Missing "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" in Xcode build options

In my case, the other responses didn't do the trick. What finally did was deleting my "Distribution" profile from the Info window in XCode, then re-creating that profile according to the instructions on the dev website. Then, voila!

Can anyone verify that the Code Signing Provisioning Profile is not needed any longer?

Thank you bingosabi, it worked for me (I was trying to build the app on a second Mac without success : missing provisioning profile error).

I managed to fix the same problem by creating a fresh new project and copying all the files into it, using the same settings and profiles that weren't working in the old project. Then it woke up and let me install back onto the iphone again.

Similar problem & fix:

Installed the 3.0 SDK and XCode, and updated devices to 3.0.

When trying to deploy debug version to device, get error:

Can't run "x" on the iPod "y". The iPod "y" doesn't have the provisioning profile with which the application was signed. Please add the provisioning profile via the Organizer or check the "Code Signing Identity" build setting.

Checked device has profile (both on the device under Settings->General and via the Organizer). Double checked using the right signing identity. Tried cleaning everything, emptying the XCode cache, rebooting both the Mac and the device.

Even deleted all certificates, etc and created brand new ones via the developer portal, and still getting the same error. Checked the certificates work fine in keychain, have the right default, have a private key, etc. Also checked the profiles have all the right app id's, certificates, devices.

Created a brand new "Hello World" project, set it up and -- it worked! So that means it is something wrong inside the old project (i.e. all the certificates and profiles are working).

Needed some manual editing of the project file. First of all make a backup (copy) of the xcodeproj file. This is actually a package, so Control-click and select "Show Package Contents". Then Control-click on project.pbxproj and open with TextEdit.

In the XCBuildConfiguration section had several lines with PROVISIONING_PROFILE that were not in the test application, as well as several CODE SIGNIDENTITY and one CODE SIGNENTITLEMENTS.

Remove all entries of these three types, save and close the files. Open the project in XCode and check that running in the simulator still works. (The device won't work because we deleted all the signing).

Select the Project root and click Info, then set the Code Signing Identity to the value you want, or you can select the Target and set the signing identity there. Anyway, after removing all the bad entries from the project file manually, deploying to the device is working once again!
