Xcode 16 issues with Provisioning Profiles

[knepe]

Issue details

Recently I upgraded Xcode to latest, 16.0. After this I cannot see new/updated Provisioning Profile in the RoboVM menu -> Create IPA (using Android Studio with latest plugin). It does not find the profile if I specify it in the gradle file with iosProvisioningProfile either. I think (just guessing as I dont know much about this) that they changed the location of where they store the profiles from ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles and maybe that is why RoboVM cant find it as it looks in the old directory? I can see my new profiles in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles but not in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles, and if I try to copy the new profiles to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles they get autodeleted instantly.

Reproduction steps/code

Upgrade to Xcode 16.0 and create a new Provisioning Profile in developer.apple.com and Download/import it in Xcode and try to use it when signing with RoboVM

This need to also search in the new directory I think?

[knepe]

A workaround that worked for me was to:

1. move out the provisioning profiles from the old directory
2. remove the old the directory
3. create it again
4. copy all profiles (old ones and new ones from Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles) into old directory again

Then it does not delete them instantly and I can sign my apps

How do you list the provisioning profiles?

[dkimitsa]

@hapaboyjr you can just link new location to old one

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