All iOS provisioning profiles stuck at pending

Question

I'm attempting to create new iOS provisioning profiles, but as I create them the Apple website hangs as I submit the 'Name the profile and generate' page.

Returning to the list of profiles I can see the new profile but it remains at 'Pending' and does not allow me to use it.

I'm using Xcode 5 and hitting refresh on the Accounts preference pane does not delete the old profiles, or make any change to the pending profiles online.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure if this is the same problem as yours, but I have an OSX provisioning profile that is managed by xcode that is also stuck in the pending state.

To workaround the problem:

• I downloaded an older manually created profile from the web interface.
• Opened Xcode 4 and dragged the profile into the organiser.
• Closed Xcode 4
• Opened Xcode 5 and was able to select this profile and build again.

A spotlight search didn't show the profile existing anywhere new so I'm not sure what Xcode 4 is actually doing that Xcode 5 can pick up.
