When I try to create a profile to build an iOS app by going to Project → General → Signing, and selecting my Team (Personal), I get two errors:

Failed to create provisioning profile.

There are no devices registered in your account on the developer website. Plug in and select a device to have Xcode register it.

And:

No profiles for 'com.my.app.id' were found

Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profile matching 'com.my.app.id'.

I tried to check many tutorials and questions but nothing helped me to solve these errors. Many URLs take me to the Apple Development website, but there I only have the option to pay for the membership, and as I understood that's not necessary to build and run an app on an iOS device.

  • Welcome to Ask Different :) Have you connected your device to your Mac? Have you selected in as the run destination?

  • Thanks for the welcome and both thanks for your comment. Apparently yes the problem was that I didn't select my device as run destination. If you answer it I would be glad to give you the best answer.

Make sure you have connected your iOS device to your Mac and selected it as the run destination.

Yes, you do not need a paid membership to the Apple developer program. You can register for an Apple developer account for free and can build and run apps on a maximum of upto three devices.

  • I am receiving exact same problems, and I search a lot to find a solution. My case is different with other. I don't have a Mac device, I subscribed a MacOS from a cloud services (MacinCloud). Therefore, I can't plug in my iPhone to the server which the MacOS is there. Can you please help me with that? Is there any solution for my case or I have to have a Mac device to link my app to my iPhone for debugging. Thank you so much

  • @Shittel You can try adding your device in the Apple Developer Provisioning Portal: stackoverflow.com/a/15804489/6995250

  • @NimeshNeema Do I need a newish iOS device to be able to uploaded to the apple store? It doesn't seem like there's a way around this error without one.
