Problems with certificates, provisioning profiles, and bundle ids. iOS development

I have had many problems with certificates, provisioning profiles and bundle ids in the past and here is the latest.

When trying to run my App on an iOS device I get the following error:

Your application failed code-signing checks. Check your certificates, provisioning profiles, and bundle ids. Probably your device is not part of the selected provisioning profile (error: 0xe8008015).

I am aware of the following questions that touch similar topics but I seem to have perhaps a combination of them with something else:

Invalid Provisioning Profile- Missing Code-Signing Certificate

Xcode fails with “Code Signing” Error

why does xamarin suddenly not let me deploy to iOS devices

iOS 8, How to use device for development?

In the past the following things fixed a similar type of error message, however, this time the error at most changed slightly:

  1. Go to Apple Member center and check that the device I am using is listed under "iOS devices" enter image description here
  2. Go to "Provisioning Profile" -> "Development" and check the profile is active enter image description here

3.Check the device is listed in the provisioning profile. Re-download the provisioning profile.

4.Clean and build the solution a lot.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am using a macbook air running OSX 10.9.5 and iPad with iOS 8.2. Xamarin version 5.7.2 Xcode version 6.01

As I was typing the last line of my question it occurred to me that I should check if my Xcode is up to date: It wasn't!

Solution:

  1. Updated Xcode to the latest version (i.e. 6.2). In the update details it says: "Adds support for iOS 8.2 and WatchKit to create apps...".

While Xcode was updating I also did the following:

  1. Correct a spelling mistake in my bundle identifier (To be EXACTLY the same as in my provisioning profile).
  2. In Apple member center I had the possibility to update the list of devices. This is since I renewed my licence not long ago and it gave me the option to reset my previous list. I just followed the instructions and left exactly the same devices as I had previously.
  3. After X-code updated I cleaned the solution and DONE.

I had few things going on so perhaps this won't be really useful to anyone but who knows... I hope this helps
