Delete provisioning profile from Xcode 5

Question

I\'ve struggling with this for hours. I have 2 same provisioning profiles I\'ve created and the new profile didn\'t substitute the old one (which expires 6 days earlier than

Answer 1

If you delete the profile from the Apple development a/c and hit refresh in XCode (Using xcode>Preferences>Accounts) then these profiles will be gone.

You can remove them from the this directory on your machine: "~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles"

Answer 2

In my case this worked: Right click on a provisioning profile in the accounts tab -> view details panel. Click the option show in finder -> delete them directly in finder.

Answer 3

To remove any reference to an unwanted provisioning profile from XCODE 5 here is what I did:

1) Browse into the YOURAPP.xcodeproj directory

2) With vi I opened up the project.pbxproj file

3) Find PROVISIONING_PROFILE="ID_OF_THE_PROV_PROFILE_YOU_WANT_TO_DELETE"

In every instance I saw this in the file I just set it to "" and XCODE never gave me an error again.

Answer 4

From my experimentation i believe that Xcode pulls the provisioning profiles straight from the dev center.

i say this because i created a new provisioning profile from the dev center and it appeared in Settings > Accounts before i double-clicked the .mobileprovision file.

So basically, delete the profiles from developer.apple.com

Answer 5

You probably don't need to delete the duplicate profiles. Just go to Xcode / Preferences / Accounts / / View Details and hit the refresh button.

I did this and my duplicate provisioning profiles disappeared. Now when I post builds to TestFlight the distribution lists are all correct.

Answer 6

For all the people who are seeing the profiles magically reappear after deleting them and hitting refresh, simply wait a few minutes after deleting and before hitting the refresh button.
