Question

Having issues doing this.

I was experiencing the same issue in Xcode 6. I fixed it by:

1. Go to Apple Developer > Create a new App ID specifically for the app with Explicit App ID like com.mywebsite.MyApp. Don't choose Wildcard App ID option.
2. Go to Provisioning Profiles > Distribution > Update App ID (for MyApp) to the new one I just created.
3. Generate a new profile.
4. Download and install.
5. It doesn't hurt to Clean before Archive.
6. Go to Organizer > Export > Save for Ad Hoc Deployment. Xcode will give me an error on the first attempt. I had to click Try Again. That's when it started to pick up the new profile.
