Answer 2

There are two types of provisioning profiles.

• development and
• distribution

When app is live on app store then distribution profiles works and do not need any devices to be added.

Only development profiles need to add devices.In order to do so these are the steps-

1. Login to developer.apple.com member centre.
2. Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
3. Get UDID of your device and add it in the devices.
4. Select a developer provisioning profile and edit it.
5. Click on check box next to the device you just added.
6. Generate and download the profile.
   
7. Double click on it to install it.
   
8. Connect your device and retry.
   

This worked for me hope it works for you.

Get the UDID from iTunes:

Once you have that:

1. Login to your iphone provisioning portal through developer.apple.com
2. Add the UDID in devices.
3. Add the device to the provisioning profile.
4. Download the profile again and enjoy.

Answer 4

Per May 16th 2013, using XCode 4.6.2, I had to do the following to add a device (which I do not have physical access to) to the team provisioning profile:

1. Login to the provisioning portal through developer.apple.com
2. Add the UDID in Devices
3. Select the Team Provisioning profile in Provisioning Profiles
4. Click the Edit button
5. And under devices for that provisioning profile, click Select All, or just the devices you want included.
6. Click Generate
7. Then go back to XCode and click refresh icon (bottom right) under Organizer -> Devices -> Provisioning Profiles

Sometimes it takes a while before the certificate is updated and fetched from XCode.

Hope this helps new readers.

Answer 5

I faced multiple time the same issue that I add device info to portal so I can publish build to fabric testing but device is still missing due to how Xcode is not updating team provisioning profile.

So based on other answers and my own experience, the best and quickest way is to remove all Provisioning profiles manually by command line while automatic signing will download them again with updated devices.

If this can lead to some unknown issues I don't know and highly doubt, but it works for me just fine.

So just:

cd ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/
rm *

And try again...

As of Sept 2018, Apple seems to (or a bug) block the normal way to get your XS and XS Max's UDID. Even XCode could not properly register new phones for you.

After a couple hours of digging, I figure it out:

• Connect your iPhone to your Mac.
• Navigate to  -> About This Mac.
• Click on System Report and select USB.
• Click on iPhone, and copy the value next to the Serial Number label.
• Copy and paste the value. You then need to add a – after the 8th digit.
• This is the UDID for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
