Xcode can't download provisioning profiles, I m getting the error:

Error Downloading Profiles

Xcode encountered a problem downloading profiles for team XXX with account xxxxx@xx.com

The error detail:

Error Domain=IDEProvisioningPortalErrorDomain Code=3 \"Communication with Apple failed\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Communication with Apple failed, NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=An unexpected error occurred. Profile download succeeded but there wasn't any profile data in the payload.}

  • I tried to restart Xcode, Mac but it's not working!
  • I also tried to remove my account and add it again
  • I can login to my account via web
  • I can download provisioning profiles from developer portal and install them

  • Sign in to Apple developer centre with the same user via web. Can you login? If no, update the account details on Xcode – NSNoob Dec 28 '18 at 15:05
  • Yeah, I can login :( – raed Dec 28 '18 at 15:08
  • Hmm the error says Profile download was successful but there wasn't any profile data in the payload. Are you sure that the profiles are configured correctly? Can you manually download and install them? Or does the manual installation throw an error as well? – NSNoob Dec 28 '18 at 15:10
  • It's working manually! – raed Dec 28 '18 at 15:12

Looks like a bug with Xcode 10, and it was observed earlier with Xcode 8 as well as stated at Xcode Profiles Won't Download

As a workaround, you can try the following steps,

1) Visit developer.apple.com in Safari

2) Click Account and sign in

3) Click on Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles

4) Navigate to the profile you're interested in and download it

5) Drag the downloaded profile onto Xcode's icon in the dock.

At this point, your profile will be installed on your Mac and usable within Xcode.
