Profile provisioning error when deploying to device in release mode.

Question

When I build and deploy to my device in debug mode, everything works fine. But when I switch to release mode I get an error:

Code Sign error: Provisioning profile '' can't be found

And indeed, I have no idea where or why xcode is looking for this profile. Based on what I have read it seems I have to delete all profiles and create a new one just for a release build.

What am I doing wrong here?

I'd look at the settings for your target (opt-cmd-e), change to the "Release" configuration (dropdown box in the top left) and take a look at what the "Code Signing Identity" is set to under the "Code Signing" section. Try changing it to a different one and see if it works.
