Valid Distribution profiles vanish from the Xcode Organizer?

Question

Since 2 weeks ago, every time I manually add any Distribution Profiles (Ad-Hoc or AppStore Profiles) to Xcode, they vanish from the Organizer in a matter of minutes, or when I press the Refresh button (the one next to "Automatic Device Provisioning" in Organizer).

How do I solve this problem?

(note that I've already tried to start fresh without success: cleaning KeyChain Access, revoking certificates, deleting profiles, and do it all step by step since the beginning)

Before they vanish from Xcode do they work? – Wakeup

Yes, but it happens to ALL distribution profiles, although there is no problem with Development profiles. – Garvey

Have you found an explanation for this by any chance? I'm facing the exact same issue – Bourbonism

Same problem here; it's driving me mad. I've offered a bounty for an answer to this. – Candless

I filed a bug report with Apple, who have replied to say it's a known issue and a fix is being worked on - great news! If anyone knows of a workaround in the meantime I'd love to hear it. – Candless

If I recall correctly, the workaround that worked for me was to clean like you did, then disable automatic provisioning, and finally add the profiles manually. – Unsocial

Answer 1

If you're not logged in as the "Team Agent" in XCode, that might explain the reason why the distribution provisioning profiles are disappearing.

Which version of Xcode are you using?

Thanks for the suggestion, but not the case here; I am logged in as the Team Agent. I'm on Xcode 4.3.2. – Candless

Answer 2

I've had this problem for several weeks also. I think this was a bug with Apple's provisioning back-end. Today the Member Center was down for maintenance. When it came back up I did refresh from the organizer and all my Ad Hoc and Distribution profiles were automatically imported (as it should be).

Try a refresh from inside the organizer and see if it works.

Answer 3

I'm now facing such kind of issue, In the previous version of xcode, it works fine, But when I upgrade to 4.3.2, distribution profile missed, tried many ways, but all failed. I have not removed previous version of xcode, but same issue happened. Suggest to not upgrade to latest xcode version, I will pending until facing blocking next time, My product has been delayed because of this issue, what a pity.
