Tried to rebuild an app that was just working yesterday. Got a message that a profile had expired, so I removed it from the iPod and from Itunes. When I chose a new profile (one with an * in the identifier), I now get an error:
Code Sign Error: Provisioning Profile (long string) can't be found.
What am I missing? I looked through related questions and didn't see this scenario already. Thanks
Sometimes your xcode project file gets messed up, especially if you have an old project and first created it with an older version of xcode/iphone sdk. What you need to do is open up the project file in a text editor, search from the long sting and manually erase that line. In fact, you should just go aead and erase any line that points to any provisioning profiles. Then reopen the project in xcode, go to the settings are reselect your new profile. This clears up issues like that most of the time The lines that point to the provisioning profiles will look like this:
PROVISIONING_PROFILE = "487F3EAC-05FB-4A2A-9EA0-31F1F35760EB";
"PROVISIONING_PROFILE[sdk=iphoneos*]" = "487F3EAC-05FB-4A2A-9EA0-31F1F35760EB";
Here's a simpler solution that worked for me and which doesn't require the manual editing of the project file:
In XCode, in the "Groups & Files" pane, expand "Targets" and double-click on your app's target. This brings up the Info pane for the target. In the "Build" section, check the "code signing" section for any old profiles and replace with the correct one.
Note that this is different from double-clicking on your project icon and changing the profile from there. Quite amazing :)
