Solution 1

I had the same problem in a project that i used push notifications what i did to fix it is : Target-> Capabillities and turned on push notifications .fix

Note: the answer from @codebrew explains this clever fix further.

Solution 2

I was able to resolve this by deleting all my provisional files on my computer (~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles) and restarting Xcode.

Solution 3

I was able to fix this same issue by turning on push notifications and then turning them back off.

Not sure why this works, but in Xcode 9.4.1, and Xcode 10 Beta this fix still works.

Update: This works in Xcode 10.1 & 10.2

Solution 4

Xcode 9 and 10 may pop up this error because it's looking for a entitlements file for the target. You can turn on Push Notification in the target's Capabilities tab then turn it off to create an empty entitlements file for the build, then this error goes away.

Solution 5

Under Code Signing Identity, change iPhone Distribution to iPhone Developer for Debug section.

Ran into this on iTunes Connect. Deleted all my PP, restart Xcode, resolved. Oh and I believe this occurred because I added a new device in between Archive builds and then got this issue. Weird.

lol 3 days wasted and this was the solution. How come Push Notifications got unticked in the first place I never know.

This worked for me too-- just turn push notifications on and back off.

This happened to me as well. For an older project that I was updating, I had forgotten to turn on GameCenter in the Capabilities tab.

Worked. It creates .entitlements file so that's probably why.
