ios - Xcode 7.2 no matching provisioning profiles found

Question

Before upgrading Xcode to 7.2, I was using Xcode 7.1.1 to build and distribute apps. I have upgraded to Xcode 7.2 and none of my provisioning profiles (matched to that particular app's bundle ID) match my installed certificates that were working in Xcode 7.1.1.

I only get:

Your build settings specify a provisioning profile with the UUID “some_number”, however, no such provisioning profile was found.

I have tried regenerating a .certSigningRequest to generate a new Certificate and Profile and made sure the Team in the General tab of the target is correct. Whenever I select a Provision Profile, all of my Code Signing Identities appear in the Identities in Keychain, but none of them will pair correctly.

It seems setting the Provision Profile to Automatic and the Code Signing Identity to iOS Developer will resolve this error, but the advantage of managing my Provisioning Profiles is gone as I believe Xcode then manages these.

Any thoughts on why setting my Provisioning Profiles and Code Signing Identities to anything but Automatic and iOS Developer produces this error?

Answer 1

I also had some problems after updating Xcode.

I fixed it by opening Xcode Preferences (⌘+,), going to Accounts → View Details. Then select all provisioning profiles and delete them with backspace (note: they can't be removed in Xcode 7.2). Restart Xcode, else the list doesn't seem to update properly.

Now click the Download all button, and you should have all provisioning profiles that you defined in the Member center back in Xcode. Don't worry about the Xcode-generated ones (Prefixed with XC:), Xcode will regenerate them if necessary. Restart Xcode again.

Now go to the Code Signing section in your Build Settings and select the correct profile and cert.

Why this happens at all? No idea... I gave up on understanding Apple's policies regarding app signing.

Try restarting XCode first, before trying these other answers. I was about to follow the advice given in other answers, then noticed multiple people saying that restarting XCode was necessary after all the steps. All I did was restart XCode and it fixed the problem. Who knows if it'll fix the problem for you, but it's worth a shot before trying the other solutions. I'm on XCode 7.2.1.

Answer 3

Keep quitting Xcode until the damn thing works.

Answer 4

I've also the same problem, in Xcode 7.2

It solved by followings steps:-

1) Open Xcode preference,

2) Select the appropriate team,

3) Click the "View Details..".

4) In section "Signing Identities": click on "Reset" for each of them.

5) In section "Provisioning Profiles". Click on "Download All".

6) Click on "Done."

7) Go in Xcode, build settings, select it. In General tab, the issues should get removed.

8) Restart the Xcode.

9) Do the Final build.

That's all.

Answer 5

Download https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer and add it to Keychain access > certificates (which expires on 2023)

Answer 6

Also after I did all of suggested steps (btw, for some reasons backspace not remove provision profile) error keeping occurring. Until I finally figured out to Restart Xcode. Probably, it should be first step when you're dealing with Xcode :)

Answer 7

Using Xcode 7.3, I spent way too much time trying to figure this out -- none of the answers here or elsewhere did the trick -- and ultimately stumbled into a ridiculously easy solution.

1. In the Xcode preferences team settings, delete all provisioning profiles as mentioned in several other answers. I do this with right click, "Show in Finder," Command+A, delete -- it seems these details have changed over different Xcode versions.
2. Do not re-download any profiles. Instead, exit your preferences and rebuild your project (I built it for my connected iPhone). A little while into the build sequence there will be an alert informing you no provisioning profiles were found, and it will ask if you want this to be fixed automatically. Choose to fix it automatically.
3. After Xcode does some stuff, you will magically have a new provisioning profile providing what your app needs. I have since uploaded my app for TestFlight and it works great.

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 8

Check your Keychain - look in Login and System keychains for expired certificates or error messages.

I found certs with "this certificate has an invalid user" error messages, and an expired Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate.

Delete them and install the new AWDRC certificate from https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer

Then follow the accepted answer to get Xcode to use the new certificates.

Answer 9

For me I tried following 2 steps which sadly did not work :

• deleting all provisional profile from Xcode Preferences Accounts → View Details , downloading freshly all provisional profiles.
• Restarting Xcode everytime.

---

Instead, I tried to solve keychain certificate related another issue given here This certificate has an invalid issuer Apple Push Services

This certificate has an invalid issuer

• In keychain access, go to View -> Show Expired Certificates.
• Look for expired certificates in Login and System keychains and an "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority".
• Delete all expired certificates.
• After deleting expired certificates, visit the following URL and download the new AppleWWDRCA certificate, https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer
• Double click on the newly downloaded certificate, and install it in your keychain. Can see certificate valid message.

Now go to xcode app. target → Build Setting → Provisioning Profile . Select value from 'automatic' to appropriate Provisioning profile . Bingo!!! profile mismatch issue is solved.

Answer 10

In my case, the problem was that the Archive was being built with a different TEAM-ID than the one who generated the Provisioning Profile (Me). Therefore I Got the error:

"No matching provisioning profile found: Your build settings specify a provisioning profile with the UUID, however, no such provisioning profile was found."

To Solve this:

• Clean and Re-Download your Provisioning profiles from Settings
• Re-Start Xcode

• in the GENERAL Tab of the Project properties, got to TEAM:

• Change the current team to the Same team but the one under the ACCOUNT you generated the provisioning profile with.

• Clean & Build

• Viola!

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 11

I updated to Xcode v7.3.1 and it solved the issue.

Answer 12

With Xcode 7.2.1, if you are certain that your provisioning profile is correct (it has the correct App ID and certificate, and the corresponding certificate exists in your Keychain Access) then set the Code Signing Identity and set the Provisioning Profile to Automatic.

Answer 13

What I did was: created a new provisioning profile and used it. When setup the provisioning profile in the build setting tab, there were the wrong provisioning profile numbers (like "983ff..." as the error message mentioned, that's it!). Corrected to the new provisioning profile, then Xcode 7.2 refreshed itself, and build successfully.

Answer 14

Solutions described here work, but I want to add that you need to have correct target selected on the top left corner of Build Settings in Xcode. Lost some time figuring this out...

Answer 15

You can easily fix the problem by changing bundle identifier on the Apple web page from com.my.app to com.my.app.iOS. I found this solution at https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/15712.

Answer 16

In Xcode 7.3 I got the same error, my certificate and provisional profile both were fine still I was getting the same error, I was unable to delete the provisional profile in Xcode preferences, so I tried by right-clicking on the provisional profile which shows the option to move to trash, but when I clicked nothing happened then I closed the preference window and open it again by Command, the provisional profile was gone and download option was visible, I clicked download and it starting working fine

Answer 17

When distribute to App Store, you choose Product -> Achieve and encounter "code sign error, no matching provisioning profiles found", if account and downloaded .mobileprovision file is ok. Try click the "Build and Run" button to run it on your phone.

And, a dialog box will popup with a button "Fix", just click "Fix" to do next... Last, your device will have an valid provisioning file. Just do "Product -> Achieve" again, everything is OK!

Answer 18

You can also simply go to xcode preferences then accounts and then it may ask you to simply re sign in with your developer profile and then the issues should go away.

Hope this Helps!

Answer 19

For me changing the build configuration from release to Debug solved the issue.

You can find Build Configuration in Edit Scheme -> Run -> Info -> Build Configuration

Clean your project and re run.

Answer 20

In addition to what other users posted, make sure the Team selected on the Target settings (General tab) is the correct one. Xcode will complain it cannot find the Provisioning Profile if the profile belongs to a different team than the one selected.

Answer 21

For me nothing above worked with XCode 7.3.1 because I had nothing in provisioning profiles (expired). I had to connect my iPhone to Mac and then click on Fix provisioning profile which created another profile expires in a week.

Answer 23

For me none of the solution worked, but If i disconnect the phone from laptop and then run the build, it succeeds and then I connect and run on the phone. I still couldn't figure out the final fix.
