Code-Signing Frustration

Thanks for the help. I did get it to load and thanks for the tip about setting “Developer Mode” on my iPhone, rather than searching around in the Apple Development site.

I must have failed to add a provision for the internet access (wifi), because it doesn’t now, but I’ll just have to check out “inclusions” in my profile and figure it out. At least I passed an obscure hurdle.

Are there any issues with obsolete provisions? I’m deleting them from the Apple ./Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/  folder. My question, though is:
Is this where the iOS build gets its provisioning profiles? Or, does it refer back to xCode? I am operating under the assumption that if I create a provisioning profile in the online Developer site, then download it, then, in the downloads folder, double click on it (with XCode running  .. or us xCode necessary?), it will get put in the correct place. AND I’m assuming that correct place is in the ./Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/  folder.
Correct?

Thanks for your help and feedback. I hope it might serve as a wakeup for those documenting the code signing and provisioning process to be aware of roadblocks that folks who don’t do this often will face,.

Best,
Bill
