How to Resolve Build Error Code E001 – Unable to Generate Build with Provisioning Profile

Introduction

Build Error Code E001 with the message “Unable to generate build with the provisioning profile provided” indicates that the provisioning profile used for signing your iOS app is invalid or out of sync. Follow these steps to delete the old profile settings in the BuddyBoss App plugin, regenerate fresh profiles, and then rebuild your app successfully.

Delete Existing Provisioning Profiles

1. In WordPress, go to BuddyBoss App > Configure > iOS Settings.
2. Scroll to the Provisioning Profiles section.
3. Untick Automatically generate provisioning profiles and click Save Changes.
4. Scroll back down and click the ✕ next to each listed provisioning profile to delete them.

5. Click Save Changes again to confirm removal.
   

Re-enable Automatic Provisioning Profiles

1. On the same iOS Settings page under Provisioning Profiles, tick Automatically generate provisioning profiles.
2. Click Save Changes to trigger generation of new, valid provisioning profiles.
   

Do I Need to Generate a New Build?

Yes. You must create a new iOS build so that the updated provisioning profile settings are embedded in your app. 

Troubleshooting and FAQs
