I have been working the whole day to try to build my app on my device.

I get this error when I try to build on my device.

I have been reading about this problem but do not really understand how to fix it. The following is where I would believe the problem is. I am new on this so I have no experience how to solve this.

When I open the "Dont Code sign" I have "Automatic profile selector (recommended)" with two lines I can select and also "My profile for dev" with one line to select. Do not know if this is where the problem is?

Any help is appreciated.

Here's how I did it.

  • Shut down Xcode.
  • Back up the project.pbxproj file.
  • Edit the project.pbxproj file and remove lines of instances where it mentions the old provisioning profile.
    • eg. Delete line:
    • PROVISIONING_PROFILE = "8D024EDA-DC05-40DF-B3EB-536392615EE2";
  • Restart Xcode and perform a full clean of the project.
  • It should then build without warnings.

Enjoy!
