ARKit and Xcode 9 requiring a provisioning profile

I'm brand new to iOS development, Xcode, Swift, etc. I just upgraded to Mac 10.12.6 Sierra and downloaded the new Xcode 9. I just want to deploy a simple ARKit app to my iPhone for good hobby fun. I'm not a professional iOS developer writing some huge app for profit (TL;DR: I have no interest in spending $99 USD/yr for a developer license just so I can make fun little apps for my own private use!).

So I open Xcode 9 and create a new Augmented Reality project:

I then fill out project properties:

So it starts complaining that my project requires a development team:

According to this answer, the solution is to uncheck the "Automatically manage signing" checkbox. So I do that, but now I see a new set of errors:

Searching for "xcode requires a provisioning profile" doesn't seem to kick up any helpful results. Any ideas what the fix is here?

Update

Per @rickster's suggestion I re-checked the "Automatically manage signing" checkbox, which then allowed me to select a Team. I selected my logged in account ("Personal Team"), and after a few seconds a new error has appeared:

"Failed to create provisioning profile."

Any idea as to why this is failing and what the fix is?

Solution

  • You just need to plug your phone into your computer and keep the phone from locking. Then go back to the main General tab in your project and Xcode should automatically create the provisioning profile for you. HTH!
