Hey, I have a macOS project that I’m trying to set up to run unit tests. I had uploaded the development certificate and provisioning profile in the **Code Signing** tab but the Xcode Test for Mac step failed with: ``` Provisioning profile "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx" doesn't include the currently selected device "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ``` The selected device in question appeared to be the one used to run the tests on Bitrise. Of course my provisioning profile doesn’t have it. And I can’t possibly know all the devices that could be used by Bitrise to run my tests. So I assume I need an auto provision step. I didn’t find a macOS auto provision step but tried [iOS Auto Provision with App Store Connect API](https://app.bitrise.io/integrations/steps/ios-auto-provision-appstoreconnect), reasoning that iOS and macOS projects provisioning work the same way. However this yields the error: ``` Checking development provisioning profiles for 1 bundle id(s) No profiles for platform: macOS ``` Am I heading in the right direction? If I can’t provision automatically, is there a manual alternative? Or is there a way to run the tests without requiring provisioning? ---

Hey steveroy, You can manually upload profiles and certificates using the certificate and profile installer step. ![27%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/bitrise/original/2X/a/a5b5d642e0e2e8a24cb200763edccc9ec5d09c13.png) Thank you, Thi ---

Thanks Thi, I gave this another shot. When using the **Certificate and profile installer** step, I get the same error as above in the **Xcode Test for Mac** step. Which is how I ended up considering the **iOS Auto Provision** step in the first place. But if that’s not the solution, and both methods fail with the same error, maybe something else is amiss. I’m curious about the error: > error: Provisioning profile “Mac Team Provisioning Profile: xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx” doesn’t include the currently selected device “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” (identifier xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). Why is it complaining about a provisioning profile for a Mac app? Shouldn’t it just need the development certificate to run the app locally? I was reading [Getting Started with MacOS apps](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/getting-started/getting-started-with-macos-apps/) and noticed this bit: > Running Xcode tests and deploying their results to Bitrise do not require any code signing files. > > There is one exception: if you set a team for your project locally, in Xcode, then Xcode will ask for that team’s Developer certificate before running the test. This is exactly my case: I have a team set in my project. So in **Code Signing** I do have my development certificate uploaded. Is that not how to resolve that? ---

It depends on the project, and if you are using the Certificate and Profile installer step, it may require both development and distribution to authenticate. Do you have a build URL? Can you also enable support access? > **[Enabling the Bitrise Support user for your app](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/troubleshooting/enabling-bitrise-support-user/)** > > If you need quick tech support from us, our onsite chat support can look into your project and fix your technical issues in the most efficient way!

Hi Thi, I did and here you go: [https://app.bitrise.io/build/2317cd9a07e386bb#?tab=log](https://app.bitrise.io/build/2317cd9a07e386bb#?tab=log) I had both the development and distribution certificates but the last time I tried I removed the latter. It didn’t work either way. ---
