I have an iPhone on which until last evening was able to run an app without issue , my iphone is added to the developer portal and signing is set to auto in Xcode 9, and it was running fine. Since last morning I have started receiving error

A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found

I can see the device is on developer portal , also I am able to install the app on other phone from Xcode 9 just fine. So clearly this is not developer portal related issue.

I have restarted / fully restarted iPhone a few times and also quite Xcode 9 as well, but doesn't seems to work.

How can this be solved ?

Never mind this was solved as follows,

Removed the derived data folder and removed the device from Xcode , restarted Xcode, and connected iPhone again , this time it reindexed the device and all worked just fine.

    In my case, disconnecting & reconnecting is all it took to get past the `A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.` error. – clozach Feb 12 '18 at 23:05

    ¿Where I found derived data? `Xcode -> Preferences` go to `Locations` tab and you can see it. – equiman Sep 27 '18 at 15:47

Fixed this issue by going to developer.apple.com/account > Certificates, IDs & Profiles > Provisioning Profile > Development, create or download an existing valid provisioning profile and double-click it. It should add the provisioning profile to the device you're using.

XCode 9.

If you are sure:

  • The provisioning profile was created correctly.
  • Added UDID (your iPhone / iPad) to devices category.

If manual import Provision Profile, but cannot build to your phone, then try to Check "Automatically manage signing" in your project > General > Signing

It work for me.

Maybe have a try of this: 1. Open the Keychain Application 2. Choose "Session" in the left panel 3. Try related keywords(your apple id, your team name, etc.) in the upper right search input, you can find all your certifications, some of them may expired, just delete them, and restart Xcode/ reconnect your device.
