Code Sign error: Provisioning profile 'App-name' has expired

Even though I have updated my developer certificate, renewed my distribution certificate and fully downloaded and re-added it to the organizer. Very puzzling! This turns out to be a “feature” of Apple’s development tools.

So here is how I fixed the issue:

1. Close down your problem XCode project.
2. Open up Terminal and navigate to the directory containing your project, lets call it MyApp.
3. MyApp.xcodeproj is actually a directory, so navigate inside it, cd MyApp.xcodeproj
4. Type: sudo vi project.pbxproj, and enter your admin password when prompted. You will be presented with project.pbxproj opened in the vi editor.
5. Search for ‘/* Begin XCBuildConfiguration section */’
6. Now delete every line you find starting with the key work: PROVISIONING_PROFILE, in vi ‘dd’ is the command to delete the current line.
7. Save the file and exit (Command :wq)
8. Re-open MyApp’s XCode project and rebuild.

You should now have a fully working XCode project with an updated provisioning profile.

If you have any questions, please contact me (John)

Notifies observers that the movie finished playing. The affected movie player is stored in the object parameter of the notification. The userInfo dictionary of this notification contains the MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishReasonUserInfoKey key, which indicates the reason that playback finished. This notification is also sent when playback fails because of an error.

This notification is not sent in cases where the movie player is displaying in fullscreen mode and the user taps the Done button. In that instance, the Done button causes movie playback to pause while the player transitions out of fullscreen mode. If you want to detect this scenario in your code, you should monitor other notifications such as MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification.

The problem is probably because you are running in fullscreen mode.

We have launched the music specific App, FanApp, to boost bands ability to connect with their fans and this year’s competition winner will be able to look forward to having their own custom app.

Use Your App To Communicate With Your Fans

FanApp takes all of your usual communication methods, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, SoundCloud and Reverbnation and puts them together in one place.  There is also the option for a manual feed, powered by your own unique web portal, that will allow you to put exclusive content onto the App, making it THE place to visit for your fans.

The App is available for the iPhone and Android as recent stats show that average daily usage of Apps is now 81 minutes (up from 43 minutes in 2010*, which is outstripping both desktop and mobile web usage), having an App as part of your communication mix is starting to be one of the best ways to connect with your fans.

So whether you are an up and coming band, yet to break through, or you’re an established band that wants a different way of communicating with your fans, FanApp from The App Experience will allow you to take advantage of this increasing mobile App usage, building even greater loyalty and support from your fan base.

FanApp from The App Experience

With over 10 years mobile phone development experience, The App Experience can produce Apps for all mobile phone platforms including iPhone, Android and Blackberry.

FanApp was launched by The App Experience when 2010’s Live and Unsigned winners, The Lottery Winners, asked for help in promoting their band.  With their input, we developed a format that includes all of their current promotional channels, but also allows scope for extra’s, news that is only available on this App.  Thom from The Lottery Winners had this to say about their App:

“Keeping up with technology is absolutely essential these days, and what better way than with an app. We always aim to be accessible to our fans, and ensure that they are always kept in the loop. We are absolutely thrilled with our App, and with The App Experience and we think that any other bands would be too!”

We are huge music fans and want to help up and coming bands, so our pricing structure has been designed to be as affordable as possible.  Contact us for more information.
