When creating a Multiplatform Application prior to Xcode 14, Xcode would create a separate Entitlements-file for each target. Now, with Xcode 14, all targets use the same Entitlements file by default.
After adding the HealthKit capability to an Xcode 14 project and populating the "Privacy - Health Update Usage Description" Key with a string in Info.plist, then prompting a HealthKit authorization request, the screen asking the user to agree to the App using HealthKit data does not pop up. Moreover, the following error is printed in the console: Health request display failed: Missing application-identifier entitlement.
In an effort to fix this problem, I edited the Entitlements file manually to look like this:
Adding the application-identifier entitlement to the Entitlements file manually fixes the issue, however, as the same Entitlements file is also used by the macOS target, Xcode fails to automatically sign the app for macOS and gives the following error:
Provisioning profile "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: com.xx.xx" doesn't include the application-identifier entitlement.
Here you can see the error given in Signing & Capabilities:
What is the correct approach here? Should I manually create a second Entitlements file and separate them? If so, how would this be done? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Testing on a real device, without manually editing the entitlements file, the error disappears and the HealthKit permission request is shown appropriately.
Therefore, I believe the behavior above is just a Xcode/Simulator bug in the current beta.
Now I'm trying to Product>Archive my iOS app to submit. However, I am getting following errors:
AppName has conflicting provisioning settings. AppName is automatically signed for development, but a conflicting code signing identity iPhone Distribution has been manually specified. Set the code signing identity value to iPhone Developer in the build settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the project editor.`
Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.1'`
The situation won't change even those I've retry a whole process to recreate iOS certificates or provisioning profile.
I was setting as iOS Distribution in TARGETS > Code Signing Identity > Release > Any iOS SDK. When I changed the setting as iOS Developer here, and changed the setting in PROJECTS > Code Signing Identity > Release > Any iOS SDK as iOS Distribution, I've succeeded in archiving. I'm wondering is it necessary to set as iOS Distribution in the target editor or not. And if it's mandatory, please someone let me know how can I work around this error.
My XCode version is 8.1.
I had this same error, but I had already checked "Automatically manage signing".
The solution was to uncheck it, then check it again and reselect the Team. Xcode then fixed whatever was causing the issue on its own.
I had the same problem, I noticed that If you want to make a release of your iOs app and publish it on the App Store you don't need at all to put in the "Code Signing Identity" as release, just keep it as iOs developer.
Go to Your project -> Build Settings -> Code Signing Identity and put everything to iOs developer.
For those coming from Ionic or Cordova, you can try the following:
Open the file yourproject/platforms/ios/cordova/build-release.xcconfig and change from this:
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Distribution
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Distribution
into this:
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Developer
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Developer
and try to run the ios cordova build ios --release again to compile a release build.
Reference: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ios-build-release-error-is-automatically-signed-for-development-but-a-conflicting-code-signing-identity-iphone-distribution-has-been-manually-specified/100633/7
You are way over-thinking this. The process is vastly improved and extremely easy in Xcode 8. Take advantage of that fact.
Step One: Do not, in any way, shape, or form, attempt to set the Code Signing settings in the Build Settings. Don't go near them. You will absolutely mess this up. Instead, edit the target and do all the work in the General pane. Best approach: set yourself up for automatic code signing - just enter your Team and check the checkbox, like this:
Step Two: Make sure you have an iOS Distribution Identity (Certificate). You can check this under Xcode Preferences > Accounts, View Details. It would also be a good idea at this time to go to the member center and get yourself an App Store mobile provision for this app, and download and install it.
Step Three: Choose "Generic iOS Device" as your Destination, and choose Product > Archive. The app will be compiled, the archive is created, and you are now ready to submit to the App Store.
If you get this error
App has conflicting provisioning settings.
App is automatically signed, but provisioning profile 'ID' has been manually specified. Set the provisioning profile value to "Automatic" in the build settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the project editor.
then make sure that you have empty PROVISIONING_PROFILE option in Target Build Settings:
Don't forget to do this,
Select the Project -- > Build Settings. Search PROVISIONING_PROFILE and delete whatever nonsense is there.
If you are from Ionic world. You might get a "conflict code signing" error when you in the "archive" stage, as below:
... is automatically signed for development, but a conflicting code
signing identity iPhone Distribution has been manually specified. Set
the code signing identity value to "iPhone Developer" in the build
settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the project editor.
Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS
10.x'
In this case, please go to Build Settings/under signing, code signing identity, and select both as iOS Developer, not Distribution.
Go to the menu: Product/Archive again, then the issue will be fixed.
For those coming from Ionic or Cordova, you can try the following:
Disconnect your ios devices from the computer before ios cordova build ios --release (seems to change the targeted device for xcode signing).
The only solution worked for me:
Close Xcode project
Using finder go to project folder
Right click on .xcodeproj and choose "Show Package Contents"
Right click on project.pbxproj go on "Open With" and choose TextEdit
Now search for your Provision Profile instanceId specified in the error message.
Delete all found texts and let Provisioning Profiles clean.
Save & Close
Open Xcode
Enable automatically manage signing
Enjoy! Hope it will be useful!
Go to build settings, search for code signing identity, and set Any iOS SDK value for iOS Developer:
For me change Code Signing Identity to all iOS Developer for both of Debug and Release.
And Code Signing Style to Automatic.
In my case, i set the "automatic" option in Build Settings.
I was struggles long time, I tried all proposed solutions. Nothing work for me.
Then I found the issue: there was a "User Defined Settings" for "PROVISIONING_PROFILE" at the end of Build Settings tab. I delete it for both Project and Target build settings. Then Automatic signing worked perfect.
I hope this will help somebody else. :)
This worked perfectly for me.
Step 1:
Select the Project Target-- > Build Settings. Search PROVISIONING_PROFILE and delete whatever nonsense is there.
Step 2:
Uncheck "Automatically manage signing", then check it again and reselect the Team. Xcode then fix whatever was causing the issue on its own.
Try either of the following
1.Removing and adding ios platform and rebuild the project for ios
ionic cordova platform rm ios
ionic cordova platform add ios
ionic cordova build ios --release
2.Changing the Xcode Build Setting
The solution was to uncheck it, then check it again and reselect the Team. Xcode then fixed whatever was causing the issue on its own.
3.Change the following code in platform
This didn’t make any sense to me, since I had set the project to auto sign in xcode. Like you, the check and uncheck didn’t work. But then I read the last file path given and followed it. The file path is APP > Platforms > ios > Cordova > build-release.xconfig
And in the file, iPhone Distribution is explicitly set for CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY.
Change:
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Distribution
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Distribution
To:
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Developer
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Developer
Find .xcodeproj file and open it with a text editor
Find fields below and make them like this
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = "iPhone Developer";
"CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*]" = "iPhone Developer";
PROVISIONING_PROFILE = "";
PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER = "";
General -> Signing -> check automatically manage signing and select team
Build settings -> Signing -> Code Signing Identity -> SET ALL TO "IOS developer"
Only thing worked for me.
Open the project -> Select your target -> Go to Build Settings -> Search PROVISIONING and delete the selected profiles.
In my case I had to login to Apple Developer Website and reset the list of devices.
It appears they now require you to do it every year when the subscription is renewed, before being able to add new devices and generate certificates.
I had the same problem
Mine was fixed by searching for "provisioning profile" in the build setting of share extension
Then there was two "Provisioning Profile"s fields there, one regular and one deprecated. The regular one was on Automatic but the deprecated one was not. Changing that one to Automatic too fixed my error.
For me, I had dragged the dump_syms binary and a bunch of scripts into my build target when I manually installed the Firebase SDK. Removing those from my target and project solved the issue.
Using Xcode 10: None of the other solutions here worked for me.
I had to revert to Xcode 9 to resolve this issue, and then update back to Xcode 10 so I could run my application on iOS 12 on a non-emulator device.
Any other solutions found on Stack Overflow or elsewhere, used in Xcode 10, sent me into an endless cycle of provisioning conflicts or signing certificate issues. It seems like signing is broken in Xcode 10 whether you're using the automatic method or manually selecting provisioning profiles and certificates.
You can revert to Xcode 9 by first deleting Xcode 10 from your Applications folder. Then, install Xcode 9 using the .xip file listed on this Apple Developers page.
In Xcode 9, use the automatic build option. You may have to uncheck 'Automatically manage signing' and reselect it, and you also may be required to revoke an existing certificate at developer.apple.com.
After you get the app to successfully build in Xcode 9, you can update back to Xcode 10 using the App Store. After reopening the application in Xcode 10, everything still worked. You may not need to do this, but I needed to in order to build for iOS 12 which requires Xcode 10.
I opened the project file in a text editor "Atom" then I searched for the provisioning profile id and deleted it.
The problem is in the Cordova settings.
Note this:
iPhone Distribution has been manually specified
This didn’t make any sense to me, since I had set the project to auto sign in xcode. Like you, the check and uncheck didn’t work. But then I read the last file path given and followed it. The file path is APP > Platforms > ios > Cordova > build-release.xconfig
And in the file, iPhone Distribution is explicitly set for CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY.
Change:
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Distribution
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Distribution
To:
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Developer
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Developer
It a simple thing, and the error message does make it clear that iPhone Distribution has been manually specified, but it doesn’t really say where unless you follow the path. I looked and fiddled with xcode for about three hours trying to figure this out. Hopes this helps anyone in the future.
Another cordova/ionic possible cause of this is if you're using the common branch-cordova-sdk plugin.
For some reason the plugin was overwriting code signing identities that had been correctly set in build.json when running ionic cordova build ios.
I tracked it down to identities that have been set in /plugins/branch-cordova-sdk/src/scripts/ios/enableEntitlements.js file
Make sure the debug and release vals are both set to "iPhone Developer" and this will save you having to do a manual fix in XCodes Build Settings after every build process
const DEBUGCODESIGNIDENTITY = "iPhone Developer";
const RELEASECODESIGNIDENTITY = "iPhone Developer"; // NOT "iPhone Distribution"
This doesn't happen on a different machine with same project/plugin so unsure precise root cause but sharing in case it helps others as this ate up a few hours.
It was found by searching for occurrences of "iPhone Distribution" in the project folder. Do the same to identify any other plugin/library that might be interfering for you.
Change your code sign in to destribution certificate .
After updating to Xcode 8.3.2 i had the same error with a Cordova project. I needed to upgrade Cordova (v7.0.0) and the iOS platform (v4.4.0) for code signing to work.
You need to add a Production Certificate and (or) Download one from your Development Acoount
Please make sure the "Product Bundle Identifier" in Build settings name matches actual bundle identifier.This worked for me.
For me, I need to switch from auto to manual, and switch to auto, same error. Switch to manual, and change those provisioning profiles and code signing settings and build and get errors, and switch back to auto, then it just success.
I am having trouble submitting my newest app update with Xcode 8 GM. I updated my iPhone and watchOS app in this update.
When trying to submit I get the following error:
iTunes Store operation failed. Invalid Code Signing Entitlements. Your
application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that
are not supported on iOS. Specifically, value 'QX3TDZXXXX.AppName'
for key 'application-identifier' in
'Payload/AppName.app/AppName' is not supported. This value
should be a string starting with your TEAMID, followed by a dot '.',
followed by the bundle identifier.
I set signing to automatic by checking "Automatically manage signing" in Xcode. Everything looks fine to me.
After searching for a solution everywhere I tried to change the Code Signing Identity in Build Settings to iOS Distribution. That also gives me an error right away:
AppName has conflicting provisioning settings. AppName is
automatically signed for development, but a conflicting code signing
identity iPhone Distribution has been manually specified. Set the code
signing identity value to "iPhone Developer" in the build settings
editor, or switch to manual signing in the project editor. Code
signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.0'
I also:
cleaned project
restarted Xcode
rebooted my Mac
revoked my distribution certificate
Did someone else have a similar problem and knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
What helped me was:
I unchecked "Automatically manage signing" and then check it on again.
After that Xcode told me it would reset the settings to the default and after that it finally worked.
I wasted more than a whole day on this but I finally found the solution!
Somehow in my Build Settings, the "Product Bundle Identifier" was only my apps name instead of the unique Bundle Identifier (e.g. com.YX.AppName).
Click on your project, choose your App, press Build Settings and search for "packaging". You should find it there.
Found this by creating a brand new project and comparing every single setting.
In case this is not what is wrong in your project, these are the things I found on this topic before. Maybe one of these things might help you:
project > Alt + Clean (Cleans the whole Build Folder)
restarted xcode (that helped many others!)
revoked all Provisioning Profiles and let Xcode create new ones (Xcode > Preferences > Accounts > View Details > Create next to iOS Distribution)
checked that all App ID names where right
for com.AB.CDE the name has to be "com AB CDE"
restarted PC
checked that Xcode and macOS were the newest version
Try this solution:
Create new "Provisioning profile" & import it.
Restart XCode
Uncheck "Automatically manage signing"
In the drop downlist select new provisioning profile.
Check "Automatically manage signing".
It should help you.
I had the same issue and none of the suggested workarounds here worked. I assumed it had to do something with how the XCode project is configured, so I tracked back and found out I was following this guide Building multiple versions of a React Native app and had missed the following step.
In the project’s info.plist, change the value of Bundle Identifier to
$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)$(BUNDLE_ID_SUFFIX)
EDIT : Turns out that was not the actual problem. I had to enable Push Notifications in Capabilities since the App ID on the developer console had it turned on.
Had the same issue. I restarted my laptop, rebuilt the release build, restarted Xcode, rebuilt the archives. Then it worked.
This question already has answers here:
The executable gets signed with invalid entitlements in Xcode
(40 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I would install an application in my mobile phone by using Xcode but it was not installed with following an error message.
Error Message
"The executable was signed with invalid entitlements.
The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile. (0xE8008016)"
Matters of Inquiry
Why does the error message occur while I install the application?
Would you mind if you can give me the solution of this problem?
Check if you are using Entitlement file in Build Setting > Code Signing Section.
If yes, try deleting that file name.
You are using Entitlement file
The entitlements file defines certain capabilities of your app. Usually, the file is automatically generated by Xcode when you enable a capability for your app. You only need the file if you enable certain capabilities, e.g. Healthkit integration. If you'd like to use these features, you have to add it. Otherwise, Apple will reject your app.
To fix this
Go to the build settings of your target.
Make sure that you have "All" selected instead of "Basic"
Type "entitlements" into the search box
The result is the build setting where you can specify where your
entitlements file is located
Remove them
You are using the wrong Provisioning Profile
A provisioning profile is a collection of digital entities that uniquely ties developers and devices to an authorized iPhone Development Team and enables a device to be used for testing. A Development Provisioning Profile must be installed on each device on which you wish to run your application code.
Go to Build Settings > Code Signing > Provisioning Profile
Select a development profile under Team
Please ensure that the Team in the project, target and tests are the same.
Bundle Identifier and App ID do not match
Go to the build settings of your target
Select Packaging and change your App ID to match the Bundle ID
Clear cache in Xcode
Command-Option-Shift-K to clean out the build folder. Even better, quit Xcode and clean out ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData manually.
You are using wrong provisioning profile to build your app on devices make sure you are using right type of profile. I was using App Store Deployment profile to build on devices. Use ad-hoc profiles or development profiles to build on your devices.
You are using the wrong Provisioning Profile i.e. Distribution for development. Go to Build Settings > Code Signing > Provisioning Profile and select a development profile.
Check the if your "Code Signing" configurations are same on "PROJECT>Build Settings" and "TARGETS>Build Settings".
Personnally, I use for both:
- "Code Signing identity": iOS Developer
- "Provisioning Profile" : Automatic
Check your "Team" parameter at your targets. It should be the same for your project and tests.
For me none of the above answers worked. I tried to remove every code signing certificate from Keychain and build the app. When I resolved all code signing related errors for my target I still had some of them in Tests target. It has been set by someone else from my team before. I just switched to iOS Developer, and the invalid entitlement error went away.
I was getting this problem after moving app from one account to another. I tried all the solutions given by others, those might be correct in other cases. But I fixed the problem by going File -> Workspace Settings -> Build System and choosing "Legacy Build System". I'm using XCode 10.3.
I faced this problem and my problem was My Bundle Identifier and AppID was not matched. Please change your Bundle Identifier in Build Settings->Packaging like your AppID.
Just goto Apple developer portal from where you have downloaded provisioning profile.
Select your profile click edit and check whether all certificates are selected or not.
In my case selecting all certificates and downloading that new profile solved the above mentioned issue.
Also make sure in your schema you have set "Build configuration" to the correct configuration, in most cases "Debug".
I got this error when export the ipa with App Store provisioning wrongly during CI process. My intention was to export with Adhoc provisioning.
I had the same error. My problem was that I checked 'Enable HealthKit' in Entitlements.plist, but I did not enable HealthKit when I created the App Id.
In short, all entitlements in your app (Entitlements.plist file in your project) should be configured on the provisioning profile you use (Provisioning profile = app ID + certificate + information about devices your app can run on).
Had the same problem that suddenly popped up in my project from one day to the next.
What fixed it for me was turning "Automatically manage signing" off and on again for both targets and making sure the right development team was selected once it was on again (defaults to none in my project).
It could seems a easy solution but I solved updating my iPhone's iOS version.
All answers I have seen talk only about xcode update. It was strange because my old iOS version was iOS 13.3.3 and it worked on another iPhone with iOS 13.6. After updating to iOS 13.7 it worked.
I completed to develop my first app. Right now i want to distribute my beta throught https://testflightapp.com
I tried to create .ipa file with this tutorial - http://help.testflightapp.com/customer/portal/articles/402782-how-to-create-an-ipa-xcode-4
In the very beginning i should select Entitlements, but there is not such category as Code Signing..
Any helps? Thnx.
PS I have a developer account.
UPD. Does somebody create ipa files for TestFlight on XCode 4.3? How do you do that?
I skipped entitlements altogether. With Xcode 4.2 and later I have not needed them.
Make sure your Archive Scheme uses your Debug configuration. Then just do an Archive of the project (under the Product menu). Save the Archive someplace. Then drag that Archive file onto the TestFlightApp's green "Upload Build" button. That easy. No messing around with entitlements, etc.
Before you do this, make sure you can actually build a correctly formed archive by building, and e-mailing it to one of your testers and see if it can be loaded. There are a bunch of things that have to work before you can use TestFlightApp. Just because you can Build and Run from Xcode doesn't mean that it will work on a remote device that doesn't already have your provisioning file. For example, you have to have your App ID, provisioning profiles and Device ID's all configured correctly via the Provisioning Portal. Once I did that, and verified that my .ipa files can be installed manually, then just uploading to TestFlightApp.com worked without having to do entitlements.
I wrote this up and put it on TestFlightApp's support forum, but for some reason TestFlightApp.com won't let me into the support area so I can find it - I can't use my login to access their "Tender" account.
That's because that tuturial was done for another version of Xcode.
Just create a new property list file (Entitlements.plist) in your Xcode project and it let you edit it as a Entitlements file just fine.
The What's New in Xcode (pdf) documentation states that:
The iOS platform has supported entitlements for a while, and with Lion, Mac OS X does as well. With Xcode 4.1, the project editor provides a UI for setting up entitlements for Mac OS X applications. You can set entitlements for each target in the project editor. There is also a default code-signing entitlements file available in the file templates in the utilities pane.
In the Summary tab of your project editor is a section titled Entitlements. Check the "Enable Entitlements" box to have Xcode automatically create an Entitlements plist for you. This section also governs the entitlements' interaction with iCloud and Keychain.
