Unable to sign iPhone app with distribution certificate

Question

I have struggled every step of the way with the process of submitting to the appstore. I am now at the point where it asked if I wanted to use the distibution certificate I have in Xcode.

I selected yes and I get an error as below. What is the problem with this? please help. I have stuggled more to setup this process than to develop my app.

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



Click “Install and Run” to install the provisioning profile “#######” on “**********” and continue running “$$$$$$$.app”.

If I click install and run it just says it cannot install blah blah

Answer 1

There are very detailed and clear instructions provided. Start all over at #1, and follow them through carefully one by one. Check each step several times to make sure you've done it right.

Answer 2

Open Organizer in Xcode (Window > Organizer).

1. Does your iPhone's name appear there? If not, is your phone plugged in :)? Also, some people have had this issue when installing multiple versions of XCode - if your phone also doesn't show up in iTunes, reinstall iTunes to address this.

2. If it does show up, click on it. Look at the provisioning profiles. What do you see there? Do you see one that matches your app?

Make sure your build configurations are correct for the following:

• Distribution (which i think you've got)
• Device (for whichever device you're building for)
