provisioning file problem??

Hi. I am registered as a team member of a developer account. When I try to build ma app some problems occur during the signing process. (see error messages in screenshot). I am new to all this and have no idea what the problem is :( Are there any restrictions for the development account? Is there something wrong with the provisioning profile? Many thanks in advance!

First up, if you’re new to the platform then you’d be a lot better off enabling automatic signing. Managing this stuff by hand is not a lot of fun.

Secondly, to understand those messages you need to understand why Apple platforms require a provisioning profile in the first place. My What exactly is a provisioning profile? post explains that.

As to these specific error, they indicate that you’re using a wildcard profile and that the profile’s allowlist does not allow the entitlements you’re trying to use. Your choices are:

  • Fix the profile

  • Stop using those entitlements

I suspect you’ll want to do the first one (-: In that case you need to:

  1. Create a non-wildcard App ID for your app.

  2. Add the required capabilities to that App ID.

  3. Create a profile from that.

  4. Download and install that in Xcode.

Developer Account Help covers each of these steps.

Or just enable automatic signing and let Xcode sort this out; that’s what I do (-:
