Xcode 10 A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found

Question

Since yesterday I ve been getting the following error when trying run an app on my device   A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found  quot   This is after updating to Xcode 10  Building with Xcode 9 last week worked without issues  I ve checked the other discussions about the error  but none of the solutions works  The issue isn t limited to a single project I ve been working on as it affects several all from different signing teams  So far I ve tried the following   Cleaning project  Cleaning derived data  Uninstalling Xcode  deleting any preferences and files related to it   Installing Xcode on a completely different Mac  Testing with different devices  Disabling device in developer profile and letting Xcode enable it again   Deleting all certificates in the developer portal and recreating them  Unchecking and rechecking  quot Automatically manage signing quot   Trashing the provisioning profile and letting Xcode recreate it  Creating a manual provisioning profile in the developer profile   The project contains no tests so there can t be a problem with wrong signing settings on that target  Date   Time is set to Automatic One thing of note is that no Provisioning Profiles are listed here  except for the manual one I created  https   developer apple com account ios profile  I d expect the xcode generated one to show up as they do for all other clients  Below are the signing settings I m currently using  I ve yet to try downgrading Xcode to an older version to see if that works  Other than that I have no idea of what to try next

I had the same issue  XCode 11  and nothing worked what was written here   My issue was that I had iOS Beta  13 3  on my Phone  After reverting that everything worked fine again      Idea   Maybe the device caches some Information about the provisioning profile too  so a factory reset of the phone might also fix it

Did you maybe change your developing device  It happened to me when I bought a new iPhone and gave it the same name with my previous device  A clean build however fixed the issue

For our team  nothing helped  We have spend a couple of days and tried out every step that was mentioned here above in answers and comments  We tried with XCode 10 and even XCode 9 2 on an App  that is on the App store since many years   The issue began after upgrading to MacOS Mojave  Unfortunately  going back to HighSierra didn t help then   At least we was able again to ship into App store after we ve created new certificate and provisioning profile  But we still are not able any more to test our App in release mode on real device  which is necessary to test InApp-purchases    In short  Archiving and submission works well  running on real device not   Several developers  several devices  macbooks  XCode versions       At the end we had to change the AppID for being able again to test on real device   Therefor we run two different projects now  one for shipping to TestFlight AppStore with the real AppID and one for development purposes with another AppID     Although this only happens on ONE particular App of our company and not all the others  we expect to run into similar issues in the future as things get more worse with Apple s development tools

edit  Note 2020  I used to manual sign this project  In projects where I automatically signed  I never had this issue    edit   I had the same problem  and spent hours searching for an answer  removing profiles  cleaning project  and so on   Have you distributed your app  You need to switch back to your developer profile  but not in General under the project settings  but in Build settings   Under Signing  look at your Code Signing Identity   Make sure that both your Debug and Release are set your iOS Developer  and not iOS Distribution  or your iOS Developer Provisioning profile  if not set to the automatic values   The same goes with Provisioning Profile  It should be your developing profile  and not your distribution profile    Hope this will help future developers in need

So this won t be the case for everyone but I thought I d post it here anyway as there doesn t seem be any answers relating to it   In my case I was working on an app that was being developed in ReactNative  my issue was that although my signing was correct on the main app target the test target did not have any signing applied to it  For some reason React Native requires that both your app target and your test target are signed in order to install the app on a device  It does specify this in the official documentation on building for device however its the only instance I have ever seen where the test target is built alongside the app for anything other than testing   In order to sign your test target  go to your project settings by opening the project navigator   1  and select your project at the top   Inside the main editor select your main app target under Targets  should have the same name as your project  and ensure the signing is correct  then select the test target  likely just under your main app target  it should be the same name with Tests appended  and make sure its signed in the same way   Rebuild your app and it should now install successfully   Credit for this goes to Leo Lei  his answer here saved me a lot of headache  https   stackoverflow com a 48657358 732844  As an aside  if anyone knows why react native requires your test target be built alongside your app target could they let me know  The only reason I can think of is to streamline the interface so react can build a single app and do both running and testing without needing to rebuild but i m just guessing with that one

Make sure you   1  Have a registered provisioning profile for your device   2  Device must be added to the Development profile and updated    If you still run into issues check your target s build settings   Make sure you   1  CODE SIGNING REQUIRED in User-Defined is set to YES     2  Check Signing options are correct  If the problem persists switch to Manual settings instead of automatically

Encountered same issue  we ve had multiple configurations in Xcode project  let s say Debug-Staging  Debug-Production  We then unified those and used only one configuration Debug  But the old one  no longer existing  was stuck in scheme for run phase  so once you tried to run  Xcode showed you this message  Which makes sense as provisioning profiles are set up in build settings based on configuration   So run scheme looked like this     While project configurations were setup like this     Changing scheme to use configuration that is still available in project is what fixed this issue for me
