Hello all I am new to the Xcode etc… I made a app now

  • 0

Hello all I am new to the Xcode etc… I made a app now I am trying to distribute it ad-hoc I paid for the enterprise license, I see this is a problem with other people I just am too new to find out what to change. A valid provisioning profile matching the application’s Identifier ‘4R7B8RY6Z1.com.LaneBob’ could not be found is the error I created a provisioning profile ‘4R7B8RY6Z1.com.LaneBob.*’ what do I change in the code or Xcode to fix this so I can build it? I am building to archive not to a device so I am not sure what to do.

Thanks for any help!

EDIT
I have checked these places:

1) info.plist
Make sure that your Bundle identifier matches what you have in your Provisioning portal. It should have what you entered online, not the yourcompanyname stuff.

2) Your target
Right click on your build target and select “get info”. And then under the Build tab, find the Code Signing section. There should be one item that says Code Signing Identity. This is where you pick which signing identity to sign with and you want to make sure it matches the intended provisioning profile. If you don’t see your provisioning profile listed, you didn’t install it correctly. Your provisioning profile needs to be installed on the device for it to run, and in Xcode so it can sign the app with the provisioning profile.

Still not working

    For your two points:

    1) You should have com.LaneBob.yourappName in the info.plist file. For Ad-hoc distribution you can’t have ‘generic’ names with wildcard characters. You don’t need the beginning HASH part (4R7B8RY6Z1. in your case)

    2)You pick code signing identity in XCode target preferences. ‘LEFT’ click on project, then go to the target of your app. Inside there, there are ‘code signing identity’ for different configurations. When you build and archive you typically build release mode and use distribution certificate.

    All this can not solve your problem if you don’t have provisioning profile installed in your mac. Just download it from the portal and double click on it to install it. Also with newer XCode you can just download all provisioning portals from organizer, by entering the user/password there.

    Incidentally, I found you need to restart xcode sometimes to ‘get’ the keychain updates.

    Hope it helps!
