Making Provision Profiles Never Works

TWEAmazingApps

Hi GameSalad Community, i really need you guys help! I have a provision profile that works called iOS Provisioning Team* but other than that any other one that i make through the development portal never works, if i create one than download it and double click it (like @TShirtBooth Instructions) And try to add it to the organizer (xcode) it says valid profile not found. I went into XCode and type in " Code S" and as a signing identities found my name as an iphone developer but the provision profiles i just made were greyed out and it says "profile doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in default key chain. This provisions certificate stuff seems a lil overwhelming and i want to understand it totally, does anyone know any general tutorials on this that are really good for understanding it and can someone help diagnose the problem? thanks!

@TWEAmazingApps watch the video again, make a checklist of do's & don'ts. Run the video again and do ur process side by side as it is mentioned. You surely missing out on something.

If the problem persist you will have better luck by deleting all the certificates and provisioning profiles and start again.

Look in your key chain and check your developer keys.

I agree with 'kinzua' - make a list and follow it through, ticking off and making comments (to help in the future) as you go. It is a long and drawn out process, but you will get there in the end!

Okay I know why. When you have it on two computers you must export the keys from the first computer you installed them on. You can't just copy them. apple tells you how do export keys for another computer on the developer website.

Also, try watching FryingBaconStudios videos on this. They really helped me!

@kinzua @FryingBaconStudios @petercoupe ok i'll try to do it again, but as another note, i have another computer we are developing on and i notice that every-time we want to update our gamesalad viewer (when they come out with a new update) we have to do it on that computer for some reason but it doesn't work on my computer if we update the gamesalad viewer on our devices.

to be honest i have watch that video over and over and done the steps and i believer the problem lies with the cerfticates, i dont know much about these things, but even the provisioning profiles that worked on all my devices before, now they are coming up with that same message. I think i need to delete all certificates and provisioning profiles and start again like @MarkOnTheIron said. I'll try both solutions and update you guys, thanks!

for some reason when i look at my keychain access i have two developer certificates now (every since i was trying to do something to get it to work) and both of them have my name but different dates so in all i have 3 certificates (two developer certificates in my name and 1 distribution) maybe i have been working on the wrong certificate all along?

thanks so much everyone! i started from scratch and did everything step by step and it worked (requested a new certificate and everything).
