I recently updated to Xcode 8 and as I click on "download" option next to provisioning profile in Xcode/Preferences/Accounts/View Details menu it changes to gray and does not download. After restarting Xcode the download button is again clickable and the problem persists.
Manual download of provisioning profile and dropping on Xcode icon don't add the profile to specific developer account in Xcode 8. Anyone had this problem recently and solved it? I checked all questions related to new Xcode version, still no solution.

Sometimes your Xcode project file gets messed up, especially if you have an old project and first created it with an older version of Xcode/iPhone SDK.
What you need to do is open up the project file in a text editor, search for the 'long string' from your error and manually erase that line.
In fact, you should just go ahead and erase any line that points to any provisioning profiles. Then reopen the project in Xcode, go to the settings and reselect your new profile. This clears up issues like that most of the time.
The lines that point to the provisioning profiles will look like this:
PROVISIONING_PROFILE = "487F3EAC-05FB-4A2A-9EA0-31F1F35760EB";
"PROVISIONING_PROFILE[sdk=iphoneos*]" = "487F3EAC-05FB-4A2A-9EA0-31F1F35760EB";
These settings have now moved to Preferences > Accounts:

I'm seeing the same issue where the download button is grayed but the download never seems to complete.
I manually deleted all the profiles in finder and clicked on download. Even if the download doesn't seem to complete, the profile is still downloaded...
