Distribution Profile requesting a Developer certificate - ios

Using Xcode 9.1, after building an iOS app, I try to archive it.
But I get the following error message:
Provisioning profile "MyAppProfile" doesn't include signing certificate "iPhone Developer: My Name (X1YZ2AB3CD)".
After looking closer, I see that MyAppProfile is a Distribution Provisioning Profile (this is what I want) and X1YZ2AB3CD matches a Developer certificate.But when building MyAppProfile (for App Store) I was provided with the choice of a unique Distribution certificate (No Developer certificate). So why do I get this message complaining about MyAppProfile not including a Developer certificate. I am kind of lost. Anyone can shed some light here?
In case I give up with manual signing, here is what I get when trying to upload to appStore:
Automatic signing is unable to resolve an issue with the "MyApp.app" target's entitlements.
Switch to manual signing and resolve the issue by downloading a matching provisioning profile from the developer website. Atlernatively, to continue using automatic signing, remove these entitlements from your entitlements file and their associated functionality from your code. Then rebuild your archive and try again.
Provisioning profile failed qualification
Profile doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the application-identifier entitlement.

I finally was able to upload.
Here is what I did:
I enabled in-app-purchase in the list of Application Capabilities and disabled it right after. (Giving up in-app-purchase at least temporarily)
There is a lot I don't understand here, but I am just giving this info in case it may be useful for someone with similar problems.

Remove certificates from your keychain access which doesn't include private keys. I mean the certificates which does not have arrow(play button type) on left side of name.
and then from your xcode select your team from general and unable automatic code signing and then try!
You can refer this post or this post

None of the advice anyone else has given has worked for me.
Finally, I just "unchecked" the "Automatically manage signing" box and then used the drop-downs from my Apple developer account to fill in the signing correctly as CLEARLY the automatic feature is flawed. Do yourself a favor and just don't use it!

Profile doesn't include certificate

Using Xcode 9.1, after building an iOS app, I try to archive it.
But I get the following error message:
Provisioning profile "MyAppProfile" doesn't include signing
certificate "iPhone Developer: My Name (X1YZ2AB3CD)".
What is the simplest way to solve this?
Open key chain in your mac and check your development certificate...I think your certificate is expired using which you have created your Provisioning profile..thats why it is showing "MyAppProfile" doesn't include signing certificate.
1.To solve this issue go to your developer account and download the latest development certificate and add it to keychain and remove all expired certificates from keychain.
Or
2.This issue also comes when you have multiple developer accounts in your keychain and the expired developer certificate name is same as that of active developer certificate. After removing the expired certificates, you must restart Xcode to let it reload the remaining certificates.
Try enabling automatic signing. It will take care these things mostly.
The reason for this error is you may have chosen a developer certificate(which the provisioning profile doesn't intended to use with) for distributing/release build.
I have just encountered the same problem. What fixed it for me is to go to the xcodeproj file>Select the correct build target>Build settings>Code signing identity>select the correct identity for the build configuration (If you didn't change it in the edit scheme screen, it would be "Release" for archiving).

No matching provisioning profiles found (None of the valid provisioning profiles allowed the specified entitlements)

I am getting an error when archiving:
Code Sign error: No matching provisioning profiles found: None of the valid provisioning profiles allowed the specified entitlements: com.apple.developer.in-app-payments.
I added apple pay capability since the last time I archived successfully, so it's probably to do with that. How do I add the entitlements to the provisioning profile? The whole certificates/provisioning profiles/app id concept is so confusing, wondering if there are any good reads (for dummies) on exactly what/why/how these work.
You need to go to developer.apple.com and log in as your developer account. Go to the Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles section, and find the app ID for your app. Click on it to expend the capabilities for the app ID. Make sure In App Purchases is enabled for both development and distribution (more info here).
Once you've made sure it is there, you'll want to re-generate the provisioning profile for the app ID, and then re-download the profile to your Mac. I tend to remove all my old provisioning profiles when I do this, since having multiple profiles for the same application ID can sometimes confuse Xcode. Provisioning profiles on your Mac are stored in /Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
After doing this, it isn't necessary, but I usually recommend devs to quit and relaunch Xcode.
As for resources, I think Apple's session, What's New in Code Signing, from WWDC 2016 was a great one for understanding the components that are required for code signing to work.
The whole certificates/provisioning profiles/app id concept is so confusing
Not only for you :). You don't have to add entitlements to your provisioning profiles. Try to go to apple developer website add your mac (if you didn't do it already) and generate new provisioning profile. After that download it and click 2 times (xCode should automatically add it to the project). If it doesnt solve the problem try to look into project structure code and change developer/project numbers manually to proper one.

Xcode 8 shows error that provisioning profile doesn't include signing certificate

Xcode 8 shows error that provisioning profile doesn't include signing certificate.
This issue is with Xcode-8 only with Xcode 7, same provisioning profile showing related identified certificate.
There are many ways to fix this, like enabling automatic signing etc. But if you want to understand the reason for this error you need to look at the error message.
It says that the provisioning profile you have selected in the "General tab", does not contain the signing certificate you selected in the "Build settings" -> "Code Signing Identity".
Usually this happens if a distribution certificate has been selected for the debug identity under "Build settings" -> "Code Signing Identity".
If this happens under "Signing (Debug)" it might also be that the "Signing Identity" -> "iOS Development" is not included in the provisioning profile.
Check your keychain for identities that are missing a private key. I had multiple distribution certificates installed for the same team, one of which was missing the private key. Xcode was only checking the first matching identity in the keychain and automatically using this as opposed to the one that did include the private key.
Removing the matching identity that didn't have a private key made Xcode detect the correct identity again.
To fix this,
I just enable the "Automatic manage signing" at project settings general tab, Before enabling that i was afraid that it may have some side effects but once i enable that works for me.
For those who should keep using not auotamatic for some reason
Open keyChain Access to see whether there are two same Certifications ,If there's two or more,Just Delete to one and it will work :)
I experienced this issue after recently updating Xcode to version 9.3
The issue was in code signing (under debug) certificate was set to distribution certificate instead of development certificate so this prevented me from installing the app on my devices.
Here is what I did to solve this issue.
Project -> Targets -> Select your app -> Build Settings -> Code Signing Identity -> Debug -> Double tap "iPhone Distribution" and change it to "iPhone Developer".
I unchecked and then checked the "Automatically manage signing" option. That fixed it for me.
For what it's worth automatic signing failed every time until I just manually deleted local profiles in:
~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
After that automatic signing worked perfectly and it got the right profiles from Apple's servers.
This was affecting only some builds, notably the ones for which I had manually created profiles for watch app.
If you use manual signing (which I would definitely encourage), this error may occur because Xcode thinks that it should sign a release build with a developer certificate, which is obviously not included in a release provisioning profile.
There is a build setting that defines which certificate should be used for which build configuration. To change it, go to build settings and search for Code Signing Identity. When expanded, there should be separate rows for each build configuration (usually Debug and Release) with in the second column its selected identity (usually iOS Developer or iOS Distribution). Make sure that it's set to the correct identity for each build configuration.
In some cases, the build configurations can also be expanded. Make sure that also its subitems are set to the correct identities.
Had the same error.
Profiles seems renewed, new certificates added, i even checked it when download. Also revoked former developer's certificates, excluded from provision profile.
But Xcode still asking me about previous certificates with error:
No certificate for team 'MY_TEAM' matching 'iPhone Developer: FORMER_DEVELOPER' found
so, what I did to fix it:
Go Build Settings -> Signing -> Code Signing Identity
Find all 'FORMER_DEVELOPER' certificates and choose needed.
Hope it will help somebody.
For those who still struggle with this problem in Xcode8. For me was a duplicate Certificate problem, this is how I solved it:
I read the answer of Nick and then I began my investigation. I checked all the keys and Certificates in my particular case (inside ~/Library/Keychains/System.keychain).
When I opened the file, I found that I had two iPhone Distribution Certificates (that was the certificate that Xcode was requesting me), one with the iOS Distribution private key that I have been using since the beginning, and another iPhone Distribution Certificate which its private Key had a name (iOS Distribution:NAME) that wasn´t familiar for me. I deleted this last certificate, started Xcode again and the problem was gone. xCode wasn´t able to resolve that conflict and that´s why it was giving signing certificate error all the time.
Check your keychains, maybe you have a duplicate certificate.
You may also solve code signing issues with great Fastlane toolkit. Authors put a lot of effort to effectively automate building, signing iOS apps (and more).
So in the mentioned suite, there is tool sigh which magically resolves any signing issues, hence the name :) Nice thing here is, that this tool encapsulates a knowledge about common signing issues and can detect and resolve most of them.
Fastlane is installed as Ruby gem:
gem install fastlane
And then simply invoked:
fastlane sigh --development
Answer two questions, and voila:
[11:56:55]: No existing profiles found, that match the certificates you have installed locally! Creating a new provisioning profile for you
[11:57:01]: Creating new provisioning profile for 'com.myapp' with name 'com.myapp Development'
[11:57:06]: Downloading provisioning profile...
[11:57:09]: Successfully downloaded provisioning profile...
[11:57:09]: Installing provisioning profile...
Finally, go to Build Settings -> Signing, and switch to newly created provisioning profile, whose name you just saw in the command output.
This example is for development code signing problem (running on the device). Check sigh documentation for all other options.
In my case, in keychain i had two certificates with same name, i removed one of the certificate which is duplicate then it solved the problem.
I had remaining private keys from certificates I had revoked, certificates were gone but not the private keys. Deleting them solved the problem.
To find them:
Open Keychain access
Click "Keys" under category on the side left menu
Look for iOS Developer: ..." keys that do not have a certificate tied to them
I deleted them and problem went away
The highlighted key in the picture is a sample private key without a certificate.
"Enable automatic signing" and then selecting a team from the drop-down menu helped me with this exact problem.
Because I haven't seen this specific answer:
My issue was I needed manual signing. So my mistake was that In Build Settings -> Code Signing -> Code Signing Identity
I had my debug (Automatic signing style, and Apple Development Certificate), Staging and Release (Manual and Apple Distribution (adHoc) variants set correctly.
What I DIDNT have set correctly (due to some flawed logic in my understanding) was the "ANY IOS SDK" value. Once I set it to the same manual Apple Distribution cert, the error went away.
Initially i had it set to an Automatic value "iOS Distribution" because I figured it would better handled automatically since I didnt know what it meant. still dont. oh well hope it helps
Delete the developer certificate that does not have a private key.
Delete the provisioning profile from your machine using go to folder (~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles)
Then first check then uncheck the Automatically manage signing option in the project settings with selecting team.
Sing in Apple developer account and edit the provisioning profile selecting all available developer certificates then download and add to XCODE.
Select the provisioning profile and code signing identity in project build settings
Xcode 11
This is the error I got
Provisioning profile "XXX" doesn't include signing certificate "Apple Development: XXX (XXX)".```
Now Xcode 11 automatically created a certificate "Apple Development: XXX" which is valid for all platforms
You just need to
Go to https://developer.apple.com
Go to your provisioning profile
Check if this certificate is selected
The issue seems to start happening in Xcode 11.
Go to Apple Developer
Find the right provision profile
Press Edit in the right upper corner
Choose the (Distribution) option in Certificates. (I think it's a new option/certificate type that apple introduced though I couldn't find any documentation)
Optional: Delete all you provision profiles in (~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/)
go to Xcode ->Preferences->Accounts->Download Manual Profiles
I have the same problem.
I changed the mac. And when I downloaded the Xcode certificate, I received an error message: "The error is that the security profile does not include the certificate signature."
1) Go to https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/profile/limited/edit
Select the project => edit => Certificates => Select All => Create => Download
2) In Xcode: Project file => Signing (Debug) => Provisioning profile => Import profile => Select file with 1
For me, None of the above solutions worked. I was migrating from two older mac's to a new mac, trying to get release/debug profiles working on Xcode WITHOUT Xcode auto managing them.
The solution for me was that when I went and created the two new Certificates, i ALSO had to go into my provisioning profiles, and add (under both the distribution and dev) the new certificates to the provisioning profiles so recognized them. After doing this & downloading, xcode removed all errors and it is good to go.
Hope this helps someone!
I got one of these emails from Apple:
Dear John Doe,
The following certificate has either been revoked by a member of your
development team or has expired:
Certificate: iOS Development
Team Name: Honey Team, LLC
This does not affect apps that you've submitted to the App Store or
your ability to update your apps. If you're using provisioning
profiles that contain this certificate, they must be recreated before
they can be reused. For details, see the "App signing overview"
section of Xcode Help.
Best regards,
Apple Developer Program Support
I created a new certificate which revoked the previous certificate (locally and on any other developer's mac). For it to work I must download the new provision profiles.
The solution is to:
login into Apple developer account
remove/revoke the previous certificates created in my name.
add the new certificate to the provision profile. You can identify the newer one by their expiry date
download them again from Xcode. Xcode >> Account >> Download All Profiles
restart Xcode
I personally didn't have such access. This access was only available to our team's admin, hence I don't have screenshots nor certain if these steps are 100% correct.
I haven't seen this mentioned yet but if you are still having issues after recreating your provisioning profiles, deleting the existing ones you have in your Provision Profiles folder, checking for dupes in your Keychain, etc (all other answers ITT), open your Target > Build Settings > Code Signing and make sure everything looks consistent in there. For example, I had changed the Code Signing Identify for Debug to a Distribution identity, which obviously wouldn't work as the Development Provisioning Profile doesn't have the Distribution certificate and was causing the error in the first place.
If your trying to upload your app to iTunes Connect (your Provisioning Profiles are set to Distribution), Go to Project Settings -> Build Settings -> Code Signing. Make sure to set all of Debug and Release Options to your Distribution Provisioning Provisioning Profile.
This might help you
iOS Distribution profile
Scenario:
Another developer gave me a certificate.
I installed this simply
Error :
Xcode 8 shows error that provisioning profile doesn't include signing certificate
Which was not exactly correct error.
The error was the private key missing
Preference -> Accounts -> Double click team
Call the developer to send the private key.
and installed it into your locally
SECOND SOLUTION
Create a fresh certificate.
Edit your existing provisioning profile
Include fresh certificate
Save and download
It means you need to do either 1 of the below:
You should have created a certificate at the Developer Center and then included that Certificate within the Provisioning Profile which you will Import into XCode.
Else, If you are using a certificate created by someone else, then get them to share/export their certificate & private key (.p12 file) to you & you need to include this into your keychain. Refer here
A solution to #2 when you are not able to get the certificate & .p12 file from the creator would be to just check the 'Automatically manage signing' option.
Here are the steps solved for me (For those who face the same problem in XCode 9.2):
Just manually deleted local profiles in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles.
Deleted and created all the certificates and provisioning profile from developers account.
Removed developers account from Xcode and re-added it.
Solved my problem! :-)
This happens because the provisioning profile can't find the file for the certificate it is linked to.
To fix:
Check which certificate is linked to your provisioning profile by
clicking edit on your provisioning profile in the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles section of the Apple Developer dashboard
Download the certificate from the dashboard
Double click the file to install it in your keychain
Drag the file into Xcode to be extra sure it is linked
The error should be gone now.
Clicking but then cancelling "Enable Automatic Signing" worked for me, although the actual change it made was:
ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES = YES;
or in Xcode it's called Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries
I had the same issue and reason was penny. Wrong profile and certificate was selected in build settings. I only had did this before few days. So, you do not need to enable "automatic" inside xcode. Check profiles inside your build settings before doing it.
Try downloading the certificates/profiles directly from the member centre rather than doing it from Xcode.
It worked for me when I manually downloaded them from the member centre.

ERROR ITMS-90046: "Invalid Code Signing Entitlements." using custom applinks

I've tried to upload application to apple store using Application Loader include Associated Domains in application entitlements but I have an error:
ERROR ITMS-90046: "Invalid Code Signing Entitlements. Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that are not supported on iOS. Specifically, value 'applinks:http://XXX.internal/' for key 'com.apple.developer.associated-domains' in 'Payload/MyApp.app/MyApp' is not supported."
I use distribution certificate
I have checked to ON in Associated Domains in App Ids in apple developer
I have created provisioning profile using app ids (with enabled Associated Domains) and distribution certificate
What can be the problem? I've tried recreate of all certificates, provisioning profiles etc.
I have solved this issue.
My problem was that I wrote wrong domain name. I had before:
applinks: http://something.com
and now I have:
applinks:something.com
And it's working great.
Go to xcode preferences.Accounts. Select your developer account and double click on the team name in the right. You will see all the provisioning profiles there, select anyone and show in finder. Now delete all these files and move to trash.
Now delete your account from the xocde. Quit xcode.
Now reopen xcode and go to preferences and add your developer account. Download all profiles from here.
Now re-try to build. Let me know if it works.
For anyone else stumbling across this, the problem is actually in your app ID so just deleting your provisioning profiles won't solve anything. Here's how to fix it:
1. Login into your apple developer account
2. Choose certificates and provisioning
3. Click on App ID
4. Click on the edit button for that App ID
5. Turn off Associated Domains
6. Save
This will invalidate your existing provisioning profiles so click over to Provisioning Profiles and you'll see the little icons showing the old ones are now invalid. Delete those. Generate new ones, download those and rebuild your app.
Problem solved.
I had the same problem when check
app id Push Notifications Disabled and project ON Notifications Im off Notifcation The problem was solved
Turning Associated Domains in capabilities off and then back on solved it for me.

Certificates won't show in code signing identity in build settings

I'm encountering the errors:
No matching provisioning profiles found: No provisioning profiles with a valid signing identity (i.e. certificate and private key pair) were found.
and:
CodeSign error: code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 7.0'
XCode isn't giving me any option other than "Automatic iOS Developer and Distribution" options in the 'Code Signing' area of the 'Build Settings'.
I've tried changing the bundle id to match the certificates exactly, as well as a more generic com.domain.appname ID, I've deleted and recreated the provisioning profiles - I'm really lost, it feels like it should be something really simply but I can't get my certificates to show in the settings.
I was shocked when having the same problem and reading some answers here, too complicated. But I solved this much much simpler.
Open Keychain Access. Delete iPhone Developer and iPhone Distribution certificates, although they are still valid.
Open Apple Developer Centre. Download iOS Development and iOS Distribution certificates again. Yes, I download them again as they are written as XXXX-1.cer
Drag them to Keychain Access to reimport them.
Rerun XCode. Problem solved.
The first thing I would check is that your Cert in Keychain Access is present and is married up to your private key. If it's listed but your private key isn't paired with it you've likely changed your Mac's password recently and instead of pressing "Update Keychain" you may have clicked on "New Keychain". This will require performing the CSR process again and adding that new cert from the portal to the existing prov profiles. (A screenshot here may help).
Next I would make sure that XCode's Organizer is showing your provisioning profiles as valid with a green checkmark. If they aren't valid XCode will tell you why. This could be anything from the missing private key to your cert wasn't added to the profile in the dev portal. (Another screenshot here may help).
If all of that looks good restart XCode. I've had problems with XCode not properly importing prov profiles until I give it a swift kick in the pants via restart.
What worked for me was to create a new iOS Provisioning Profile in apple portal then download and add it to the Organizer in XCode , my scenario was that I was importing the project from another user account and when Titanium was compiling the project had the iOS Provisioning Profile associated from the other user account therefore was crashing, so when I was ready to compile in the Run on iOS Device dialog I changed the Provisioning profile to the new one.
As it has been stated before, you need to see the green button (valid profile) in the Provisioning Profiles for your device .
Good luck! it took me two days to fix this!
