Graham, I can take some notes. What I did to fix it was to delete all my developer certificates from my keychain and re-activate them. That was after I realized that the reference to "identity" actually meant that it couldn't find a valid certificate. Now it seems obvious, but didn't at first. I remember some postings a while back re the need to get a new certificate. In the process, I mucked up my entire keychain and had to recover it using the wonderful "Time Machine".
Now I'm fiddling with the provisioning profile to make its setup match with the standalone settings for iOS. One thing I see as I fiddle, is multiple provisioning profile in the drop down menu on iOS settings. Each new change and download on the Apple dev site creates a new one and the name doesn't change unless I do in in the apple developer website. Haven't figured out a way to delete old ones yet, but that will come. I'm just giving these details of my thought so that if somebody decides to write up this, with all it's messiness, they might see what newbies go thru. I'm not a newby anymore, but I only work with iOS occasionally and the process seems to always be painful. I'll take some notes and if they seem relevant, I'll post them somewhere.
