iOS - What is the procedure for updating a provisioning profile in Xcode

Question

It seems like every time I update my provisioning profile, my xcode project still ends up pointing at the previous profile (I get "Code Sign Error: Provisioning Profile (long string) can't be found.") This means I have to manually do a search and replace on my profile codes in the project as described here: Codesign error: Provisioning profile cannot be found after deleting expired profile

I have to think I'm doing something wrong as this happens every time... what is the procedure for adding in a device to a profile, exporting the profile, and getting my project updated with the new profile?

thanks

Answer 1

In XCode 5 you have to go to Preferences -> Apple ID -> View Details and then press the small refresh button to the bottom left. This will update all of your current provisioning profiles.

Answer 2

1. (optional) Delete old profile in Organizer/Provisioning Profiles(if not used anymore, e.g only new device added)
2. Add New Profile in Organizer/Provisioning Profiles (Drag&Drop)
3. If you run Xcode 4, be sure to change profiles for project AND targets

... Sometimes you have to re-open project or even re-start XCode (don't know when or why).
