iOS Question Why always need to recreate certificate and provisioning profile?

[hongbii khaw]

Hi all,
It's frequently the error message pop out to warn about the provisioning profile, by delete and recreate all certificate file can help to resolve this problem.
Anyone can tell me what actually I did to make this happen or is that any step I should take care to prevent this to happen?
Or I misunderstood something about the b4i?

Thank you.

There is no need to recreate these files. I recreate them exactly once a year after updating the Apple account.

Which error do you get?

Something like this:

Sending data to remote compiler. Error
Out: Build settings from command line:
ARCHS = armv7
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone
CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR = /Users/<user id>/Documents/Mac Host/B4iBuildServer/UploadedProjects/<user id>/Payload
OTHER_CODE_SIGN_FLAGS = --keychain <user id>
PRODUCT_NAME = Testing321
PROVISIONING_PROFILE = 2f45f299-ed5c-4cef-8c34-0577eb8b3d6d

=== BUILD TARGET B4iProject OF PROJECT B4iProject WITH CONFIGURATION Release ===

Check dependencies
No certificate matching 'iPhone': Select a different signing certificate for CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY, a team that matches your selected certificate, or switch to automatic provisioning.
Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.3'


Error: ** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

(1 failure)

Error can be solved by recreating all the certificate.
I'm using a local Mac.
