An Apple development profile is required when building an iOS application

Targets iOS
1

I have a developer License now, but still getting this error message when trying to build Ios app in Xojo. Any help would be great!

followed instructions here - On-Device testing during development — Xojo documentation

You did get an Apple Developer Account?

You need to apply for a Developr account from Apple to get the profiles.

yes, got that this morning and downloaded the profile. Is there something I need to do in xojo to apply it? I have the team set to myself and Build for development set

You are not the first to have profile problems.

I have seen some guides posted in the forum to make sure you do all the steps needed for make this work. Maybe even Xojo has a document or blog. As I don’t do iOS I don’t have the links at hand.

Yes, I’ve seen many posts but none seem to address the issue I am having. I bought the dev account in hopes that would solve my problems as I couldn’t get it to work with a provisional license either (it should). Getting frustrated after spending money on xojo and the apple dev account and still can’t get the app on my phone that works fine in the simulator

Did you double-click it once downloaded?
You shouldn’t use a wildcard application identifier either.

Maybe you like to read a few blog posts:

How to Publish macOS and iOS Apps to the App Store Directly from Xojo

and

Deploy iOS apps to your devices without an Apple Developer Membership

yes and no wildcards, thanks

I’m not trying to deploy to the app store, but I’ll check the first link just in case. The second link looks useful except the link to the actual xojo article is broken within the text :frowning:

It is a 10 year old article, so it’s unlikely that any information on that linked page (developer.xojo.com) is still relevant (iOS and Apple change frequently). Due to some poor choices, the entries on the Internet Archive are useless.

Edit: Attempted to clarify which link I was talking about, as it was kind of Christian to recover the blog post. I wasn’t trying to disparage his contribution.

Yes, that is the problem I’m having. I try all sort of things mentioned in old articles and still can’t get the xojo project to actually build

I’m decent at internet research, but unfortunately I don’t use Xojo iOS so I don’t have much advice. I vaguely feel like there’s some kind of “point Xojo to the development profiles” fix, but I don’t have any information about it.

Greg makes an app called Profile Triage that may be able to help identify an issue:

Have you told Apple about this specifc device?

does the provisioning profile include this device?

Thanks Tim, I’ll give that a try in a bit!

Yes my iphone is on the device list

ok i finally got it going. I scrapped all my old xcode projects and restarted and finally got it running on my phone. I have a feeling it was getting mixed up with the project I set up from my provisional license that I could never get running on my phone. Thanks all for your suggestions and help
