Why can't I run my xcode app on my phone? [closed]

Question

I've been trying for a long time to run this test project on my phone. The error is: Failed to install embedded profile for com.clothingapp4.WebView-Test : 0xe800801a (This provisioning profile does not have a valid signature (or it has a valid, but untrusted signature).)

What I've tried:

• Turned on automatic signing
• Went to settings -> general -> vpn and device management on my phone but nothing was there
• Unlink and link my phone
• rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
• Restarted everything

I haven't payed the $99 for apple developer, but it's supposed to work without that?

Here's the full error message if you'd like that:

Answer 1

Same for me. This helps:

1. 1. Quit Xcode.

   2. Go to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles and delete all your profiles.

   3. Relaunch Xcode.

   4. Try again.

Answer 2

As of 16/09/2025 ~1:00 UTC, there seems to be an ongoing problem affecting provisioning profile generation. It is currently under investigation by the Apple developer team.

EDIT:

As of 4:00 PT/11:00 UTC the issue seems to be resolved.
If the problem still persists, try the following the steps described in Muslim Ismailov's answer (I personally cannot test right now though so I am not able to confirm on my side This worked for me)

1. Quit Xcode.

2. Go to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles and delete all your profiles.

3. Relaunch Xcode.

4. Try again.
