I'm using the following terminal commands to re-sign an ipa: I unzip the ipa, copy in a new mobile provisioning profile, run codesign with a sign identity, and zip it back up into an ipa.
unzip -q My_App_Name.app
cp New_Mobile_Provision Payload/My_App_Name.app/embedded.mobileprovision
codesign -f -s 'my certificate' Payload/My_App_Name.app
zip -qr My_App_Name_Resigned.ipa Payload/
But when I use ios-deploy to try installing the result to an iPhone 5 (on iOS 9), it gets to 70% - verifying ipa- and fails. Anyone else seen this?
Look at files in .app directory.
There may be more than one executable, library or framework.
You need to replace all the signature of them.

My organization has developer account (not enterprise) and have added me as a "team member" to the organizations team account and shared the developer certificate and development provisioning profile(includes 1 device). Using those, I could develop an app, archive and created an IPA from XCode (selected method of distribution as "Development") and exported to a folder on disk. When exported I have the following files created on my disk
DistributionSummary.plist
ExportOptiona.plist
manifest.pList
Packaging.log
app.ipa
The admin of my organization wants to resign this ipa to distribute to app store and followed all the steps mentioned below, with distribution certificate and dist. provisioning profile (app store). The resigned ipa is then distributed(OTA) to users and it will not install on their phones.
I followed the below steps to re-sign our ipa
unzip the app
unzip -q *.ipa
Remove the old signature
rm -rf Payload/*.app/_CodeSignature/
Replace embedded provisioning profile
cp "XXXXXXXXXX_distribution.mobileprovision" Payload/*.app/embedded.mobileprovision
Extract entitlements from app
codesign -d --entitlements :entitlements.plist Payload/*.app/
Re-sign embedded frameworks
codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Certificate Name. (ABC44343XZ)" --entitlements entitlements.plist Payload/.app/Frameworks/
Re-sign the app (with entitlements)
codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Certificate Name. (ABC44343XZ)" --entitlements entitlements.plist Payload/*.app/
Zip re-signed app
zip -qr resigned.ipa Payload
Cleanup
rm entitlements.plist
rm -r Payload/
Can I re-sign an app from a developer to distribute to app store? Can somebody tell me where I am going wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note: I'm answering what you're saying in the comments
[Update] I received an email from apple with the following issue to be fixed "Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing. Rebuild your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmit it." Can anyone help me here?
I can't do it directly on comments as I don't have enough reputation.
When you unzip the .ipa the first time, you should see at least four folders: one is the Payload (where you do all the signing operations, and changes regarding configuration), Symbols, BCSymbolMaps and a SwiftSupport folder. When you do the zip you have to add also the SwiftSupport folder to the .ipa:
zip -qr yourNewApp.ipa Payload/ SwiftSupport/
After doing this, you upload through Application Loader or you can validate your .ipa running this:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framework/Support/altool -v -f yourNewApp.ipa -u yourItunesConnectUser#mail.com
I am doing it through command line .The code is from third party developer.Previously it is working.Now it says Installation failed.
I use following code to resign
Unzip the .ipa file
unzip app.ipa
Delete the current code signature file
rm -rf Payload/MyApp.app/_CodeSignature/
Add in the new provisioning profile
cp ~/Downloads/AdHoc.mobileprovision Payload/MyApp.app/embedded.mobileprovision
resign the code
codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Company Certificate" --resource-rules Payload/MyApp.app/ResourceRules.plist Payload/MyApp.app
rearchive the app into an .ipa file
zip -qr app-resigned.ipa Payload/
You also need to resign Framework, Dylibs, Appex,... files too.
But for best way to find problem of install, open XCode->Device and select your iphone to view log message when install failed.
I'm attempting to resign an app with a new provisioning profile. My generic steps are:
unzip *.ipa
rm *.app/_CodeSignature
cp Payload/*.app/embedded.mobileprovision
codesign -f -s "Cert" --entitlements entitlements.plist Payload/*.app
zip -r Resigned.ipa Payload
When I verify the app with verbose output I receive the message
A sealed resource is missing or invalid
This is followed by a list of .dll files in the .monotouch-32 folder with a message such as:
"file modified: /foo/bar/Payload/foo.app/.monotouch-32/Xamarin.Forms.Core.dll".
When I inspect the listed dll's, they are all .symlink's to their .monotouch-64 counterpart. Any specific .monotouch-32 file is not listed as modified.
Any ideas how I can get around this issue?
It might not be your only issue but zip requires the use of -y for symlinks.
If that does not help then please edit your question to add the commands (and their outputs) used to sign and verify. You should also compare the .ipa (.zip) before and after.
Hi I was facing similar issue. For Xamarin related ipa's its always better o resign the Monotouch and .dll files separately.Please check below command for same
sudo codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: abcd" --entitlements
entitlements.plist Payload/myApp.app/.monotouch-32/*.dll
Same for Monotouch-64
sudo codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: abcd" --entitlements
entitlements.plist Payload/myApp.app/.monotouch-64/*.dll
By executing the above commands all the files inside the Payload file will get resigned properly
I tried to resign one IPA file (Project is build under HTML 5) using this following scripts,
unzip application.ipa
rm -r "Payload/Application.app/_CodeSignature" "Payload/Application.app/CodeResources" 2> /dev/null | true
cp "/Users/playdom/Desktop/BA/Code/Profiles/something.mobileprovision" "Payload/Application.app/embedded.mobileprovision"
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: something" --resource-rules "Payload/Application.app/ResourceRules.plist" "Payload/Application.app"
zip -qr "Application.test.ipa" Payload
=========================
And it changes the sign and I can install the Build at my device. But the problem is whenever I tried to start my application it shows the splash screen and crash!!! I checked the IPA with default Profile (I wanted to change...) and it works ok. That means the problem is in the resign process!!!
I tried check the Xcode/Organizer/Console and saw it shows entitlement issue!!. I followed the same script and process with other IPA (Build under Obj C) it works fine. I don't understand what is the issue? Do I need to change the info.plist, Bundle identifier? I tried that but after that it don't even install!!. Any body has any idea?
I don't know how that's supposed to work. You can't run a build that's signed for the App Store distribution on a device. I always take my App Store builds and re-sign them with a development provisioning profile to test them on a device.
How do I sign the .ipa file with a provisioning profile after I generate an IPA like the following with a different provision profile? I would like to sign the IPA with an ad-hoc provisioning profile for beta testing, and then re-sign the exact IPA with an app submission provisioning profile for the app store.
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v "${RELEASE_BUILDDIR}/${APPLICATION_NAME}.app" -o "${BUILD_HISTORY_DIR}/${APPLICATION_NAME}.ipa" --sign "${DEVELOPER_NAME}" --embed "${PROVISONING_PROFILE}"
It's really easy to do from the command line. I had a gist of a script for doing this. It has now been incorporated into the ipa_sign script in https://github.com/RichardBronosky/ota-tools which I use daily. If you have any questions about using these tools, don't hesitate to ask.
The heart of it is this:
CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=`xcrun --find codesign_allocate`; export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE
IPA="/path/to/file.ipa"
PROVISION="/path/to/file.mobileprovision"
CERTIFICATE="Name of certificate: To sign with" # must be in keychain
# unzip the ipa
unzip -q "$IPA"
# remove the signature
rm -rf Payload/*.app/_CodeSignature
# replace the provision
cp "$PROVISION" Payload/*.app/embedded.mobileprovision
# sign with the new certificate (--resource-rules has been deprecated OS X Yosemite (10.10), it can safely be removed)
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "$CERTIFICATE" Payload/*.app
# zip it back up
zip -qr resigned.ipa Payload
Your new signed app is called resigned.ipa
Check iResign for an easy tool on how to do this!
[edit] after some fudling around, I found a solution to keychain-aware resigning. You can check it out at https://gist.github.com/Weptun/5406993
Kind of old question, but with the latest XCode, codesign is easy:
$ codesign -s my_certificate example.ipa
$ codesign -vv example.ipa
example.ipa: valid on disk
example.ipa: satisfies its Designated Requirement
The answers posted here all didn't quite work for me. They mainly skipped signing embedded frameworks (or including the entitlements).
Here's what's worked for me (it assumes that one ipa file exists is in the current directory):
PROVISION="/path/to/file.mobileprovision"
CERTIFICATE="Name of certificate: To sign with" # must be in the keychain
unzip -q *.ipa
rm -rf Payload/*.app/_CodeSignature/
# Replace embedded provisioning profile
cp "$PROVISION" Payload/*.app/embedded.mobileprovision
# Extract entitlements from app
codesign -d --entitlements :entitlements.plist Payload/*.app/
# Re-sign embedded frameworks
codesign -f -s "$CERTIFICATE" --entitlements entitlements.plist Payload/*.app/Frameworks/*
# Re-sign the app (with entitlements)
codesign -f -s "$CERTIFICATE" --entitlements entitlements.plist Payload/*.app/
zip -qr resigned.ipa Payload
# Cleanup
rm entitlements.plist
rm -r Payload/
Fastlane's sigh provides a fairly robust solution for resigning IPAs.
From their README:
Resign
If you generated your ipa file but want to apply a different code signing onto the ipa file, you can use sigh resign:
fastlane sigh resign
sigh will find the ipa file and the provisioning profile for you if they are located in the current folder.
You can pass more information using the command line:
fastlane sigh resign ./path/app.ipa --signing_identity "iPhone Distribution: Felix Krause" -p "my.mobileprovision"
It will even handle provisioning profiles for nested applications (eg. if you have watchkit apps)
I've updated Bryan's code for my Sierra iMac:
# this version was tested OK vith macOs Sierra 10.12.5 (16F73) on oct 0th, 2017
# original ipa file must be store in current working directory
IPA="ipa-filename.ipa"
PROVISION="path-to.mobileprovision"
CERTIFICATE="hexadecimal-certificate-identifier" # must be in keychain
# identifier maybe retrieved by running: security find-identity -v -p codesigning
# unzip the ipa
unzip -q "$IPA"
# remove the signature
rm -rf Payload/*.app/_CodeSignature
# replace the provision
cp "$PROVISION" Payload/*.app/embedded.mobileprovision
# generate entitlements for current app
cd Payload/
codesign -d --entitlements - *.app > entitlements.plist
cd ..
mv Payload/entitlements.plist entitlements.plist
# sign with the new certificate and entitlements
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "$CERTIFICATE" '--entitlements' 'entitlements.plist' Payload/*.app
# zip it back up
zip -qr resigned.ipa Payload
Unzip the .ipa file by changing its extension with .zip
Go to Payload. You will find .app file
Right click the .app file and click Show package contents
Delete the _CodeSigned folder
Replace the embedded.mobileprovision file with the new provision profile
Go to KeyChain Access and make sure the certificate associated with the provisional profile is present
Execute the below mentioned command:
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Certificate Name" --resource-rules "Payload/Application.app/ResourceRules.plist" "Payload/Application.app"
Now zip the Payload folder again and change the .zip extension with .ipa
Hope this helpful.

It supposed to help you resign the IPA file. I tried it myself but couldn't get pass an error with Entitlements.plist. Could just be a problem with my project. You should give it a try.
I have been using https://github.com/xndrs/XReSign and it is working really well.
