I'm trying to distribute an iOS app without having a device. I did purchase a developer account and set up signing and provisioning profiles for distribution.
I can see my profiles in Xcode. But when I choose the "Archive" menu item, Xcode reports "No provisioning profiles with a valid signing identity (i.e. certificate and private key pair) were found."
and suggests I click on "Fix issue" to download one. But then I get "Unable to create a provisioning profile because your team has no devices registered in the Member Center. Please connect a device, enable it for development, and add it to the Member Center using the Organizer."
My problem is similar to Could I submit app to appstore without ios device?. But I have a provisioning profile. Interestingly Clocksmiths question to AmitApollo's answer seems to be spot on but doesn't have an answer.
