Provisioning Profiles in XCode 5

Question

I started using XCode 5 today and found when trying to archive a project for ad-hoc distribution that the provisioning profiles I was presented with did not include one I had recently created, but did include one that I had deleted. I checked the list of profiles in my Organizer for that device, and that list was OK and included the recent one that I had downloaded.

So my question is, what's going on here. Where's my profiles?

Solution 1

I found the answer by following a clue here on this site on a related subject. You have to go into XCode | Preferences | Accounts | View Details. There you will see the (old) list. Hit the refresh button. That will download an updated list.

Now when I go to distribute my archive ad-hoc, I get the refreshed list of profiles.

Solution 2

I found out that downloading and manually adding it by double clicking works fine as well. Don't have to wait all day ;-)

I am having a similar problem. My ad-hoc Provisioning Profile is not available when I try to sign for distribution. However, it is available in XCode | Preferences | Accounts | View Details. How do I make it available for distribution?

sometimes it takes a while though (for some reason the 'propagation' of the provision profile takes a while.. especially with apple's notoriously slow servers).. so keep on clicking the refresh button, if it doesn't show up.. just work on something else until the next day.. i sometimes had to wait that long

Nice of them to make it more hidden like that instead of having, you know, a refresh button in the provisioning profiles view.

I'll try this, because I have duplicate Ad Hoc profiles, and I want to make sure I code sign with the latest version (i.e., the most devices included).
