No provisioning profile for this bundle ID

iOS / Xcode · last reviewed 2026-11-10

The error looks like this

error: No profiles for 'com.acme.hello' were found: Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles

Why it happens

The App ID or profile does not exist for this exact bundle ID, or Xcode is not allowed to create one.

How to fix it

  1. Register the exact bundle ID at developer.apple.com > Identifiers.
  2. Create an App Store profile for it (one per extension too).
  3. Or enable "Automatically manage signing" and pass -allowProvisioningUpdates to xcodebuild.

Not sure this is your error? Let ReleaseMedic read the whole log

Build logs are long and the last line is rarely the real cause. ReleaseMedic finds the first real error, explains it and gives the steps — free, and the log never leaves your computer.

$ npx releasemedic log build.log

Or pipe a build straight in: cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease 2>&1 | npx releasemedic log -

Catch it before you build

Most release errors come from project settings you can check in seconds — signing, SDK levels, privacy manifests, permissions, push and login setup.
