MonoTouch / MonoDevelop Ad Hoc Build Failure But Project Bundle ID and Provisioning Profile Match

Question

I'm running into a really vexing problem with MonoTouch/MonoDevelop. I'm trying to build an app for Ad Hoc distribution in MonoDevelop for the iPhone.

I've followed these steps:

1. Requested, created, and installed my Distribution certificate on the iOS Provisioning Profile.
2. Registered all of the needed devices.
3. Created the needed App Id (9UKRFP74U9.com.lc.sjd.calc).
4. Created a new provisioning profile for the newly created App Id and downloaded it.
5. Created an "Ad Hoc" configuration in MonoDevelop.
6. Set the Bundle Signing - Identity to my Distribution ID.
7. Set the Bundle Signing - Provisioning profile to the newly created and downloaded Provisioning Profile.
8. Even set the custom entitlements file to a created plist file.

But, and here is the big issue, I am getting a build error when I try to compile in my newly created Ad Hoc build configuration with the following warning:

Error: Project bundle ID '9UKRFP74U9.com.lc.sjd.calc' does not match specified provisioning profile 'D8B55EE9-4CB6-45E9-846A-3C94F8A51907' (SJDCalculator)

But, importantly, when I check the iPhone Configuration Utility, the Profile Identifier and App Identifier are an exact match.

The Build Output only gets to "Detecting signing identity...", then the ------ Done ------- line.

I would really appreciate any help you can offer. I have been banging my head on this one for a couple days.

Answer 1

The solution discussed in the above comments was to not set the Bundle ID to:

9UKRFP74U9.com.lc.sjd.calc

Instead it should be set to:

com.lc.sjd.calc
