Just got a notice that the provisioning profile for one of my apps is about to expire  Is there some way I can renew the existing one or must I recreate a new one

In Xcode4 go to the Organizer  Choose at library the Provisioning Profiles  Select your provisioning profile and click on the  Refresh  button at the bottom  It will ask you to enter your login and password  After that  the profile is renewed

I ve done what you suggest  and I don t see a  Renew  button either   The following is how I got mine renewed   I see my three profiles  companynameProfile   Team Provisioning Profile   and productnameProfile    THe first and third are going to expire within a couple of weeks  The second  and only the second  is flagged as  managed by Xcode    The profile names appear in a table with columns labelled   Provisioning Profile   App ID  Status  and Actions  The status for all three is  Active    First 1 and 3  the Actions column has a  Download  button  and an  Edit  link   For 2  gthe Actions column has only the  Download  button   There is no  Renew   or  Refresh   button   link anywhere  and I did a view-source and searched that too     So  I thought   click on  Edit  on  3     two choices pop-up  Modify and Duplicate  I chose  Modify   There is still no renew refresh     but there is a  Submit  button     which doesn t work  turns out its sort of grayed out  but that s not at all obvious   bad UI design    I discovered that if I change something on the screen  in my case  I selected a previously unused device    Submit  darkens  becomes available   Click on  Submit   You re quietly  another UI problem    taken back to the prior page  and the  Download  and  Edit  buttons are gone  and the status column should say  Pending    After awhile  I refreshed the window  reloaded   don t know if it would have auto-refreshed      and saw that the status column had changed to  Active    Now   I downloaded the new profile  the one that the darn page doesn t tell you is new  and doesn t LIST THE EXPIRATION DATE so you could tell yourself     third UI flaw already     I downloaded the profile  deleted the old profile from the list in the Organizer window of Xcode  then dragged the new one into the Organizer window of Xcode  and     voila  Organizer shows a new expiration date  of about 3 months from today    Hope that helps   Stan Cupertino  CA  USA

In addition to the other solutions I needed to edit the code signing on the main project and the Target file to get the app building to the device again after an expired provisioning profile     Delete the old expired profiles    Add the new profile with the Organizer    Clean All Targets    Get Info -  Code Signing on both the main project and the Target    Build and Run

Do you know if the renew button only appeared when the profile expired  I ve a profile that will expire soon  but no  renew  button is shown at the moment   Just read elsewhere that apparently this is the case

Unfortunately renewing does not seem to work in my case  My Ad Hoc Distribution Profile is about to expire in 5 days  I got warnings about that on the iPhone and the Xcode Organizer shows a warning sign next to it as well    In Apple s provisioning portal it was marked as inactive and there was a button to reactivate it  But still with the same expiry date  5 days from now   Next  I added two more iPhones to it  yet  the changed profile still expires 5 days from now   Finally  I deleted the profile in the provisioning portal and created a new one from scratch  using a different name  yet this new one still expires on April 13th  5 days from now   That is really frustrating  So I guess I have to wait until after it expires and create a new one then   In case you are wondering if my developer subscription runs out  it is not  I just renewed it in February

They change how this works so often   This is what I had to do this time  May 2016     Add a new provisioning profile in the Developer Member Center Open XCode preferences  Account   Choose Apple ID   Choose Team Name   View Details Click the Download button in the Action column for the newly-created provisioning profile

For me the problem was occurring because there was no active Production certificate  I created a new one  and then went to the expired distribution provisioning profile  added the certificate and the provisioning profile got activated

To renew the development profile before it expired  I finally found a way that works for me  I boldfaced the steps I had been missing before    Go to the Apple provisioning portal  select  Provisioning   You ll get a list  Development Provisioning Profiles  where you ll see your soon to expire profile with the label  Managed by XCode   Click the  New Profile  button on top  select the type of profile you want and create it  Wait half a minute  refresh the home screen and when it shows the new profile as  Active   switch back to XCode  go to the Organizer  select  Provisioning profiles  under  Library  in left top column  Click  Refresh  at the bottom  log in  if it asks  and the new profile appears in the list after a short while   Now  crucially  connect your device and drag your new profile to the  Provisioning Profiles  row under the connected device in the left column   Finally  you can clean up the old profiles from your device if you feel like it   Note  interestingly  it seems that simply marking and deleting your provisioning profile on the iOS Provisioning Portal site causes a new fresh Team Provisioning Profile to be created  So maybe that is all that is needed  I will try that next time to see if that is enough  if so you don t need to create a profile as I described above

I went to the Program Portal on Apple s dev site  clicked on Provisioning  clicked on the  Renew  button next to my Profile  the status changed from  expired  to  pending   waited a few moments  clicked refresh  the new status was active until 3 months from now  I clicked on  Download   found the downloaded file in my downloads folder  and dragged it onto my XCode Icon   I had Xcode running already  and had the iphone plugged in   The new profile showed up  and I deleted the old one  being careful because they had the same name  but when you mouse over them the expiration date appears     I think because I had the phone plugged in already it automagically updated to the phone  because I didn t have to re-sync or anything   Now my App works again

Update March 2013  The expiry date of the provisioning profile is linked to the expiry date of the developer certificate  And I didn t want to wait for it to expire so here is what I did -   Go to the iOS Provisioning portal  Revoke the current certificate In Xcode   Organizer go to the Provisioning profiles page  under Library  Press refresh and it will prompt you to create a new developer certificate since the current one has been revoked  Follow the steps to create one Go back to the iOS provisioning portal for your distribution profiles and change something about it so it will enable the submit button  Submit it and the date of the new certificate will get applied to it

As of May 2017 this process seems to have changed yet again  a bit    I did not find it necessary to actually modify anything to do with my profile  and fortunately the certificate was still valid so renewal ended up being a simple process though figuring out exactly what to do was not straightforward    Select the expiring profile in your developer account and click  Edit   Click the  Generate  button   Verify that the certificate linked to the profile is still valid for at least a year I did not find it necessary to modify the profile in any way   On the next screen  verify that the expiration date of the profile has been extended
