I need help with this, since I need to test my app on several devices before publishing. The problem is that I have an Apple ID, and it seems that I can no longer have a Provisional Certificate. Is there an option that allows me to do that now in October 2016? I use xCode 7 on iOS Yosemite and PhoneGap on Windows 7/8 / 8.1 / 10 but I always get the same error. "provisioning profile missing." I appreciate your help.
You could do your tests on other iOS devices through TestFligth. You need to prepare and upload to iTunes Connect and then submit to tests through TestFligth. You can add several people to try on their devices without connecting your device to your Mac.
Effectively from Xcode 7 onwards, you can sign an application to test on a physical device with a test profile for 7 days. Then you must re-generate the signature if necessary.
I leave a reference link, but the process is quite automatic: link
