I can't download my app to my iPhone! Help!

When I go to project in Xcode and I click my team, it has an issue. It says: No provisioning profiles found.

Then when I click "Fix It," it says:

Unable to create a provisioning profile because your team has no devices registered in the Member Center. Please connect a device, enable it for development, and add it to the Member Center using the Organizer.

I've tried doing some research on it and I can't figure out the problem.

Help?

More than likely, it's because you don't have a developer's account with Apple. A developers account is $99 a year and one of the features is the ability to simulate on your iPhone. I hope this helps!

I've had my developer account for about 8 months now.

Hi Josh,

I do not think there is a problem with your developer account. The error is suggesting a problem with your provisioning profile.

I could try to type everything out, but fortunately someone already did this. Check out http://codewithchris.com/deploy-your-app-on-an-iphone/. Especially the "Configure the device for development and add the device to the member center" part.

Hope this helps.

I did all of these answers and mine still wasn't working so I needed one last sprinkle to get it running.

The part that did the trick for me was:

  1. Restarting my computer

  2. Once in xcode, go to 'Window' and 'Devices' as Passan does (shift+command+2).

  3. When you're in 'Devices' right click on your phone icon and click 'Show in Run Destinations Menu'
