Xcode could not find a valid private certificate/valid key-pair for this profile in your keychain [duplicate]

Answer 1

You have to edit you provisioning profile in iOS provisioning portal. Select "edit" button and then "Modify". Enter the required info (your name, devices, appl. id).

When the system shows that the profile is "Active", go to Certificates section of the iOS provisioning portal and check your development certificate. It should have your provisioning profile listed in the "Provisioning Profile" entry.

After then, you can download the profile and drop it into Xcode.

Answer 2

I have only been able to solve this by using Xcode -> Organizer -> Developer Profile and there clicking Export in the bottom of the right pane. This saves a consolidated .developerprofile file that you cat just open/import on the target machine.

Disclaimer: this may arguably not be what the poster originally intended to achieve. I have however not been able to successfully move private+public+cert between my machines any other way.

Answer 3

When the certificate is OK, restart Xcode to help it find it.

Answer 4

I also had this problem on 10.6, Xcode 4.2. After trying many other things, I finally just exited Xcode and restarted it. Then the error message went away. Got figure.
