Courses Plus Student 1,602 PointsCan't deploy application to iPhone
I've been following the Build A Simple iPhone app tutorial, and I got to the Device Installation video. Sadly, I typed my password wrong after clicking "Use for Development" for my iPhone, and now I can't deploy it at all.
The error I get is: Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid, non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains
What do I do?

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou could try quitting Xcode and trying to connect again. In addition, there two things that you can check:
Make sure you have the certificate in your Keychain (Keychain Access is a separate app on your Mac OSX):
Within Xcode make sure you have the right provisioning profile selected:

Courses Plus Student 1,602 PointsI don't have the certificate, and in the provisioning profile it just says, "iPhone Developer" not matching anything. How do I get the certificate?

Treehouse Guest TeacherIt sounds like you would need to redo the steps in the Device Installation video. Make sure you close out Xcode, remove your device and then start over.

Courses Plus Student 1,602 PointsI've tried doing that, but I can't seem to get back to the state in which it will allow me to re-enter my information. Is there a way to remove my phone or something so I get the "Use for Development" button back?

Treehouse Guest TeacherIn that same window on the left sidebar under Library, click on Provisioning Profiles and hit refresh at the bottom. It should prompt you to create a certificate.

Courses Plus Student 1,602 PointsOkay, I've done that, and I get "Too few items in teams." What should I do there?

Treehouse Guest TeacherI've never encountered that error but here's a post where people share the solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12171278/too-few-items-in-teams

16,395 PointsI just had the "Too few items in Teams" as well. The solution was to go to the Provisioning Portal and create a new profile specific for my domain name, in my case "com.rocking-mm.*" After that I right-clicked on my iPhone listed in Organizer, unplugged it, then plugged it back in. It then asked me for my Apple ID and password again, and it downloaded the updated provisioning profile -- you may need to go to Library > Provisioning Profiles, and click the refresh button to have it try to re-download the profiles.
After a bit of fiddling around along the lines above, I was able to get it working. Good luck :)
