No value was provided for the parameter 'appIdName'

Question

Whenever I try to do anything with provisioning, adding devices to the portal, etc. get this error msg:

No value was provided for the parameter 'appIdName'.

I have seen this post: No value was provided for the paramenter 'appIdName' when provisioning

however this does not apply as I have followed the instructions without any success. I must create my Team Provisioning Profile manually (and any others as well) for anything to work. This is a pain and even adding a device throws this error. Any idea what is going on? Is this a common issue for others developing in iOS? I've been working in iOS for 4 years now and never ran into something like this.

My profile was set to expire. I hit renew, and got this error, followed the above article with nothing helping.

Answer 1

I've been having the same problem for days. I followed the instructions in the other post (No value was provided for the paramenter 'appIdName' when provisioning) with no luck. Here is what worked for me:

open keychain access select "login" from the keychain category select "My Certificate" from category

Delete all your certificates associated with the provisioning profile.

What I also did is clean up everything in my provisioning portal. I revoked all certificates (distribution and Development) and all provisioning profiles.

Open up organizer in Xcode, select provisioning profiles in the top left, and click refresh.

Follow the instructions to create new profiles and certificates.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I had the same problem as well and what worked for me was to follow the instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/overview/index.action

And then launch the assistant. These steps seem more current than the ones that described here:

Manage Your Workflow in Xcode - Test Your App on an iOS Device

Hopefully this will help out others.
