Missing Provisioning Profile :Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision

I tried to clear out the provisioning profiles and none of it did help. What changed from the previous XCode version to this one is the build system. By changing your build system back to the legacy one, this was resolved for me.

You can switch out the build system under file > workspace settings (or project settings) and then select Legacy Build System under Build System (see screenshot).

Good luck!

Edit: As of cordovo iOS 5.0.0 the new build system is now supported. Changelog can be found over here: https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2019/02/09/cordova-ios-release-5.0.0.html

If running/building from the CLI, use this command to use the legacy build system instead of the new one

cordova build ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"

You can also create a new build.json file at the root of your cordova project, if you don't already have one, and add the following json data. This basically tell the build process for "ios" to use the legacy build system. It will automatically add the build flags in the build.json file to your build command e.g. cordova build ios --prod will also run as though it was typed as cordova build ios --prod --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0".

{
    "ios": {
        "debug": {
            "buildFlag": [
                "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
            ]
        },
        "release": {
            "buildFlag": [
                "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
            ]
        }
    }
}
