Provisioning Profile issue in Xcode 10.1 (10B61)

Do you have a valid/paid Developer Program account, or, are you attempting to work with Xcode's 'free provisioning'?

i believe there is something else going on because this is happening with paid and non-paid accounts.

I have this issue as well. I have a paid account (didn't know they have a free version).

I can build to a local device, but can't do simulator (unrelated, as xcode tells me it's their problem and to use a direct device).. however when it's time to select "generic device" and build i get the same message..

It's annoying to be able to see the app on an actual device working fine but not be able to archive it so I can get it on to testflight.

I've tried to follow the instructions it says as literal as possible but that build settings page is a mess of options and rabbit holes to run down and nothing i've tried up till now seems to satisfy it.

> not be able to archive

Remember, you can't archive if:

- a simulator is selected instead of a device*

- there is an error when building*

- you haven't finished the 'Prepare for Submission’ stage for that app in App Store Connect

- See: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ChangingAppStatus.html

- you've recently renewed your (required) apple developer account, and not yet updated the provisions to reflect that activity

* You must have at least one device registered in the Member Center, but it doesn’t have to be connected to your Mac/Xcode when building, in which case select ‘generic iOS/tvOS device'

- - - If this is just about testing to a device and you're getting a message that Xcode can't archive, try deleting all older versions of that app on the target device first

> build settings page

Be sure to perform an option-clean build folder via the Product menu after juggling those settings.

Good luck.
