No code signing identities found - ios

When I try to create a new Xcode project named Twitter Searches I get the following error. However if I use a different name I am able to build the project with no errors. What does this mean?
No code signing identities found: No valid signing identities (i.e. certificate and private key pair) matching the team ID “(null)” were found

You have to log into developer.apple.com and register an app identifier and create a Certificate for it, then create and download a Development provisioning profile. The bundle identifier of the app has to match between your Developer account and Xcode.

if you want to run on real device(iPhone,iPad),you need certificate and provisioning profile,if you don't have them you can run on simulator. to get these certificate and provision profile you have to buy member ship program from https://developer.apple.com
to know more about this follow the link How to enrol IOS developer account
Edit :
Now with the new xcode 7 we can run our app on our device freely without any certificates and provisioning profiles.

Creating developer provisioning profile but showing ineligible

By mistake I removed the existing developer provisioning profile. So I am trying to create a new developer provisioning profile but each time it is showing ineligible.
Role of my user in the team is agent. App id, adhoc, and distribution provisioning profiles are created under that team with my ID which is working fine. I downloaded all developer and distribution certificates also. But in my keychain I found private key missing for the developer certificate but present for distribution certificate.
At the time of creation of the developer provisioning profile I am selecting all the available signing certificate and all the device ids. In my Xcode project when I am trying to select the developer provisioning profile, which is showing ineligible, I am getting the error message:
"Provisioning profile 'dev_provisioning_profile' doesn't include signing certificate 'iPhone Developer:'. No certificate matching 'iPhone Developer: ' for team 'team_name'.
What should I do to create valid developer provisioning profile?
Finally solved the issue. Just writing the steps. Not so sure that these are the exact steps but worked for me, may be helpful to others-
Delete the developer certificate that does not have a private key.
Then first check then uncheck the Automatically manage signing option in the project settings with selecting team.
Select provisioning profile in the project settings.
Delete the provisioning profile from machine.
Sign in developer account and edit the provisioning profile selecting all available developer certificates
Download the provisioning profile and add to XCODE.
By following these steps the provisioning profile becomes eligible and working fine.
You should delete the developer certificate that does not have a private key especially if there are multiple instances with the same identity. Also an easy way to solve this may be to uncheck then check the Automatically manage signing option in the project settings.

App Distribution Provisioning Profile and Signing Issues

I've been trying to publish my app (on ios for the first time) for a few days now. Every time I try to submit, I usually get an error in the application loader telling me that the provisioning profile doesn't line up with the signing identity. I can't figure this out! Here is what I've done:
created an iOS Distibution signing identity via Xcode account management
created an App ID (wildcard) via apple dev portal
created an app store (distribution) provisioning profile (associated with said App ID and iOS signing ID) and installed it on my mac
Using RoboVM tools, I generate an IPA with said signing identity and distribution provisioning profile. (Because this is a LibGdx game)
created an App in itunes connect (bundle ID being that of the one used for my app ID)
When I try to send to itunes connect via application loader, I get an error reading "The executable must be signed with the certificate that is contained in the provisioning profile." This is driving me insane so I thought I would see if I could find help here. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Turns out my mac was mixing up delicately named signing identities. I deleted them all and redid the process. works now!
Check the following things:
Do you select the right certificate in the profile?
Do you select the right profile in the Xcode?
Certificate and profile are valid.

Xcode 7.1 certificate issue and invalid profiles

We are two devs working on the same ios project, using same developer id. When one of us runs app on device, xcode offers to fix a certificate issue. After agree, xcode kills all existing certificates and invalidates provisioning profiles. This kills each other provisioning profiles.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create developer certificate and provisioning profile.
2. Share it with other developer.
3. Create new profile by xcode when it says "there is no profile to run on device" (and gets "Fix issue" button).
Expected Results:
Previously created provisioning profiles and developer certificates should remain valid.
Actual Results:
It invalidates existing developer certificates and provisioning profiles.
Version:
xcode 7.1
How we can fix this issue?
Never use the "Fix issue" button is one of the best tips given by this article : http://blog.jaredsinclair.com/post/116436789850/follow-these-guidelines-and-never-struggle-with).
Instead learn how to manage provisioning profiles:
1/ Connect to your member center from http://developer.apple.com
2/ Generate a developer certificate, you will have to share the private key with your other developer to use the same account (or you could invite him if you had an entreprise account)
3/ Register your device UDIDs
4/ Generate a development provisioning profile
5/ Configure your project to use this provisioning profile and developer certificate
6/ Build and run on your devices (and never struggle again with provisioning with provisioning profiles!)
Here is all the documentation you need: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/MaintainingCertificates/MaintainingCertificates.html
Hope that helps.

Xcode Archive Error

When i try to archive me app in Xcode, it gives me an error that i don't have a provisioning profile. how do i get one. i have an IOS Development account.
I tried to upload a distribution certificate, but it did not work. why?
The Error says...
XCode attempted to locate or generate matching signing assets and failed to do so because of the following issues.
you account already had a valid IOS Distribution certificate
visit member center or import developer profile.
There are certificates and there are profiles, they are two different things. It sounds like you have a distribution certificate. Go to the developer portal, and then go the the identities, certificates, and profiles.
Profiles will be at the bottom. You need a distribution profile for your app id. Distribution profiles are then signed by distribution certificates. It is pretty straightforward. Once you create the profile, download it and double click it to add it to your library.

Export the IPA : An App ID with identifier XXX is not available

I am working for a Client and created an iPhone app. My client gave me the AdHoc provisioning profile,certificate and private key for the certificate which i already imported in to my keychain. Then i tried to archieve the project with the given provisioning profile and certificate. I am not a member of his team in the apple developer portal and i am a member of another team which do not have any app with this app bundleID. , i am getting the following error which i try to export the archieve.
Can i archieve the project and export the IPA if am not a member of a team but i have the provisioning profile and certificate for that app?
Can any body guide me how i can export the created archieve.
You have to be a team member since the provisioning profile includes your personal information and uses that in Xcode to build the app.
Another workaround could be to set up your own provisioning profile for the app and include
the devices you want to run it with.
However the most simple solution would be to add you as a team member and to create a fresh certificate.
No you cannot create an IPA if you are not a member of the team.
Things would become easy if your client can add you as a member of his team and tada you can export IPA!
