Xcode 8 provisioning profile won't download

Question

I recently updated to Xcode 8 and as I click on \"download\" option next to provisioning profile in Xcode/Preferences/Accounts/View Details menu it changes to gray and does not

Answer 1

The answer is here.

Its doesn't sound much but it really worked for me.

Just right click on the provision profile and click on Show in finder. Then delete all the provision profile in the entire folder.

Not goto Xcode project settings and Check the checkbox, Automatically manager signing. The xcode will do the rest for you.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. I leave the solution that worked for me:

I deleted all certificates that were expired from my keyChain, I noticed that the new certificates didn't download because I had an expired certificate related. I don't know why it seems to be an issue of my keyChain/iTunes

Answer 3

I solved it by creating my own development certificate (In Xcode) and assigning it in the development provisioning profile. After I download and double click it I was able to get it working fine.

Answer 4

Note that this UI in Xcode is a convenience and shouldn't block your work. The profiles you'd like to download are still available following these steps:

1. Visit developer.apple.com in Safari
2. Click Account and sign in
3. Click on Ceritficates, Identifiers, and Profiles
4. Navigate to the profile you're interested in and download it
5. Drag the downloaded profile onto Xcode's icon in the dock.

At this point, your profile will be installed on your Mac and usable within Xcode.

For the OP — if manually installing the profile this way didn't resolve the issue, then you're likely seeing another configuration problem or a bug. Could you clarify what you saw after you manually installed the profile and selected it in the General tab — did you get a build error or other issue?

Answer 5

I've come across same problem and nothing solved it, so i found one work around

1. Download provisioning profile directly from developer account and double tap on it, it will get install in xcode.
2. Download and install iPhone configuration utility.
3. Open iPhone configuration utility there you will find all the provisioning profile
4. Then select the provisioning profile you want to use, then it details of the profile you can see Profile identifier.
5. Copy that Profile identifier and open xcode.
6. Navigate to the code signing identity and there in provisioning profile select others and paste the copied Profile identifier.
7. Bingo!

Answer 6

I was having this same issue. Here is what I did that solved the problem for me.

• First I right clicked on each of the two profiles that would "grey-non-download" and moved to trash.
• Then I deleted the developer account within Xcode.
• I re-added the developer account, went back to details and download all.

It worked for me, hope this helps.
