I know this is simple, but I've read through all the questions and there doesn't seem to be a simple answer to this.
I've created an appID. I've created a mobileprovision file, downloaded it and double clicked it and that all seems fine.
How do I get this profile though to show up in XCode? and where would it show up?
using latest version of iOS and XCode.
It's appearing, evidently it just takes time to appear.
File used by Apple Xcode, a software development IDE often used for creating iPhone apps; contains a provisioning profile, which allows an app to be uploaded to a limited number of iPhones or iPads while it is still in development.
Open Organizer in Xcode (Window -> Organizer), go to the Devices tab and select Provisioning Profiles in the left drawer. Then use the Refresh button on the bottom right.
From @mikeLspohn comment: Go to Window > Devices then right-click on your device and select Show Provisioning Profiles ... from there you can click on +/- to add or remove profiles -
Two steps:
First drag it onto iTunes. Dropping a .mobileProvision onto iTunes will install it in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
where it is supposed to go.
Second double-click on .mobileProvision to add it to the Xcode store.
It doesn't hurt to relaunch Xcode after that.
