Xcode 8 provisioning profile won't download
I recently updated to Xcode 8 and as I click on "download" option next to provisioning profile in Xcode/Preferences/Accounts/View Details menu it changes to gray and does not download. After restarting Xcode the download button is again clickable and the problem persists.
Manual download of provisioning profile and dropping on Xcode icon don't add the profile to specific developer account in Xcode 8. Anyone had this problem recently and solved it? I checked all questions related to new Xcode version, still no solution.
Note that this UI in Xcode is a convenience and shouldn't block your work. The profiles you'd like to download are still available following these steps:
- Visit developer.apple.com in Safari
- Click Account and sign in
- Click on Ceritficates, Identifiers, and Profiles
- Navigate to the profile you're interested in and download it
- Drag the downloaded profile onto Xcode's icon in the dock.
At this point, your profile will be installed on your Mac and usable within Xcode.
For the OP — if manually installing the profile this way didn't resolve the issue, then you're likely seeing another configuration problem or a bug. Could you clarify what you saw after you manually installed the profile and selected it in the General tab — did you get a build error or other issue?
