Xamarin.iOS & XCode 8.3: how to download provisioning profiles?

Below is the the Xcode 8.3 interface for managing developer accounts, provisioning profiles, etc.

enter image description here

In earlier versions of Xcode it looked like this:

I cant seem to figure out how to use Xcode to download new or updated provisioning profiles in a manner that Xamarin Studio (Mac) will pick up on.

I did quite a bit of searching but cant seem to figure out how to do this in Xcode 8.3. I also tried a few command line approaches but to no avail.

Does anyone know how to do this using either Xcode 8.3 or manual approach?

The manual approach I have used is to delete the Xcode generated "Provisioning Profiles" folder. This worked for me today using Xcode Version 8.3.3 (8E3004b)

  • Close Xcode etc
  • Delete Provisioning Profiles folder
  • Restart Xcode and the folder will be recreated with the most recent copy of the profiles downloaded from Apple.

The folder is under your home directory:

~/Library/MobileDevice/

or

In xCode 8.3 the managing of provisioning profiles was moved from the Preferences-Accounts window to the specific project settings under Project-General tab.

From the "Xcode Release Notes" official documentation you'll find:

Provisioning - New Features:

Changed the user interface for managing signing certificates and provisioning profiles. Certificates are managed from the Accounts preferences pane by selecting a team and clicking Manage Certificates. Automatically managing signing is recommended, however if your app requires manually signing provisioning profiles are managed in the General tab of the project editor. Use the Provisioning Profile dropdown to import or download profiles. In addition it displays profiles that match the current signing configuration of the target. For more information, see Xcode Help. (28641027)

You should check the answer from How to remove provisioning profiles from Xcode. I checked off automatically manage signing and did it manually and it seems to work.

Hopefully this can help you as well, Cheers
