How to remove iOS Provisioning Profile / Appvision Profile for Xcode?

Question

I'm new to Mac and I have to use it to develop an Ionic hybrid app for iOS. I am using Mac 10.11 with Xcode 7.

Now I got my application and want to deploy it in the app store. But I have problems with the application id. In my Xcode, when I go to the account, I can see a list of command names with two elements. One is my name with Agent for iOS and Mac. The other is my name (personal team) with Free for iOS and Mac.

The problem is in the Personal Team element, I have training profiles with the application identifier that I want to use for deployment to the application store. Since it is already here, I cannot create this application identifier again in my developer account. I tried, but I cannot find a way to remove it.

So, how can I delete this ID / Provisioning Profile so that it can use it in my developer account?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The only way I can do this is to contact the Apple Developer Program Support, after a few days and a few back and forth, they finally removed the package identifier from my personal team and I was able to add it to my profile development program (agent). I know this is not ideal, but at least if you really want to use the same package identifier, it worked for me.

Answer 2

The problem is not with the application identifier, but with the Bundle ID , unique in the AppStore.

Currently, you cannot “recover” the package identifier in any way. You can create a different application identifier with the same name, but a different package identifier.

Solution : go to your other developer program, create a new application, select a small Bundle ID, and you will go well.

Answer 3

You can select the Application ID on the developer portal in the iOS App ID to edit and delete.

If you link to your iTunes Connect , you cannot delete the list of your applications. However, you can use a different package identifier with the same application identifier . Which, in turn, will solve your problem.

For Provisioning profiles , you can edit and delete them in the Provisioning Portal .

@Alexandros Trepeklis suggested contacting Apple Developer Program Support ; they can help you remove the list of original applications.

And as @Krodak mentioned, you should read  documentation for the subject.

Answer 4

You can remove the application ID and package ID yourself through the developer portal if you have not yet sent the application to iTunes Connect . >. TL DR is that you need to add an option for your application to make Xcode generate an explicit list for your application on the portal. Once the list is available, you can delete it (and all related preparation profiles and whatnots).

Step by step:

• Add features to your application, such as push notifications.

2. Now go to the developer portal. Go to Account> Certificates, Identifiers and Profiles> Application Names. You should see the application identifier with the prefix "XC"

3. Click on the identifier of the application you want to remove and click on the "Edit" button.

4. Click "Delete" at the bottom of the list.

5. Confirm removal. This should free the application identifier and package identifier for use with another command.
