I'm passing this along for the sake of completeness.

I had tried "bobsmells" (and, sorry to hear that Bob) recommendation, but was still getting the same error. It was a guesstimate on my part to check the Build Settings in Xcode to see if there was anything that stood out as being a possible red flag ...

As I had already created and could see my provisioning profile both on Apple's provisioning portal as well as within Xcode's Organizer Devices tab I knew the profile existed, and was in the proper locations (Xcode and the Portal).

I simply went to the Project Navigator > Targets (your_target_name) > Build Settings > Code Signing, and noticed the value was "iPhone Developer" under the "Automatic Profile Selector (Recommended)" heading.

The solution was to simply select the "iPhone Developer: (your_name_here)" located under the "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: * (for bundle itendifiers '*') heading.

In other words, use the provision profile I just created. Perform a Clean, Build, then run it. That did the trick.

Hope this helps someone ...
