No identities were available

I've been trying to figure out how to add images thru markdown from my Mac desktop to show screenshots of the App IDs from iTunesConnect and the provisioning portal, but I haven't figured that out yet as you can see. I've double checked everything, and it seems that the App ID s all match in iTunesConnect, the identifiers and the provisioning profile all match (they are all com.MWaller.OddFortune), case sensitive and all.

Can't find where I'm going wrong.

Thanks for the imgur tip! Here is what I have for my App ID's in iTunesConnect and my provisioning portal:

Are you still seeing the exact same error? Not sure if you have seen this StackOverflow article regarding this error: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10215530/no-identities-were-available-administrator-request

Yep, I tried that one. I've been getting the exact same error. Curious thing though, in step 5 of the check marked response it says: "Back to XCode Organizer - Devices. Click TEAM (Left sidebar) and click "Refresh" (right-bottom). You will find XCode fetch the new profile." But I have no "TEAM (Left sidebar)". I had to get the new profile by downloading it from the provisioning portal and then clicking on the downloaded file. Then the profile showed up in the device. I selected "Add" where you can choose the team from the member center, as well, hoping that would give me the "TEAM (left sidebar)" but it didn't. It just gave me a list of the provisioning profiles I already had.

I don't think it has anything to do with the team. You can have a company or individual account so if you have an individual account then you might not have a link to the team. What does your project setup look like? Select the project within Xcode and then on the right under Build Settings check under Code Signing Identity. Make sure you have the correct provisioning profile selected.

So here is the code signing section, with the new beta provisioning profile (specified for ad hoc) selected

When you click on it, you get a drop-down. I would select a specific provisioning profile in case you have multiple.

You mean like this? The "New Beta Profile" is the specific provisioning profile I'm trying to select.

Sorry, I meant to refer to the CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY. When you click on that do you see your specific certificate? If you do, then select it. If you don't then you probably did not select the certificate when you created the provisioning profile.

Here is what the drop down looks like:

And I'm selecting the only identity available. Curious, eh?

Check out this link and see if you have a similar issue.

It looks like this person had trouble transferring the private key from another machine. I'm doing all my work on one machine, and the keys are with the certificates in the keychain access.

So strange. I'm beginning to wonder if this is not a bug. Before I upgraded to the latest XCode, the one after XCode 5, the 5.01, the program just crashed on me entirely when I tried to download identities. Now it just tells me I need an administrator to download the identities.

I tried deleting and reinstalling XCode, no luck. Also built my app from scratch (thankfully, it's a simple app). No luck. Anyway, I'll pester Apple a bit with my technical help request. As well.

Well @Amit I was able to validate, but only using an app store provisioning profile. Wasn't able to validate at all with an ad hoc provisioning profile. Maybe it's just a bug that will get fixed. I'm curious to know whether y'all are able to validate an app with an ad hoc provisioning profile on your machines. Thanks again for all your help.

I'm going to skip the ad hoc validation, see if I can beta test the app on some other machines, and then finally submit to the app store.

I haven't done an ad-hoc installation since the update so I guess I will find out when I do one.

You might want to upload it to a third-party service like Imgur.com and then link it here using markdown.
