Xcode 7: App installation failed: A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found

Question

I have already searched and almost implemented max solution but it's not installing any app even though if I am creating just sample single view app.

App installation failed
A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.

Answer 1

============== update ====================
I fixed this issue today.
First, go to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles. Make sure Xcode isn't running. Then, delete all provisioning files (like xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.mobileprovision).
Start Xcode.
You will see something like "Fix this issue" in your Target's General tab. Click it.
Xcode will now load new provisioning profile.
That's it.

I have same problem now.
I've checked my provisioning profile using https://github.com/chockenberry/Provisioning/releases.
In my case, my provisioning profile had the wrong UDIDs but right machine count.
I've registered machines, and Apple Developer Center listed right UDIDs for those machines.
However, whenever I downloaded new provisioning profile, it contained wrong UDIDs.
I think Apple's system is outputting wrong provisioning profile.
I called Apple support for this issue today, but Apple only emailed me with their knowledge base links(forums,documents,etc).

Answer 2

Possibly you are using App Store distribution provisioning profile. Use development or Ad-Hoc provisioning profile.

Answer 3

For Xcode 8 / Swift 3.0 In my case, for my app target and my extension in "General" I check "Automatically manage signing" and it work

Answer 4

I was having this issue because the date/time on my iPhone was not the same as that on my Mac running Xcode ( i changed the date on my iPhone while testing some app). On my iPhone, i went to Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically

This fixed it

Answer 5

Make sure you have added device UDID in your provisioning profile.

• Go to provisioning portal.
• Edit provisioning profile.
• Make sure device is checked.
• Done, download
• Use new Profile

Another possible reason: Device date is set to later than the expiry of you provisioning profile.This is very weird but, it could happen.

Answer 6

In my case it was that the running option in the building scheme was set to Release so it was trying to sign it using the appstore provisional profile not the development or the adhoc one. I had to set it to Debug to fix this!

Answer 7

I could run on Simulator just fine, but trying to install the App on device was throwing this exact error.

I had a test target in addition to the main target. The test target had signing set to a different team and profile. Setting the unit test target to match the main target settings for signing solved my issue.

Didn't notice it had been automatically changed over to a different team, was caused by being added to a new Enterprise team.

Answer 8

In my case, I went to the Apple Developer website and added the phone to the Provisioning Profile. Then I re-downloaded the Provisioning Profile and worked =)

Answer 9

In my case was The build system. I had to change the default build system in "File > Project / Workspace Settings" and change it to the Legacy Build system.

Answer 10

For me, it's because the project I was trying to build is someone else's. The bundle identifier does not match with my team's provisioning profile.

Change bundle identifier to something else help.

Answer 11

In my case, my certificate is overdue..

Answer 12

The following worked for me:

1. Install the app using Personal provision profile (re-install after going into your phone settings and trusting the profile)
2. Delete the app from ypur phone
3. Switch back to registered developer profile and try again

Answer 13

In my case iOS 14.4, rebooting the iPhone solved it.
