When I download a mac provisioning profile, it can't be recognized by Xcode and cannot be installed. Do I need to use Xcode 4 to install it? I am now using Xcode 3.2.5 on Snow Leopard.

The version shouldn't matter-- just drag them to the Xcode app icon. I've never seen that fail.

I have dragged it into the Xcode app icon but nothing happened. The icon of my mac provisioning profile is blank, which is different from the ios provisioning profiles which has an icon with "PROV". I think there is something wrong here.

Oh, this is for Mac development? Xcode 3.2 was around before the Mac App Store. You can build Mac apps with it, of course, but if you're trying to ship them in the Mac App store, I think you need Xcode 4. Xcode 3 wouldn't know anything about Mac provisioning profiles.

I have now installed Xcode 4.0.1 but it doesn't work. When I use Xcode 4.0.1 to open the "myappname.provisionprofile" ,it still can't be recognized and imported.

as far as i know, for mac development, you just need the certificates that you install on keychain and that you use to codesign, its different from the ios process
