I’m wondering if there is a way to smooth out this error for the user.

When I try to load my app onto my iPhone for testing, I get the following 
message from XCode:

T"he entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements 
file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile. (0xE8008016).”

I’m wondering if there is a way for Livecode to provide more diagnostic 
information about the validity of the provisioning profile. The message above 
from XCode doesn’t give much help. 

Best,
Bill
