Missing iOS Distribution signing identity

Question

I deleted all my provisioning profiles from my Mac by mistake (Library/Mobile Device/Provisioning Profiles). Now, no matter what I do, Xcode gives me this error:

Answer 1

Apparently, I was having the same issue as this question, the answer there solved my problem too!! Even though I had my WWDR certificate, re adding to the keychain solved my problem!

EDIT: Before doing this, here is what I did:

1. Exit xCode

2. Go to Keychain Access. Delete every certificate which has iOS in it's name. Do the same for keys as well.

3. Open up finder, press Go and press ALT, this will bring up the option to go to your Library. Click on that, find Mobile Devices -> Provisioning Profiles -> and delete everything from there.

4. Go to Member Center and revoke every certificate you have, delete all existing provisioning profiles.

5. Open xCode, open your project and in General select your team, under it you will get a warning and a button which says fix issue, click on that. After it is done, build your app to a real device(not simulator) and exit xCode.

6. Go to Member Center and go to Certificates, you will see that xCode has created a new one. Download that, and add it to your Keychain Access.

7. Add WWDR to Keychain Access.

8. Try archiving, it should work now!

Note: In Build Settings set code signing to automatic.
