I am trying to set up an app in Xcode but "No provisioning files are found" under my team because I do not have a device registered in the member center. I believe I have to pay the $99 enrollment fee. If i purchase this, will I be able to code and produce apps? Is there not a way around this (free enrollment)?
-I appreciate your time. Thank you.
I understand that there is 'free provisioning and testing" but I am a little confused on what that means. The easiest way is to pay the fee to register the device right?
Free provisioning/testing on your device:
• Select your account, hit the “View Details” button and wait for them to load.
• Now create the 'signing identity' used to create a provisioning profile used for device testing - Hit the “Create” button next to the 'iOS development' label. When completed, hit ‘Done’.
• Connect your device and select it as build destination via the 'active scheme' dropdown to the right of the play and stop icons.
• In target's 'General' tab/settings:
• b. Set team id as your apple id
• c. Hit 'Fix Issue' button below the provisioning profile warning
- You may have to ‘Fix Issue' more than once - keep at it so Xcode can step thru them as needed.
• Run your app with your device selected.**
Free provisioning secrets/things you’ll want to know:
- There is a limit to how many apps you can build and test to your device.
- Maximum number of devices limit is reported as 3.
- What you can/can't do w/free provisioning is listed here:
- If this is about creating an .ipa to manually hand off, select Build For Archiving under the project menu, not ‘Run’.
- *If you have, or plan to have, a paid developer account, be sure to use a unique/different apple ID for each account.
- **Free accounts may experience issues launching apps on the watch for the first time.
Workaround: Launch the app manually on the device and click “Trust” when the security sheet appears. You should then be able to launch the app from Xcode.
