XCode 6 and Ad-Hoc distribution without XC: provisioning
Yesterday I've downloaded Xcode 6 and now I have got a problem I can't solve. In my member center I've got valid certificate and ad-hoc provisioning (distribution). Till yesterday, in Xcode 5 if I wanted to add my .ipa to TestFlight I was using Archive and selecting my valid ad-hoc profile. I wasn't even logged in in my developer account in Xcode.
Now - in Xcode 6 - nothing is working at all. Ok, I've logged in preferences, Xcode downloaded all my provisionings on Mac, but whenever I choose Export it says that I don't have matching provisioning profile and it's creating new provisioning profile with XC: prefix - which I don't want to use, because it contains all devices I have in member center - even those I don't want to include in my app!
I was trying everything from this threads:
Xcode 6 - How to pick signing certificate/provisioning profile for Ad-Hoc distribution?
but nothing is working for me. Maybe I don't understand correctly how it works and there is a trick I have to do but I would like to use provisioning profile defined by me. I was trying to create new provisioning profile, rename the old one, remove all from Mac, drag provisioing profile from desktop to Xcode icon, select correct Provisioning Profile in Build Setting all over again but I'm stuck.

My Ad-hoc profile is distribution profile.
Answer
There is no way to get Xcode 6.x to use an ad-hoc profile that doesn't contain all of the devices on your team; this is by design.
