I'm trying to upload a signed config profile and I keep getting "Unable to create object from file." It worked a few months ago, but I had to change the name. I changed the UUIDs, there is no duplicate named profile and the unsigned profile uploads fine. I tried both a couple signing certs I have in Xcode as well as creating a signing cert using these instructions.

I can install the profile fine locally:

We're running 10.41.0-t1661887915 in the Jamf cloud.

I noticed it seems to be limited to this particular profile, as I can sign other profiles and upload them with an issue.

As a favor to the future: At least one cause of this error is that deleted profiles on the JSS aren’t really deleted, at least not immediately. If you want to reupload a profile you’ve previously deleted you must change the PayloadUUID to avoid a conflict with the “deleted” profile.
