The iPhone “phone” doesn’t have the provisioning profile with which the application was signed.

Question

I have tried everything to fix this provision problem and nothing is working. I've reformated my Mac, reinstalled the iPhone, I've also dragged the provisions (developer and distribution) onto the Organizer, iTunes, and Xcode.

In iTunes people say to drag the provisions to the iPhone icon but that doesn't work; it's only able to go under Library (it shows a blue rectangle for me to drop it there). I just have a newly created dummy app with a 57x57 icon. I've also setup the project with the distribution thing with its distribution provision. When I build I get this:

The iPhone “myphone” doesn’t have the provisioning profile with which the application was signed.

Click “Install and Run” to install the provisioning profile “distribution” on “myphone” and continue running “helloworld.app”.

and it has a button "install and run" ive clicked on that hundreths of times and nothing.

in orgranizer I see a tab called Console. I've cleared it and rebuild the app and there is some output that I dont understand. I'm thinking its my problem whats it mean?

Answer 1

i figured out the problem.

what i did was recreate a dummy project and named the project sample. then i created a new development and distribution provision and called it sample. i deleted all the provisions i had currently on my system and added the new ones by selecting both files and dragging it over into the xcode organiser. i also deleted the provision on my iphone by going to settings -> general -> profile -> clicked on remove. then i selected in xcode build -> build and it was successfull. what i was doing was i was a clicking on build and run and whenever i do that i get this error posted above. but when i do a regular build with the device selected in xcode it is 100% sucessfull with no errors. i had to try it in itunes connect to see if the app is sucessfull and i did an upload and it worked!. i cant believe it. if anyone has problems with provision email me: [email protected] and maybe i can help. or aim: sarmenhb
