Answer 1

For deleting provisioning profile we can use iPhone Configuration Utility software.

iPhone Configuration Utility Software -> Install this software -> Open Software -> Provisioning Profiles -> find list of your all profile -> Press Backspace button, it will ask to delete provisioning profile ->Click on delete provisioning profile button. So it will remove it from your existing Xcode application and even from your PC.

Answer 2

In the Xcode Preferences, go to Accounts, then go to your apple ID, then click "View Details" Click the provisioning profile which you would like to delete, then press the "delete" key ONCE. Then click the refresh icon for manually update the list(pretty counterintuitive...).

Using this method I was able to delete all but one copy of the same provisioning profile, after which the delete does nothing.

Answer 3

I am using "iPhone configuration utility for Mac OS x" provided by apple for managing my all provisioning profiles for Xcode 5.

From apple's website:

iPhone Configuration Utility lets you easily create, maintain, encrypt, and install configuration profiles, track and install provisioning profiles and authorized applications, and capture device information including console logs.

You can download it from here

You can delete the provisioning profile:

1. Open the utility and select the provisioning profile from the list.
2. From the top menu select "Edit" than "Delete"

Answer 4

I've figured out that it takes some time interval to sync between local path of the provisioning(~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DeveloperPortal) and the iTunesConnect server. So once you have deleted your provisioning profile on the local path and on the iTunesConnect server (you should remove both for clearing), you need to wait at least 5 minutes, otherwise you will see the files you've deleted again on the local path when you try to press 'fix it' button in Xcode.

Answer 5

All of the methods mentioned so far will still fail to delete certain "Managed by Xcode" profiles, which you may find will continually re-appear no matter what you do to delete them.

The problem seems to be that certain profiles are auto-generated by Xcode/Apple Developer Centre based on the App Ids you have. In my case I see one "Developer" profile per app ID (including the wildcard).

I would imagine that the only way to get rid of these is to remove the App Id itself through the Dev Centre. Often this is not possible since the Dev Centre will complain that the app "...exists in the App Store so it cannot be removed" - even when the app in question is not actually in the store.

Answer 6

In the Xcode Preferences--> Accounts, delete your account, add account again,click on your developer ID, press refresh, select provisioning profile again under build settings.

THATS IT. ALL YOUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED
