Creating VIPs - having problems with profiles

I resolved this by providing a null profile value during vip creation and assigning profiles afterwards. Hopefully this will help someone 🙂

$vipINFILE = Import-Csv $vipCSV
    foreach ($vipset in $vipINFILE | Where-object {$_.Sequence -eq $i})
    {
        $vipdefinition = New-Object "iControl.CommonVirtualServerDefinition"
        $vipdefinition.name = $vipset.VIPName;
        $vipdefinition.address = $vipset.VIPIP;
        $vipdefinition.port = $vipset.VIPPort;
        $vipdefinition.protocol = $vipset.Protocol;
        $vipdefinitions = (, $vipdefinition);
        $wildmasks = (, "255.255.255.255");
        $resource = New-Object "iControl.LocalLBVirtualServerVirtualServerResource"
        $resource.type = "RESOURCE_TYPE_POOL";
        $resource.default_pool_name = $poolset.PoolName;
        $resources = (, $resource);
        $profiles = new-object "iControl.LocalLBVirtualServerVirtualServerProfile[][]" 1
        (Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBVirtualServer.create($vipdefinitions,$wildmasks,$resources,$profiles)
        if($vipset.snat -eq "AutoMAP"){(Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBVirtualServer.set_snat_automap((, $vipset.VIPName))}
        $profileINFILE = import-csv $profileCSV
        foreach ($profileset in $profileINFILE | where-object {$_.Sequence -eq $i})
        {
            if($profileset.http){
                $vipprofilehttp = New-Object "iControl.LocalLBVirtualServerVirtualServerProfile"

                write-host "Added a OneConnect profile"

            if($profileset.irulename){
                $vipirule = New-Object -TypeName iControl.LocalLBVirtualServerVirtualServerRule
