It used to be that hitting the refresh arrow/loop button in preferences -> account would pull down a new provisioning profile with all ur new devices.
Now it just downloads the ones you already have. But if the one you need updated is managed by Xcode, theres's no way I can find to add a device to it!
After adding the UDID in the member center I had the same issue. I have to say that I have a XCode managed iOS team development profile.
eventually what's worked is deleting the provisioning profile from the member center.
in xcode preferences, delete the team provisioning profile for the relevant app
go to your target, you'll see a "Fix Issue" button. click it, it will generate a new provisioning profile with the relevant devices.
Hope it helps.
Here's what worked for me on Xcode 8 & 9.
My account on developer.apple.com was not showing any Xcode managed profiles so this was the only way to make it work.
I also had this problem. I am using Xcode 7.2. Then its worked with following steps:
Now you can run the app in your new device.
Spent a lot of time trying to fix the same issue on Xcode 7 i.e. refreshing the Xcode managed provisioning profiles.
After adding the UDID in the member center, what worked for me was just removing the account from preferences -> account and adding it back again. It updated all the provisioning profiles.
Problem: Some time update devices in developer account, causes sometime not able reflect on our automatic management signing even update provisioning profile in xcode account.
Solution: find provisioning profile folder and delete all provisioning. ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
Automatic management signing will create new one. your devices will update in provisioning.
With Xcode 8 you don’t need to add the device in the “Member Center” anymore and you can skip some annoying steps.
What you still have to do are the following steps:
,).I also couldn't find a way to delete or refresh the provisioning profile in Xcode.
I managed to pull the provisioning profile with the new devices by quitting Xcode, deleting the Development provisioning profiles - the ones marked "Active (Managed by Xcode)" - on the Apple Developer site, then reopening Xcode and choosing the team in General settings for the app target. Xcode recreated the profiles (as confirmed on the developer site) and the device was included.
I had a similiar problem and found the following - add a file called build.json in your root (same level as config.xml) with the following contents - replace the developmentTeam value with your Team Id as seen here https://developer.apple.com/account/#/membership/
{
"ios": {
"debug": {
"codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
"developmentTeam": "DP7KW42777",
"packageType": "development"
},
"release": {
"codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
"developmentTeam": "DP7KW42777",
"packageType": "app-store"
}
}
}
I also found that by adding the following in config.xml under
<platform name="ios">
there was no need anymore to set various Info settings, for example hiding the status bar
<config-file parent="NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires bluetooth access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSCalendarsUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires calendar access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSCameraUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires camera access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSContactsUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires contacts access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} would like to check your location when app is active or in background</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} would like to check your location when app is active or in background</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} would like to check your location when app is active or in background</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSMicrophoneUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires microphone access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSMotionUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires motion detection access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires photo library access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSRemindersUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} equires reminders access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="UIStatusBarHidden" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<true/>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<false/>
</config-file>
and finally, by adding
<icon height="1024" src="resources/ios/icon/AppIcon.png" width="1024" />
to the icons list, I no longer needed to manually add the 1024 icon. So now all I do is build, archive and upload without having to change any settings. Hope this helps.
In my case nothing listed above helped on Xcode 8.
Here are the steps I tried, which eventually worked to allow Xcode to fix the problem by once again showing me the Register Device button:
Sidenote: In my case I think the problem was that my login expired (Xcode told me this in Preferences > Accounts). But even after clicking on Sign In Again nothing worked. I think maybe all I had to do to refresh it was sign in again and restart Xcode for the Register Device(s) button to show.
