iOS deployment question

Folks:
Ok, what I got working was a profile that was named “iOS Team Provisioning Profile”. There was a wildcard version, and a version with my app ID attached. Both worked. The specific profiles I created for the app itself gave the error.

Since this is an app that I will only use myself, on my iPhone, that’s good enough.

I’ll go back and carefully check your suggestions, though Scott. At present, I need some lunch. Been staring at the screen too long.

Best,
Bill
