Remove Provisioning Profiles

Where is the Provisioning Profile on my Mac and how do I delete it?
A friend who is a Developer asked if I would test a couple of apps on my iPod Touch and iPad which I gladly did. The Profiles already expired but they're still on both of my devices. I tried to Remove them in the General section of Settings on both my devices but they keep returning each time I sync them with iTunes. I've also tried to deleted the demo apps from iTunes but again the Profiles still return. How do I delete these profiles?
Please forgive my ignorance on this topic, I'm just a User and know nothing about programming.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Jeff -
You should find the provisioning profile(s) in +/Users/Jeff/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles+. Before deleting anything from that folder, it's best to untether your iPod Touch and close iTunes. After that, just move the file(s) you wish to delete to the trash. In some cases it's possible for a profile to remain locked after iTunes is closed. If that happens, you should be able to remove the lock by restarting your Mac.
The steps are similar for Windows iTunes btw, but the exact location may depend on the Windows version. For XP see [How to Remove a Provisioning Profile from iTunes on Windows XP|http://mobilestrategist.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-remove-provisioning-prof ile-from.html].

  • Has anyone received the removing provisioning profile will change settings on your iPone?

    I just received an alert that my Provisioning Profile Expiration "ci_4065laurene" will expire in 29 days.  I have no idea what that means.  It's the original iPhone 2G on the Edge network. Running 3.1.3 (7E18) purchased in 2007. Everything works great and still has the original battery.  AT&T said call apple and they said it's probably and APP that will expire.

    It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to report the phishing attempt to Apple.

  • On-device update to iOS 8 removes provisioning profile?

    My iPads are losing their provisioning profile and therefore their WiFi Payload after the iOS 8 upgrade.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a fix/workaround? I'm trying to avoid having to touch every one of my iPads just to install the management profile.

    Try a reset of the ipad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Remove Provisioning Profiles osx 10.7

    hello,
    there is a discussion about deleting Provisioning Profiles, but it is perhaps too old.
    in osx 10.7 seems not folder "MobileDevice" to find the profile and pull to trash. and generally no profile is to be found in the system.
    does it mean there is no profile installed at the mac or do I simply not find it?
    we have problems to install an app at the ipad and guess that we have to delete the old profile...

  • Does "reset all settings" remove the provisioning profiles on my iphone?

    Basically have a few installed provisioning profiles and wonder if resetting all settings will remove it.

    Take it to an Apple store to be evaluated; without a working power button, there is no further troubleshooting you can do.

  • A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found

    I have built an enterprise APP. It has been installed in hundreds of machine. It can run smoothly at the begining. After two months, a few of the machice cannot open the APP anymore. I have tried to read its crach log and it has nothing. Finally, i found out the reason by tracing the console log.
    The error is "A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found".
    So I check if the file exist but it is disappeared. The user have not removed the profile.
    At last, I tried to install the profile again, it is still not working even the profile is installed. Is there anyone who have the same issue? Thank you very much

    Sorry that I have made a mistake. A wrong profile is installed.

  • Provisioning Profile Expiration Pop-up

    When I woke up my iPhone this morning it had this message on the screen:

    Do I need to do anything about this?
    Thanks for your assistance!
    Peter

    I'm retired, so I don't have any IT folks to blame. Is this profile something an app has created? If so, is there any way to find out what app created it, so I can contact the developer?
    The "CST" in the message makes me wonder if it has to do with the upcoming time change, but March 8 is six days short of the time change.

  • Provisioning profile for app store?

    My iphone is giving me a message saying that the provisioning profile for my app store is going to expire tomorrow.  I have the option to remove the profile, but won't that cause my app store to quit? Not sure how to restore the profile...
    Help!

    hello ,
    i found the solution...  ;-)
    i installed the os lion and xcode 4.1 and the problem was solved
    but to submit your app to mac apple store with xcode, you must modify this file
    Entitlements.plist
    in the following path :   ../Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform
    You must change "application-identifier"  to  "com.apple.application-identifier"

  • IPhone: Cannot select my provisioning profile - tried all suggestions

    I am attempting to load an application onto an iPod Touch. I have followed the PDF document at the iPhone Program Portal to the letter, creating a development certificate with name and e-mail address that matches my agent information, a device profile, app IDs with several variations, including com.companyname.myapp, com.companyname.*, * and myapp, and provisioning certificates (one at a time) based on these.
    Both the Apple WWDR certificate and my developer certificate are present in my keychain. It appears I have two keychains - system and login. I have loaded both certificates into one, the other or both keychains.
    In XCode, my provisioning profile appears in the organizer, and also appears on the device. In the properties for my project I have set the bundle identifier to the matching variation of the app id used with the device profile, both with and without the Apple prepended identifier. Under the Code Signing Identity I have tried the default value, no value and "iPhone Developer: FirstName LastName."
    I have removed all the components from the program portal and recreated them from scratch several times.
    No matter what the permutation, my provisioning profile does not appear under the Code Signing Provisioning Profile key. Whether this field is left as the default or the name of my profile is forced in, XCode successfully builds the project with the device as a target, but upon trying to upload reports "an unexpected error 0xE8000001 during the install phase: Verifying application." I have restarted the device multiple times, without effect. I am never asked for a password to access my keychain.
    I have read all the threads in the discussion groups on this topic, and tried their suggestions to no effect. I am using the latest version of the SDK (9M2199a), my iTunes is the latest released version (NOT the developer pre-release), the device is running the latest release version of the OS (2.0.1 - 5B108), and I am running the latest release version of Leopard (10.5.4).
    Developer support recommended I file a bug report.
    Does anybody have any further suggestions?

    1. You may have to rebuild your certificates and your provisions. Soemtimes it can be hit and miss even when followign the pdf.
    2. If you already managed to get a copy of the app on the device delete it directly from the device. Sometiems the system throws an error if it can't delete it.
    3. Certificates go in the login keys.
    4. These days you can downlaod the providsion and drag it to iTunes in dock while your phone is plugged in.
    (Have xcode off when you do this since it seems to cache data)
    5. Check the console to make sure it's checked and for any error messages (minimal info)
    6. Once you've installed the certificates and the provision shut down and restart.
    7. There are 2 places to set the provision. Select the project (top level) on the left in xcode. Do a get info. iPhone Developer: Your Name (note the space after : This needs to match EXACTLY to your certificates which shoudl show up in Keychain Utility under Keys.
    8. Once you have the Developer name then select the provision. If there's none available check mobile provisions in the library and make sure it got copied there.
    9. The other place you need to set the provision is select target on left in xcode. Get Info. Set iPhone Developer: Your Name and set the provision popup.
    10. Make sure to do a full clean and then rebuild.

  • ERROR --  Cannot import distribution provisioning profile

    Any suggestions?
    Please help! Thank you so much for your time.. I've gotten so frustrated with this whole process.

    Try using iTunes to import instead. I prefer that because XCode seems to rename the provisions to something cryptic AsdfjAOSDfasdopvAMVDO.mobileprovision whereas iTunes keeps the filename unmodified YourProfileName.mobileprovision. Then if you're browsing the directory to remove a provision you know which one you're removing instead of a confusing filename.
    You can test your distribution builds by generating an Ad-Hoc profile which lets you install your distribution app on devices.

  • I've received a message on my iPad that says "The provisioning profile Enterprise Open ID will expire in 3 days" and I have no idea what that means.

    I've received a message on my iPad that says "The provisioning profile Enterprise Open ID will expire in 3 days" and I have no idea what that means.  The screen opens up to the General, Profile screen then has a place that would allow me to "Remove" this but I have no idea what this means.  Can anyone help?

    I have the same message, and NO, an IT Department has not installed software on this device.  This is my personal iPad.

  • [iPhone] How to delete Provisioning Profile, AppID (for device testing)

    Hi, on the developer portal, I'd like to get rid of the appID and provisioning profile.
    I have already deleted the certificate.
    I had removed the profile from Xcode organizer and that also removed the profile from my iPhone.
    However, http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/provisioningprofiles/index.action continues to list the profile. Its status is now marked as "Invalid" and clicking on the "Modify" button does nothing
    Does anyone know how to remove the profile from my program-portal settings. I'm assuming the profile is invalid because I've deleted the certificate.
    The ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles directory is empty and I have no other subdirectories under ~/Library/MobileDevice. So I don't know where this profile is coming from
    I'd also like to delete the appID. Does anyone know how to delete an appID
    Btw I'm deleting all this because of the problem described in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1735100

    After I added a second provisioning profile, the http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/provisioningprofiles/index.action page gave me a button to delete the first profile.
    So I was able to delete the first provisioning profile.
    I haven't found any way to delete an App ID.
    So for now, I'm just going to assume that Apple doesn't let developers remove any App IDs (even though it is the developers who create these App IDs)
    However, aside from the unnecessary clutter, I'm not concerned about this limitation
    was able to create a new App ID and I'm using the new AppID now.
    I was able to fix the problem decsribed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1735100. I'll update that thread after a while.
