Answer 1

I got that same bloody msg. Seems to happen every time my provisioning profiles expire. It happened again just now; I clicked Renew, downloaded the new profiles, installed them in Xcode, and there's that msg again.

So then in the Portal I clicked "Edit" by the profile, then Modify, and on the resulting screen the checkbox by MY name -- for which cert to use -- was unchecked! So I checked the box, hit Submit, and when the new profile became available installed the thing in Xcode. I'll be darned; the blasted thing worked.

How in the world that thing became UNchecked I'll never know, but now at least I know what to do.

For the iOS Provisioning Profile error -

Valid signing identity not found

see Apple's published steps to resolve this problem, titled What does 'Valid Signing Identity Not Found' mean and how do I resolve it?.

It sounds like you don't have a development certificate in your keychain that matches one of your provisioning profiles.

Make sure that you have the dev cert and you have matching provisioning profiles. Also, if your app is using the keychain, make sure to include an Entitlements.plist (containing your app id, so your apps can share a "slice" of the keychain) in your project.
