A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.

I have the above error message when trying to compile to an iPhone 5 for testing. The project has been compiled to an iPhone 4 (with iOS 6) and an iPhone 4s (with iOS 5) and it is ok.

Have also downloaded a file called “iOS_development.cer” from the Apple developer site. Not sure if the *.cer file is the right file to download. And also cannot install the *.cer file in Xcode.

Please help …

    A “.cer” file is a certificate file that allows you to code sign apps that you install and/or distribute ADHOC versions for.

    The file you really want to have is the mobile provisioning file. If you download it from the provisioning portal, it will have a “.mobileprovision” extension at the end of it. Double clicking this file will install it into your Xcode organizer (under “Devices”).

    If you did it correctly, it should appear on this screen:

    Provisioning Profiles in the Organizer

    You install the certificate once, and you might create a mobile provision file for each new project / app you work on (unless you have Xcode manage the provisioning automatically).
