Provisioning Profile

After two hours on the phone with Apple support - they hung up on me.


I am trying to create a provisioning profile so I can develop an App. I was able to do so mannually in my online account - I even downloaded it to my computer. However, Xcode cannot recognize it. Further, the "automatic" version simply does not work with my computer.


Is it possible to use this horrible product? All I wan to do is create a provisioning profile. But, the error won't go away and Xcode cannot find the profile I created. Any advice on how to develop in this trash IDE? Any idea why Apple treats its customers so poorly?

In Xcode, create a new project using the iOS Single View template.


Confirm it is set for auto code signing, then try to build it to your iPhone.

Do you have a paid Developer Program account?


Which version Xcode are you working with?

You need to go into your Apple developer account on https://developer.apple.com/ and click on "Certificates, IDs & Profiles", and under the "Devices" panel, add your development iPhone that you'll be using to test your app. You'll need your iPhone's UDID, which I found in the "Music" app if you plug your iPhone in with an actual data/synch USB cable and in the "Music" app click on your iPhone in the left sidebar, and click the info section along the top of the panel until "UDID" shows. Then right-click in the UDID area to select "Copy UDID" ... then paste that into your developer account window to finish adding your iPhone as a development device.

That might be the missing portion, for you to work through a sample brand-new-app such as the one at: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/BuildABasicUI.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015214-CH5-SW1
