What worked for me was to completely delete the entitlements file  from the groups list  and from the Build Settings in both Project and Target  Then I recreated the entitlements from the Summary tab in the target  and it loaded fine without any error messages

My problem was that the scheme was having Archive point to Release  and Release in the Build Settings had the Code Signing Identity set to the one of the automatic profile selectors  Well the  automatic  did the wrong thing  and in fact changed what it pointed to since two days ago   and was pointing to a different profile than the one I was selecting when creating the ad-hoc release  Pointing the identity to an explicit setting and using that same profile when distributing fixed the problem

Just came across this issue myself  the problem was that I had a Entitlements plist file in the project as part of an ad hoc distribution  and its get-task-allow  ie   can be debugged   property was set to NO - setting this to YES fixed the issue and allowed the app to run from Xcode4 on the device in development   Naturally need to set it back to NO for ad hoc distributions  but just thought I d mention it in case anyone else comes across the same problem

In my case it was a stupid mistake  I incorrectly set the  Run  scheme to use the  Distribution  build configuration instead of the  Debug  or  Release  one  Stupid mistake  but it took a while to debug it  so I m going to add my answer to improve the knowledge base inside stack overflow

One more potential problem that will throw this error message  If you re using a perfectly valid provisioning profile for you main app  but have an expired or otherwise invalid provisioning profile for your Today widget extension  I imagine it d be the same for an Apple watch extension as well    Check all the profiles

If you are trying to activate iCloud syncing  you will need to enable iCloud for the AppID that is used to create the development provisioning profile  which Xcode does automatically   You ll also need to enable this for distribution profiles as well   The tricky part is that when you refresh profiles in Xcode  this does not trigger a renewal of the profiles  they are simply re-downloaded  So in your iOS Provisioning Portal under Provisioning Development  you ll need to check the profile that is labeled  Managed by Xcode  and delete it  Remove Selected button   Do this for ALL profiles  development  amp  distribution  that you need to regenerate   Now  in Xcode in the Organizer  delete provisioning profiles that you are about to replace   Now to get new ones  If you develop for more than one team and only want to refresh a particular one  select the appropriate Team in the left pane under TEAMS  otherwise select Provisioning Profiles under LIBRARY  then select Refresh   Finally  remove any old provisioning profiles on your device that could conflict with the new ones since profiles are never deleted automatically  newer profiles are simply added to the list

This seems to work for me when I encounter this    Turn off all entitlements under Capabilities Install app with a basic provisioning profile  no app groups  without push  no keychain sharing  etc  Change the entitlements back and switch back to your proper provisioning profile  I undo the above changes using source control    Flipping entitlements off on alone didn t work for me   including uninstalling and reinstalling the app in between  deleting DerivedData  and restarting Xcode  It seemed I actually had to deploy the app in this configuration for it to go back to working properly   I ve had this issue several times when my provisioning profile gets updated and I reload it into Xcode  Nothing had changed with the entitlements allowed by the provisioning profile so everything should have matched as before  It may have worked to delete my entitlements file and recreate it as other uprooted answers suggest  from the Capabilities tab  too  but I use the above method to avoid random no-op changes to my entitlements file that s checked into source control

Happened to me on Xcode 8  it was partially caused by the new Provisioning Profile build setting  as in this Xcode version there are two entries for provisioning profile    Provisioning Profile Provisioning Profile  Deprecated    My fault was that I updated only the first one  and the deprecated entry was still pointing to an invalid provisioning profile  Changing both to the same value solved the issue  clearing the deprecated entry should also have the same effect

Just putting in my 5 cents here  For me none of the above worked  so I was forced to stress down and actually look at every part of the process with fresh eyes   In rushing this I forgot that I was trying to install my app on a totally new device   So my error was that I hadn t updated my provisioning profile by ticking off my new device int the  Devices  section of the provisioning profile setup in the Provisioning Portal   Apparently not including your device in the provisioning profile also generates this error message

I ran into this problem today and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out  Like many people here  it would work if I removed the iCloud options in my entitlement file  When I would go to debug the app with the iCloud options enabled then I would get the 0xe8008016 error  This was right after revoking and regenerating new certificates   So what solved it for me was to turn on iCloud support for the automatically generated Xcode team profile  Log onto the online provisioning tool  go to App IDs  click on Xcode iOS Wildcard App ID  click on edit  enable iCloud by checking the checkbox  and finally clicking Done  Refresh your profiles in Xcode and then it will start to work   This makes some sense - when you re debugging it defaults to the team profile and the team profile needs to have iCloud turned on

I had the same problem in my app  after a few month this specific app worked fine   The problem was that the Capabilities configured in my Xcode project  under Targets -   ProjectName  -  Capabilities  were not the same as the Capabilities configured in the provisioning profile  you can check that in the Apple member centre under Identifier -  App Ids -   your app ID   In the member centre I saw that Game Center is enabled and so in my project I also enabled Game Center  Then the app was able to launch   I don t know how it worked until now  That s still a mystery
