Here is something that helped me when I was setting up my system for iOS development. You can build up various profiles in your OS that may be expired or created with an incomplete device list. This can happen when you add devices. You then have to edit your profile and update the devices available. When you download that profile and double-click it, a copy is added to your OS. I had originally thought it was smart updating my profile with the same name. Not so. Check this path on your OS: /Users/Graham/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles You might consider deleting all of them. Then download your current profile and double click on it. You will see a new file in the path above. You do not need to restart LC to see the updated profile. I switch tabs in the Standalone Builder to Windows or Mac, then back to iOS. The profile dropdown will now show the updated state of that path above. Pick the profile again and continue on.
