Xcode 8 shows error that provisioning profile doesn't include signing certificate

Question

Xcode 8 shows error that provisioning profile doesn\'t include signing certificate.

This issue is with Xcode-8 only with Xcode 7, same provisioning profile showing r

Answer 1

I got one of these emails from Apple:

Dear John Doe,

The following certificate has either been revoked by a member of your development team or has expired:

Certificate: iOS Development

Team Name: Honey Team, LLC

This does not affect apps that you've submitted to the App Store or your ability to update your apps. If you're using provisioning profiles that contain this certificate, they must be recreated before they can be reused. For details, see the "App signing overview" section of Xcode Help.

Best regards,

I created a new certificate which revoked the previous certificate (locally and on any other developer's mac). For it to work I must download the new provision profiles.

The solution is to:

• login into Apple developer account
• remove/revoke the previous certificates created in my name.
• add the new certificate to the provision profile. You can identify the newer one by their expiry date
• download them again from Xcode. Xcode >> Account >> Download All Profiles
• restart Xcode

I personally didn't have such access. This access was only available to our team's admin, hence I don't have screenshots nor certain if these steps are 100% correct.
