Code signing broken on Xcode 5.1 + iOS 7.1 - ios

Seems Apple has broken provisioning profiles in Xcode 5.1 ??
Upgraded to Xcode 5.1
Plugged in a device that wasn't registered on Dev Center
Asked Xcode to auto-add it
Result:
Developer Provisioning Profile is now corrupt in Xcode5
The following had no effect:
Restarting Xcode
Deleting profile and re-downloading within Xcode
Check that certificate is valid
Re-building with other profiles for same account/project (i.e. Distribution profiles) that had NOT been changed (works fine)
NOTE: in iPhone Configuration Utility, the profiles shows up as valid with all the registered devices. In Xcode5.1 I get:
Code Sign error: No codesigning identities found: No codesigning
identities (i.e. certificate and private key pairs) that match the
provisioning profile specified in your build settings (“iOS Team
Provisioning Profile: com.irisconnect.betairisconnect”) were found.

Solution: it's Xcode 5.1 that is broken, with a major bug.
If you allow Xcode5 to download provisioning profiles, it now internally corrupts any Developer profiles it downloaded.
If you instead:
quit Xcode
login to web version of Dev Center
manually download the profile
install using iPhone Configuration Utility
Re-start Xcode
...everything works fine.
Note: if you ever do the download within Xcode 5.1, then no amount of restarts will help you :(.
Thanks, Apple.

i had the same problem and was tearing my hair out. thanks to the answer above, i went and looked in keychain access and saw that my previous iPhone Developer certificates were listed as expired. so, i deleted these in keychain access.
then:
1) i went to the apple developer portal (https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/certificate/certificateList.action?type=development), clicked on the development certificate, and clicked download.
2) i dragged that certificate into keychain access (it's a login cert).
3) i went back to xcode, to the build settings code signing section of the project.
4) by hand, i set the provisioning profiles to my team provisioning profile.
5) i went up into the code signing identity section and by hand selected the new code signing identity.
and voila, it worked...my project built.
btw, i went through all that because i had made the fatal error the prior answer indicated, i.e. i had let xcode download a new certificate and then let it try to fix the code signing issue, and got caught in 1 infinite loop...just kept failing...
hope this helps

I got the same problem.
Here is my solution
Download Provision from https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/profile/profileList.action?type=production
You will get the file name "mobileprovision", change it to "YourAppName.mobileprovision"
Now Click open it with xCode
Archive and Submit your application again by Organizer

Here's what worked for me on Xcode 6, iOS 8.
Visit https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/profile/profileList.action?type=production
Revoked all certificates
Closed/restarted XCode.
Attempted to Build/Run again.
This time the Auto Fix process in XCode worked.

Xcode Signing certificate is invalid when build on ext device

I'm trying to solve an issue with Xcode 8.3.3 that prevents me to test my Apps on my devices.
At the moment I'm using a free provisioning account for my tests.
I've worked many months without any problem, then I've upgraded to Sierra and Xcode 8.3.3.
Unfortunately I don't know exactly after what action/update the problem started, because I have not used Xcode for several months.
The issue: when I try to build my app to run on my iPhone, I get these errors in project page, under General > Signing view:
Automatic signing failed
Xcode failed to provision this target. Please file a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com/ and include the Update Signing report from the Report navigator.
Signing certificate is invalid.
Signing certificate "iPhone Developer: edoxxx#me.com (xxxxxxx)", serial number "xxxxxxx", is not valid for code signing. It may have been revoked or expired.
The issue happens either on my main Mac account and also if I create a fresh new user account,
it happens also if I use another AppleID account for code signing.
but it doesn't happens if I boot the same machine into another macOS installation (using the same AppleID and same device). In this last case I'm able to build and run the app without any issue on my device.
Because of that behaviour, I think that is something related to some software crap in the first OS installation, and not related to my user's "data" nor my AppleID account.
I've tried everything I've found on internet to clean-up the Xcode installation, including total removal/reinstall plus Keychain cleanup. But nothing solved the problem.
I've found some related informations in this topic:
https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/83611‌
but no real solution.
Hope that someone could help me :)
Bye,
Edoardo
Here's what worked for me:
Open "Keychain Access"
Find the private key called "iOS Developer"
Delete the private key
Try code signing again, it should work!
I had the same thing happen to me. I discovered my problem was that in my build settings I had set my Code Signing Identity
Debug to iOS Developer
and my
Release to iOS Distribution
Because they were different. One wasn't able to find a signing certificate. The signing certificate I had downloaded was and iOS Developer certificate so when I switched my Code Signing Identity for Release back to iOS Developer everything was fixed.
After further investigation, I've found the problem.
Looking at differences in keychain between my productive machine and the fresh OS installation, I've dicrovered that the "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations" CA was missing in my productive machine (no idea why...).
I've erased all my developer certificates, downloaded new certificates from https://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/.
After the code signing fix in Xcode, I was back able to build and run my app on my device.
Strange that Xcode does not handle this kind of errors correctly, but report a "generic" error about code signing.
Although I added the new, valid certificate to the keychain, it was not working. The solution for me was:
1. Restarting Mac OS (because deleting certificate was not working)
2. Deleting all invalid certificates
You don't have to do something further. The valid certificate is being automatically used for your deployment(/development) provisioning profile.

No matching provisioning profile found error [duplicate]

Before upgrading Xcode to 7.2, I was using Xcode 7.1.1 to build and distribute apps. I have upgraded to Xcode 7.2 and none of my provisioning profiles (matched to that particular app's bundle ID) match my installed certificates that were working in Xcode 7.1.1.
I only get:
Your build settings specify a provisioning profile with the UUID “some_number”, however, no such provisioning profile was found.
I have tried regenerating a .certSigningRequest to generate a new Certificate and Profile and made sure the Team in the General tab of the target is correct. Whenever I select a Provision Profile, all of my Code Signing Identities appear in the Identities in Keychain, but none of them will pair correctly.
It seems setting the Provision Profile to Automatic and the Code Signing Identity to iOS Developer will resolve this error, but the advantage of managing my Provisioning Profiles is gone as I believe Xcode then manages these.
Any thoughts on why setting my Provisioning Profiles and Code Signing Identities to anything but Automatic and iOS Developer produces this error?
I also had some problems after updating Xcode.
I fixed it by opening Xcode Preferences (⌘+,), going to Accounts → View Details. Then select all provisioning profiles and delete them with backspace (note: they can't be removed in Xcode 7.2). Restart Xcode, else the list doesn't seem to update properly.
Now click the Download all button, and you should have all provisioning profiles that you defined in the Member center back in Xcode. Don't worry about the Xcode-generated ones (Prefixed with XC:), Xcode will regenerate them if necessary. Restart Xcode again.
Now go to the Code Signing section in your Build Settings and select the correct profile and cert.
Why this happens at all? No idea... I gave up on understanding Apple's policies regarding app signing.
Try restarting XCode first, before trying these other answers. I was about to follow the advice given in other answers, then noticed multiple people saying that restarting XCode was necessary after all the steps. All I did was restart XCode and it fixed the problem. Who knows if it'll fix the problem for you, but it's worth a shot before trying the other solutions. I'm on XCode 7.2.1.
Keep quitting Xcode until the damn thing works.
I've also the same problem, in Xcode 7.2
It solved by followings steps:-
1) Open Xcode preference,
2) Select the appropriate team,
3) Click the "View Details..".
4) In section "Signing Identities": click on "Reset" for each of them.
5) In section "Provisioning Profiles". Click on "Download All".
6) Click on "Done."
7) Go in Xcode, build settings, select it. In General tab, the issues should get removed.
8) Restart the Xcode.
9) Do the Final build.
That's all.
Download https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer and add it to Keychain access > certificates (which expires on 2023)
Also after I did all of suggested steps (btw, for some reasons backspace not remove provision profile) error keeping occurring. Until I finally figured out to Restart Xcode.
Probably, it should be first step when you're dealing with Xcode :)
Using Xcode 7.3, I spent way too much time trying to figure this out -- none of the answers here or elsewhere did the trick -- and ultimately stumbled into a ridiculously easy solution.
In the Xcode preferences team settings, delete all provisioning profiles as mentioned in several other answers. I do this with right click, "Show in Finder," Command+A, delete -- it seems these details have changed over different Xcode versions.
Do not re-download any profiles. Instead, exit your preferences and rebuild your project (I built it for my connected iPhone). A little while into the build sequence there will be an alert informing you no provisioning profiles were found, and it will ask if you want this to be fixed automatically. Choose to fix it automatically.
After Xcode does some stuff, you will magically have a new provisioning profile providing what your app needs. I have since uploaded my app for TestFlight and it works great.
Hope this helps someone.
Check your Keychain - look in Login and System keychains for expired certificates or error messages.
I found certs with "this certificate has an invalid user" error messages, and an expired Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate.
Delete them and install the new AWDRC certificate from https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer
Then follow the accepted answer to get Xcode to use the new certificates.
For me I tried following 2 steps which sadly did not work :
deleting all provisional profile from Xcode Preferences Accounts → View Details , downloading freshly all provisional profiles.
Restarting Xcode everytime.
Instead, I tried to solve keychain certificate related another issue given here
This certificate has an invalid issuer Apple Push Services
This certificate has an invalid issuer
In keychain access, go to View -> Show Expired Certificates.
Look for expired certificates in Login and System keychains and an "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority".
Delete all expired certificates.
After deleting expired certificates, visit the following URL and download the new AppleWWDRCA certificate, https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer
Double click on the newly downloaded certificate, and install it in your keychain. Can see certificate valid message.
Now go to xcode app. target → Build Setting → Provisioning Profile . Select value from 'automatic' to appropriate Provisioning profile . Bingo!!! profile mismatch issue is solved.
In my case, the problem was that the Archive was being built with a different TEAM-ID than the one who generated the Provisioning Profile (Me). Therefore I Got the error:
"No matching provisioning profile found: Your build settings specify a provisioning profile with the UUID, however, no such provisioning profile was found."
To Solve this:
Clean and Re-Download your Provisioning profiles from Settings
Re-Start Xcode
in the GENERAL Tab of the Project properties, got to TEAM:
Change the current team to the Same team but the one under the ACCOUNT you generated the provisioning profile with.
Clean & Build
Viola!
Hope this helps someone.
I updated to Xcode v7.3.1 and it solved the issue.
With Xcode 7.2.1, if you are certain that your provisioning profile is correct (it has the correct App ID and certificate, and the corresponding certificate exists in your Keychain Access) then set the Code Signing Identity and set the Provisioning Profile to Automatic.
What I did was: created a new provisioning profile and used it. When setup the provisioning profile in the build setting tab, there were the wrong provisioning profile numbers (like "983ff..." as the error message mentioned, that's it!). Corrected to the new provisioning profile, then Xcode 7.2 refreshed itself, and build successfully.
Solutions described here work, but I want to add that you need to have correct target selected on the top left corner of Build Settings in Xcode. Lost some time figuring this out...
You can easily fix the problem by changing bundle identifier on the Apple web page from com.my.app to com.my.app.iOS. I found this solution at https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/15712.
In Xcode 7.3 I got the same error, my certificate and provisional profile both were fine still I was getting the same error, I was unable to delete the provisional profile in Xcode preferences, so I tried by right-clicking on the provisional profile which shows the option to move to trash, but when I clicked nothing happened then I closed the preference window and open it again by Command, the provisional profile was gone and download option was visible, I clicked download and it starting working fine
When distribute to App Store, you choose Product -> Achieve and encounter "code sign error, no matching provisioning profiles found", if account and downloaded .mobileprovision file is ok. Try click the "Build and Run" button to run it on your phone.
And, a dialog box will popup with a button "Fix", just click "Fix" to do next... Last, your device will have an valid provisioning file. Just do "Product -> Achieve" again, everything is OK!
You can also simply go to xcode preferences then accounts and then it may ask you to simply re sign in with your developer profile and then the issues should go away.
Hope this Helps!
For me changing the build configuration from release to Debug solved the issue.
You can find Build Configuration in Edit Scheme -> Run -> Info -> Build Configuration
Clean your project and re run.
In addition to what other users posted, make sure the Team selected on the Target settings (General tab) is the correct one. Xcode will complain it cannot find the Provisioning Profile if the profile belongs to a different team than the one selected.
For me nothing above worked with XCode 7.3.1 because I had nothing in provisioning profiles (expired). I had to connect my iPhone to Mac and then click on Fix provisioning profile which created another profile expires in a week.
For everyone who didn't solve it yet, my Issue was answered by this:

After I have a few hours searching and trying I have two solutions

Code signing error after updating iOS

I have just updated to iOS 6.1 from 6, (i kept putting it off a while back) I have been developing on my iPhone and now close to publishing - but all of a sudden when I run it xCode gives this error:
I have checked and all my code signings are the same on the account and my phone is still authorised.
And here is the project file: Notice the MintfestProfile error:
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Your Certificates and Provisioning Profiles have different exportation dates.
Update any expired Certificates or Provisioning Profile
Delete old profile in Xcode Organizer and Refresh (bottom right button)
Reselect profile in build setting.

Old provisioning profile keeps popping up

I have an app that I have had on the AppStore for a while and I have updated it several times.
After I installed my Mac from scratch without backing up my certificates (as I now know I should), I have been trying to set up the signing process again with no luck. I get the error:
CodeSign error: code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 6.1'
After a couple of attempts I have deleted all certificates in the KeyChain, deleted all provisioning files both in the organizer and on my phone and deleted everything on the provisioning portal.
Then I let Xcode do everything. (XCode 4.6 installed today) It adds both developer and distribution certificates to my keychain and the development and distribution provisioning files to the organizer.
But one strange thing happens. An old provisioning profile that I used on another project a couple of years ago keeps popping up. I wonder why and if it might disturb the signing process?
Below is from the provisioning portal. The lower profile is the old one that keeps popping up. It has another appID. And it is strange that it says. "Managed by XCode" on only that one. I let Xcode do it all. And the date on it is the same as the profile I created today.
Can I get rid of this old one?
Can it be that Xcode is confused and this is the reason?
It's possible that the old provisioning profile is still lingering in your project file. I had a simular problem. Here's how I fixed it: Link
