Where are now the provisioning profiles?

Running trough the maze of certificates, identifiers and profiles, I have got myself in this confusing situation.
I would like to remove from the standalone settings some double provisioning profiles, but the "library/MobileDevice/Provisioning profiles/" now hold only some of them.
See all these screen shots and see if they make some sense...

Hi Trevix,

maybe this post from the LC mailinglist will help?

Code: Select all

As of Xcode 16 provisioning profiles are no longer located in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
The old directory is not wiped during Xcode update but it's no longer updated from the Xcode when new profiles are added.
The new location is ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles.

I discovered this after creating new iOS profiles. 
They were no longer installed at ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/ and LiveCode could not find them.

The solution is to delete the old 'Provisioning Profiles’ folder (make sure to first copy out any non-expired profiles) and then make 
it a symlink to the new location:
s ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning\ Profiles ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles
Best

Thanks. I could not find the directory (and I really searched for it...)
Just to know: in order to work I did

Code: Select all

ln -s ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning\ Profiles ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles

Sorry, I only remembered that post and thought it could help.
I have Xcode 16.4 and just checked:
My profiles are still here: ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/

Maybe that post only applies to NEWLY created profiles?

Ah, OK, so I guessed right. :-)
