provisioning profile hell

once in a while I run across a problem with provisioning a device with a dev version of an app . The error message is usually "a valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found".

I have followed all the Apple instructions: I have a valid dev certificate, the developer provisioning profile includes the device ID of the device in question, codesigning works during build. I have the signing identity set for my developer identity, which Xcode matches up with the development provisioning profile just like it should.

Then, when I try to install the app on the device by doing a 'build/run' in xcode, I get the error described above, and I'm at a total loss. It works just fine on any number of other devices, but for some reason, there are a few devices for which this process bombs.

Here's the console log for the failed install on the device:

Team and I ran into same issue as you. It work fine with many device except the customer iPod. We try to create everything from scratch. App ID, Provision, Build. No Luck.

So, after review great article at http://boga.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/debugging-ipod-provision-profilescertificates/

so, I use the Organize to sync provision with iTunes Connect site. then check provision file with TextEdit (Vim).

this line should be appear. After that my deploy with Adhoc success.

<key>Entitlements</key>
    <dict>
        <key>application-identifier</key>
        <string>H33HFFQMS8.icpsstock</string>
        <key>get-task-allow</key>
        <false/>
        <key>keychain-access-groups</key>
        <array>
            <string>H33HFFQMS8.*</string>
        </array>
    </dict>

Hope this help, my configuration looks like this.

  1. Target iOS 3.1.3
  2. Base SDK 4.2
  3. LLVM GCC 4.2 Build
  4. get-task-allow in Entitlement.plist must be false
  5. Sync Organizer's provision with iTunes Connect

You might want to try the whole provisioning process from the beginning again. Yesterday, the XCode managed "automatic" provisioning profile gave me that error when I try to test on a new iPhone. So I had to resolve to the old manual installation of provisioning profile.

I deleted all my profiles from both the device and the XCode. Added the new device to the provisioning profile on the iOS provisioning portal on the apple website. (I think I also closed XCode and restarted my machine.) Re-downloaded the new profile and installed to the XCode. Changed to that profile in the project setting. And it worked.

The only thing that I didn't do was regeneration of the certificate.
