Development Profile is Required

Targets iOS
1

(First, it’s a bit embarrassing saying this is a “new topic.”)

  1. Created an identifier for the app.
  2. Created a profile.
  3. Download profile.
  4. Double clicked.
  5. Built app in Xojo.
  6. Get message about Development Profile is required.

Anyone have any idea what is wrong?

Followed steps as those? iOS QuickStart — Xojo documentation

Thanks for the quick response.

The QuickStart gets an app running in the Simulator. It does not build it for testing on device or distribution.

My app runs fine on simulator.

You might struggle to get to provisions and certs from the ‘quick start’ which is more about how to put a few controls onto an iOS screen.
This sub-sub page may be a quicker way to the info you want:

You need to create two profiles.

One for development, one for distribution.

I assume I only need the distribution profile when I’m ready to distribute. At this time I’m just trying to install the app on my phone.

Did you register your device and add it to the profile?

You also need the distribution profile to test on device.

You have an iOS development certificate on your machine as well correct?

First, thanks to everyone’s suggestions; but I finally got it to work.

It appears that Xcode changed the location where it is storing installed profiles (at least over here). As an experiment I copied the development and distribution profiles from the new location to the old location. Then built the app, and it worked.

I don’t know if the issue is a change in Xcode or that Xojo is not asking correctly or looking in the right place.

At least I can now test on my phone.

It’s known that XCode 16 has a different folder for profiles, yes.

13

Given that, is there something I can do to make the installation process work? Or, do I simply copy the profiles to the other location?

Does this thread help you?

Use the tool I linked to. It makes this easier and points out when profiles are not installed locally.

Hi @Bob_Gordon

I’m interested to know under what version of the Xojo IDE are you experiencing this to see if we need to do additional adjustments (Xojo 2024r3.1 was supposed to take care of this).

Thank you! :+1:

2024 2.1

Ah, ok. Then Xojo 2024r3.1+ should automatically fix this scenario for you.
