Tonight I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, and upgraded to Xcode 4.3.1 (iOS 5.1). And now when I try and run debug mode on my device (iPad) I get "A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found". I have tried every suggestion in past posts on this issue. I have generated a new certificate. I have set my code signing to use the new certificate. I have updated the provisioning profile to use the new certificate. I have gone into the .pbxproj file and deleted all references to the provisioning profile. I have cleaned and closed Xcode a million times. No matter what I do, I still get the same error when trying to run on the device.

In Organizer, the provisioning profile shows up as "Valid profile" in my Library, but under the Provisioning Profiles listed for the device there are none listed. I have tried clicking the Add button and importing it manually - nothing happens. It doesn't show up. When I click on the device icon in Organizer is says "Provisioning No provisioning profiles". However when I go to my iOS Provisioning Portal online and click on the device, the provisioning profile shows up there as being associated to the device.

Any ideas? I am pulling my hair out here.

Do you by chance have two developer accounts with different sets of devices/apps? I encountered this situation (see what "iOS Team Provisioning" profile is matching "iPhone Developer"). The only way I have found to switches teams, so to speak, is to select your device and click "Add to Portal" and log in with the correct Apple ID.
