Appreciate your help.

Answer 1

In Xcode Provisioning Profiles are created automatically on your apple account. You don not need to do it manually.

check here their will be the provisioning profile for your bundle identifier.

Answer 2

The solution below is copy of my comment in the question. Just separating for visibility.

Found a solution -

1. Connect your iPhone and double click it to select from the Apple Configurator app.
2. Select 'Profile' on left menu options.
3. Drag provisioning Profile into the space and close the window on successful addition. You may need to overwrite the item already there.
4. Go back and double click .provisioingprofile.
5. Check back in Xcode project area for profile. You're good to go!
