I have often thought about writing an app such as this for my own use. Especially now, given Xcode 5, which stupidly FORCES you to have all those unnecessary "team provisioning" profiles, which can't be disabled.

Alas, this is not quite there. I should be able to sort by pressing the column titles, and I should be able to delete profiles from the list. If you're going to charge actual money for this, it's the very least you can do.

Yeah, it seems Xcode has regressed with respect to provisioning profiles from version 4 to 5.

Great point re: sorting and deleting. I've added support for both to a new build that is now in Apple's hands. Hopefully users will get it in a few days' time.

Is there anything else I could add? It's difficult to extract critical feedback from those closest to me. :)

playing around with it a little more:

* it doesn't remember its size and position onscreen. it should.

* what the heck did you use to build this, given that it doesn't have any of the standard menu items? at the very least, you want to have "Hide AppName," "Hide Others," and so on.

* make the text in the lower pane selectable. and to make it really useful, you'll need an edit menu, with cut, copy, and paste.
