ERROR ITMS-90174: "Missing Provisioning Profile - iOS Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision."

Question

When I upload to Application Loader I receive the following message:

ERROR ITMS-90174: "Missing Provisioning Profile - iOS Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision."

I have this contained in my app folder. When I compress no matter how obvious I make the provisioning profile, I receive this error trying to upload my app for Apple.

Answer 1

If you are using Ionic / Cordova like I am see this announcement...

https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/407

It's just one setting, then re-run your Archive to Submit to the Apple Store like normal.

Go to "File" > "Project Settings..."

then select "Legacy Build System"

Answer 2

To upload a archive to AppStoreConnect I had to change the default build system in xcode10 within "File > Project / Workspace Settings" and change it to the Legacy Build system.

This worked for me

Answer 3

Access https://developer.apple.com/account

1 - Certificates, IDs & Profiles

3 - Distribution

4 - Add Button

5 - Distribution -> App Store -> Continue

6 - Choose Apple Id -> Continue

7 - Select certificates -> Continue

8 - Set Profile Name -> Continue

10 - In Xcode -> Product -> Archive, In Re-sign "App Name" make option Manually manage signing -> choose the Distribution certificate and import your provisioning profile downloaded on step 9.

Answer 4

If you submit your build to the AppStore in an IPA archive format (example: Game.ipa), make sure that the Payload folder is at the root of the archive, otherwise you'll get the error: Missing Provisioning Profile - - Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision.
