Refresh devices in team provisioning profile managed by Xcode 7?

Question

It used to be that hitting the refresh arrow/loop button in preferences -> account would pull down a new provisioning profile with all ur new devices.

Now it just do

Answer 1

I just downloaded the profile from Member Center and hit fix issue in XCode.

I'm on OSX 10.15 and XCode 11.3 beta.

Answer 2

Add your new device id's in apple's console

Simply go to your target settings and select the General tab

Uncheck Automatically manage signing

Let Xcode complain and then re-enable the Automatically manage signing

It should have all the new devices in the provisioning profile when you make a new archive

Answer 3

Spent a lot of time trying to fix the same issue on Xcode 7 i.e. refreshing the Xcode managed provisioning profiles.

After adding the UDID in the member center, what worked for me was just removing the account from preferences -> account and adding it back again. It updated all the provisioning profiles.

I had a similiar problem and found the following - add a file called build.json in your root (same level as config.xml) with the following contents - replace the developmentTeam value with your Team Id as seen here https://developer.apple.com/account/#/membership/

{
  "ios": {
    "debug": {
      "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
      "developmentTeam": "DP7KW42777",
      "packageType": "development"
    },
    "release": {
      "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
      "developmentTeam": "DP7KW42777",
      "packageType": "app-store"
    }
  }
}

I also found that by adding the following in config.xml under

<platform name="ios">

there was no need anymore to set various Info settings, for example hiding the status bar

<config-file parent="NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
  <string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires bluetooth access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSCalendarsUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires calendar access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSCameraUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires camera access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSContactsUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires contacts access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} would like to check your location when app is active or in background</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} would like to check your location when app is active or in background</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} would like to check your location when app is active or in background</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSMicrophoneUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires microphone access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSMotionUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires motion detection access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} requires photo library access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="NSRemindersUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME} equires reminders access to function properly</string>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="UIStatusBarHidden" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<true/>
</config-file>
<config-file parent="UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
<false/>
</config-file>

and finally, by adding

<icon height="1024" src="resources/ios/icon/AppIcon.png" width="1024" />

to the icons list, I no longer needed to manually add the 1024 icon. So now all I do is build, archive and upload without having to change any settings. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

In my case nothing listed above helped on Xcode 8.

Here are the steps I tried, which eventually worked to allow Xcode to fix the problem by once again showing me the Register Device button:

• Removed apple id from Preferences > Accounts
• Re-added apple id.
• Restarted Xcode

Sidenote: In my case I think the problem was that my login expired (Xcode told me this in Preferences > Accounts). But even after clicking on Sign In Again nothing worked. I think maybe all I had to do to refresh it was sign in again and restart Xcode for the Register Device(s) button to show.

Answer 6

Problem: Some time update devices in developer account, causes sometime not able reflect on our automatic management signing even update provisioning profile in xcode account.

Solution: find provisioning profile folder and delete all provisioning. ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles

Automatic management signing will create new one. your devices will update in provisioning.
