke it under settings(gear) icon below.
