XCode “Too few items in teams” error when refreshing provisioning profiles

Question

I\'m trying to build my apps. I\'ve installed the provisioning profiles that my team has set up. I\'ve installed my developer certificate and the WWDR certificate. But when

Answer 1

This happened to me when I use Apple Developer account which does not have valid iOS developer certificate. The certificate is either expired or never bought in the first place.

Once I log in with the valid iOS Developer account, the problem no longer appears.

Answer 2

Just a quick note if somebody from Mac Develop program lands here:

I'm brand new to Apple development, so, maybe this is a common knowledge, but I didn't ran across.

Signed up for Mac Developer program, not iOS, and tried to "Refresh from Developer Portal" with exact same error: "Too few items in teams." Tried all the steps above and elsewhere, with no success.

Ended up calling their support to only find out that this particular functionality doesn't work with Mac Dev only (no iOS Dev) membership profiles. So, manual download/import is the solution as tech on the phone told me that it looks for iOS teams, doesn't find it and errors out.

Hope this helps & saves a couple of hours of frustration for somebody.
