An administrator must request identities before they can be downloade

-I'm in the Organizer within Xcode trying to get through the Validation process.

-I have a developer provision file.

-I'm getting this screen related to identities. I don't know what identities they are referring to. The screen reads:

Connect to iOs Dev Center:

Xcode can obtain identities from the iOs Dev Center

Button: download identities

The error I get after pressing the button

An administrator must request identities before they can be downloaded

-I'm the administrator on the account. I can successfully connect within XCode to iTunes Connect and Apple Developer.

-I've successfully ran the app through an AdHoc deployment.

So, needless to say I can't publish to Apple and am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

Go to "iOS Provisioning Portal" -> "Certificates" (Left sidebar) -> "Distribution" tab
Check field "Provisioning Profiles". If empty, next (3)
Go to "Provisioning" (Left sidebar) -> "Distribution" tab. Press "New Profile" and complete it. Go back to (2) check the field again.
Back to XCode Organizer - Devices. Click TEAM (Left sidebar) and click "Refresh" (right-bottom). You will find XCode fetch the new profile.
Then validate or distribute you app again. It should work that I solve the same problem just minutes ago.

I have exactly the same problem, but unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. It still gives the same error message.

Hi. In all honesty. I never figured this out. I created a brand-new project and then everything magically worked!!

The Bundle identifier in your Xcode project doesn't match the Bundle ID you registered online

The way i ended up solving this is by downloading the provisioning profile from my ios devlopement site. Then i double clicked the the download and it set up everything for me. GL
