I am having a problem with the Provisioning Profile in Xcode. After a day of reading and following the IOS Provisioning Portal, and also to solve the problem, I seek help.
It seems to me that I must satisfy the following conditions in order to distribute the application in the App Store: 1) In my assembly, I should aim the DEVICE (i.e. Not a simulator). 2) The target device must be configured in the Xcode organizer with the Provisioning Distribution profile.
But I cannot satisfy these conditions through the Provisioning Portal, based on what I have experienced so far:
1) I created a distribution distribution profile. 2) Indicates null devices. 3) When I try to edit it, the devices turn gray if the “Application Store” is selected as “Distribution Method”, but not when “Ad Hoc” is selected. Therefore, I cannot add devices for distribution in the App Store. 4) I uploaded the distribution distribution profile (.mobileprovision file). 5) In Xcode Organizer, when I try to add a Provisioning Profile to my device, the distribution distribution profile that I downloaded is grayed out.
I am concerned that the Provisioning Distribution profile indicates null devices. Is it because only Provisioning Provisioning profiles can indicate devices?
I am also worried that I cannot add the distribution profile that I downloaded to the device in Xcode Organizer. DEVELOPMENT PREVENTION Profiling is not grayed out. Is it because only Provisioning Provisioning profiles can be added to the device?
When I make the assembly, I made sure the Signing Code section indicates “iPhone Distribution” and indicates my distribution distribution profile. The assembly completed successfully, but I get the following error and the program will not start on the device:
"A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found"
I must have missed something, as many others did it successfully. Can someone point out what I am missing or something is wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
