Xcode 5 Error ITMS-9000 Invalid Provisioning Profile - ios

I've downloaded and checked all of my distribution certificates, as well as provisioning profiles. I keep getting this error message:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle com.-----.---- [---.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate.] .....
Read that I need to download the distribution com.----.---- provisioning profile but I only have a APPNAME provisioning profile. Downloaded it anyway and still have the same issues.
I've gone through and downloaded all possible combinations, but still can't get anything to work with application loader. Everything before has worked fine until I had to upgrade to a new MBP.
Do I revoke anything even though it's valid for another 6 months?

AppStore submission has 2 steps:
Build archive (via Xcode Archive command)
Build ipa for submission (via Organizer / Application Loader)
Each of them require certificate, provisioning and entitlements (in provisioning) for separate (but related) use.
You should use the same provisioning for the two steps. If you can’t find the exact old provisioning, you may consider re-archive the app. I don’t know why Apple splits these steps as they are highly related.

I also have this issue.
It seems to me that the key is to make sure that the "product" you are dealing with has been associated with a DISTRIBUTION provisioning profile that has been signed by the code signing identity which has the right to upload items to the app store (typically a company, or an individual developer).
However, the problem I typically face is that the *.app "product" at the foot of the project navigator list (in the 'products' group) is NOT the output of the archive operation. I can tell this from the time stamp. I do not know where the archive operation places its product. (Perhaps someone here can explain how this works).
As a consequence, what I do is I set ALL the provisioning profiles in the 'Code Signing' section of the 'Build Settings' to the DISTRIBUTION provisioning profile. I then "BUILD for RUN". This results in a *.app file in the 'Products' section of the 'Project Navigator' pane that, while it is the result of a "Build to Run" operation, is properly signed for distribution. I can tell that the *.app product is "fresh" by the time stamp.
It is then this *.app product which I compress and deploy using Application Loader.
This seemed to work - today.
(I confess that I am an amateur and I find the provisioning process somewhat cargo-cult-like, and what I write above may be a kind of infantile superstition about what works.)

I had the same error. To fix this you must do the following:
When you "click" on Build, please go to:
Product -> Build for -> Profiling
Your file (.app) are created.
To achieve this archive it should do the next step:
XCode -> Preferences ->
Choose the "locations" option, and you will get a screen with different options and routes. Select the route: Derived Data.
You take the app file, and the other file App.dSYM generated in the default folder "release-iphoneos" ... to update these two files in iTunes, you should compress these two files and upload with "Application loader".
Works fine, good luck

You should also download the certificate from Apple and also put p12 of this certificate (=private exported certificate key) file to your keychain.

This is my proble to upload my app ..
I try to more then 10 time to upload my app but not accept itune store
then i take this process and after accept my app
after then i same change as following here
In plist file are show here
then i take change to here for bundle name is wrong and "test code" space are remove
after then change is
Then I upload my app in itune and accept itune store
really this is works. thanks

Just clean all the things.
Check the developer/distribution certificate and mobile provision profile properly created, if not then revoke them from developer account and create all new one.
Remove all profiles from /Users/yourSystemName/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
Now, Export all certificates and keys from your keychain and Save them as backup for using them again.
Now install your developer/Distribution certificate first and install provisioning profile. And upload your application. This is tested way and should resolve your issue. Thanks.

Just clean your project files - that worked for me after receiving this error.

There's been an error parsing your app's provisioning profile. Ensure you are uploading a validly signed IPA and try again

I have a problem while trying to upload my application to firebase. This is how this error looks like:
And actually I have no idea why it happens. Could it be because of development certificates? Or could it be because of packages versions?
I have done everything according to Firebase SDK instructions, but it still doesn't work. Also, the problem is, that I just can't find any info about this error in internet. So, what is the reason of this? And how can I fix that?
PS. By the way, about .ipa file. I create it in this way.
Copy Runner.app to desktop.
Create Payload folder.
Paste Runner.app in this folder, compress it, and change .zip to .ipa
Go to your Apple Developer Profile and make sure you have an active Apple Developer subscription (your $100 (or your local currency) fee is paid), and you have the correct certificates, and signing installed onto your device, and you have a correct bundle ID linked to each of said certificates, etc. If you made any corrections, create a new .ipa file, and retry the upload process.
There is an option in Xcode under Signing & Capabilities to have Xcode manage your provisioning profile.

Xcode 7.3: Your account already has a valid iOS Development certificate [duplicate]

I'm having trouble exporting an app for Ad Hoc Distribution on Xcode 6 beta 2:
When exporting my project for ad hoc development on Xcode 6, I receive this alert. I've tried exporting it on Xcode 5 and had no problems at all saving the .ipa. Is anyone experiencing this problem as well?
I've had the same issue two days ago. Turns out the problem was:
I have my own developer distribution certificate with a proper private key
I have enterprise developer distribution certificate of my client without a private key
I try to make an enterprise distribution package for my client
Xcode throws at me vague error: Your account already has a valid iOS distribution certificate
The solution is: get a private key for enterprise account of my client. There are 2 possible options:
Ask you client for credentials to access his enterprise developer account on Apple website. Revoke old certificate and recreate it. You'll create the private key in the process. BEWARE: revoking an enterprise distribution certificate invalidates all apps that were signed and deployed with that certificate (official info).
Ask your client to export his private key from his Keychain Access application as a *.p12 file and send it to you with a password. You can't download the existing private key from the Apple website. The only way to get it is to ask your client. I did it and it and I was able to finally make the package.
How to find out if you have a private key for a certificate: Open Keychain Access application. Choose certificates. Find your certificate. If you see small grey triangle on the left side of the certificate, open it and you see your private key. No triangle = no private key.
This is what worked for me.
On my machine I kept both Xcode 5 and Xcode 6 beta.
From Xcode 6 beta, Archive the project. Close Xcode 6.
Open Xcode 5, go to Organizer and export as Ad Hoc build with proper provisioning profile.
That's it!
I had the same problem, I had to use the command line "xcodebuild" tool as a workaround, with only Xcode 6 installed (didn't have to re-install Xcode 5).
http://www.thecave.com/2014/09/16/using-xcodebuild-to-export-a-ipa-from-an-archive/
Example:
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath $projectname.xcarchive -exportPath $projectname -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile "Provisioning Profile Name"
In my case, what solved the problem was deleting all Distribution Certificates from my Apple Developer Account. Then, Xcode managed to create development and distribution certificates again, and that did the trick.
I get a solution without renew the certificate:
1 - Archive the target with the appropiate Code Signing Identity and Provisioning Profile
2 - Right button in the created file in Organizer --> Show in Finder
3 - Right button in the xcarchive file --> Show package content
4 - There, in Finder, go to Products/Applications/
5 - Upload the file Products/Applications/appName to iTunes
6 - When the app appear in iTunes, right click on it --> Show in Finder. This is the ipa file
7 - Send this ipa through App Loader 3.0
I dont think that it is a lasting solution but do not want to delete my certificates
FINALLY SOLVED IT!!
1) Create a NEW production certificate through developer.apple.com which requires you to use Keychain Access to create a new private key on your computer
2) In the same developer portal, open your distribution Provisioning Profile used with this app and select the new production certificate which you just created. Generate the provision then download it and run it
3) Run your app, Archive it, then export the archive.
viola
This took me days if not weeks to figure out, I hope it helps you.
Create new iOS Distributon Certificate and choose Production> App Store & AdHoc section. Also don't forget to change Target>Build Settings> Code Signing all to iOS Distribution.(but after created ipa set it back to iOS Developer)
Only this solved my problem.
I faced the same issue today with Xcode 6.1.1
When I tried to add iOS Distribution certificate via Xcode the error I got was the same. There were already several issued distribution certificates in Member Center and I did not want to invalidate them because if they are used for Ad Hoc distribution in an Enterprise environment this would also invalidate the applications that are installed on the devices (at least this is what I've read).
What I did was:
1. Through Keychain Access generated a request for a certificate from a certification authority. And saved the request to a file;
2. Logged in to Member Center certificates area Production section and requested a new "App Store and Ad Hoc" production certificate, this requested the file from step 1;
3. Downloaded the new certificate and when imported in Keychain Access it now had a private key.
Afterwords I cleaned Xcode, restarted it, checked that in my account the profile is visible and built a new Archive. And now I was able to validate the archive.
Now if I try to request a new "App Store and Ad Hoc" certificate this option is grayed out for me and I suppose this is because my account already has the certificate issued. If this is your case you will most probably need to invalidate your previous certificate before you can issue a new one. This is why Apple recommend backing up your certificate. But it is very likely that you will not need to invalidate all production certificates as I already have a number of those in the profile.
Hope this helps someone :)
Apple has changed the way of Ad Hoc build. Now you can't make Ad Hoc distribution builds using dev cert. You should use a distribution cert with an "Ad Hoc" provisioning profile instead.
I believe the actual reason you ended up in this screen is while trying to get the .ipa file to be distributed to your testers and clients.
In Xcode 6, to get the .ipa file you may use the old method for iPA generation:
Select organiser in Xcode. In the Archives tab select the Archive whose iPA file you need to generate.
Right click and select option “Show in Finder”
You will see the .xarchive file. Right click and select “Show Package Contents”
You will see folders: dSYMs, Info.plist and Products.
Open Products>Applications and you will see your .app file.
Drag and drop this .app file to iTunes in Mac.
Your .app file will be listed under "My Apps" in iTunes.
Right click on your application and select “Show in Finder”.
Now you have the .ipa file which you can send to your testers for testing.
Hope this helps.
There has been changes in way apple manages our private and public key.
The previous method to share account on two machine was
1.download provisioning
2.export/checkout certificate
install them both on the other mac
but now you dont have to do that you export your entire account.
1.XCode -> preferences -> account (select account) on bottom left there is option to export that
you will be prompted to give a password give any it will be required while importing on other system.A .developerprofile file will be downloaded on location of your choice.
2.download it on other mac and when you see the prompt your device already have valid signing identity click on import Developer Profile and import this .developerprofile file. enter password when prompted.
got help from here
I resolved it following the next steps:
1)in your apple developer account: Create a new Production Certificate Choose the App Store and Ad Hoc Option
2)in your apple developer account: Create a new provisioning profile with you current bundle id and the certificate created in the step one
3)in your xcode:
Select your target
In the tab Build Settings in the zone Code Signing
In the sub-zone Code Signing Identity - Release
Set your new distribution certificate (ad hoc)
In the Provisioning Profile - set your new provisioning profile (ad hoc)
Seems that xcode 6 now requires an ad hoc distribution certificate in order to export your IPA.
I got the same issue today, and found a good solution I think.
First of all, there're something unnormal:
the normal is:
and in the keychain:
the normal is:
then, I realize that I lack the the correct provisioning profile which contains the correct iOS Distribution certificate.
Finally, my solution is: use my CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest file to generate a new iOS distribution certificate, and use the new iOS distribution certificate to generate a new provisioning profile.
Note, I don't delete the old certification and provisioning profile, because my colleague works well with them. Does this affect the apps I already published? The answer is NO. I just change the code signing certificate, and some important certificate like push notification certificate is ties with app ID:
So don't worry about that.
Hope the above is helpful.
As pointed out by a commenter this has proven to be a solution for myself and others:
I deleted and re-downloaded all my required certificates along with the keys needed to generate and i was able to get past this error
I revoke my producion certificates, and request another one, solve this problem.
Maybe you need restart your xcode.
I just encountered this after upgrading from Xcode 5 to 6.
In my case creating a new production certificate and then recreating the distribution provisioning profile for my app did the trick.
In the official latest Xcode 6.0, this will happen if you accidentally created a record in your entitlements file that has a key like this:
com.apple.security.application-groups
I am not sure if Xcode automatically created it by default. But deleting that key solved my problem. I didn't have to recreate any certificates. It was not my problem.
I solved this by simply regenerating the provisioning profile on the developer portal (in my case an App Store profile) and adding to my computer via iPhone Configuration Utility. I didn't want to mess with the certificates and successfully avoided that.
I noticed this error message logged from Xcode in my console:
None of the valid provisioning profiles allowed the specified entitlements: application-identifier, beta-reports-active, keychain-access-groups.
After downloading a the new provisioning profile, the missing beta-reports-active = true was present and Xcode signed the build.
My Solution was Delete the only iOS Production Certificate which I'm using and create it again. Doing this, you must create a new Provisioning profile assigning the certificate just created.
then I did the process of Archive again and works!
Additionally I found that Xcode Accounts come into play -
It turned out that I did have a valid distribution certificate on my personal account (mobilology) so I deleted that account temporarily from the Accounts section (you may wish to leave only that account that you are distributing from).
Suddenly the signing / archiving process worked!
Step1:-Login to your apple developer account
Step2:-Choose Certificates
Step3:-Delete if there are more than one distribution certificates
Step4:-Then retry archiving ( if error still exist, revoke all certificates and create new distribution certificate and edit your provision profiles.)
I think its a bug from Xcode. to make it work, i need delete the actual distribution provisional profile and i had to make a new provisional distribution profile from devcenter. This works from me
I also faced the same problem, i was using development certificate instead of Adhoc. Issue is fixed after using Adhoc certificate.
Delete you ios Distribution certificate from the apple developer site and regenrate the ios Distribution with the certSignReq file. Works for me always. Your other apps wouldnt be affected . Atleast in my case it never did.
In my case I generated a new distribution profile and added it to XCode, then tried to submit the build. Turns out, all I had to do to get rid of this message is restart XCode and attempt again to submit. Worked.
In my case, I got the error message when trying to export and AdHoc build from Organizer. I did two things, either of which may have fixed the issue:
1) Exported the existing certificate it claimed I did not have from my keychain, deleted it from keychain, re-imported.
2) Created an ad-hoc distribution certificate, refreshed XCode account to obtain the new distribution provisioning profile.
After that I was able to export the exact same archive to an AdHoc build. I really think it was only that fact I was missing an ad-hoc distribution that targeted that specifc bundleID that led to XCode being confused.
Followup: The archive I had created before did not work, I had to re-generate it. A clue this was an issue was that when selecting the archive and opting to export an Ad-Hoc build, the default account selected was the wrong account for the build (the project had no default account selected when I archived the build).
This is what worked for me (Enterprise Account)
Import the developer profile from the other machine, which loaded the certificate I needed with the secret key.
Rename the app bundle to the enterprise name (it was named under the app store name).
Change the team name in the "General" tab to my company's team - it was defaulting to my personal developer account!
With these changes, I could export an ipa as both ad-hoc and enterprise, upload it to Hockey Rink, and download it on my phone

Xcode: Problems with getting my App to the AppStore

I am trying to upload my app to the AppStore with Application Loader
I tried to archive my project in order to generate the "ipa" file for Application Loader and the archive process got stuck at "Compiling swift sources" for almost 5hrs; I took to the response I read from - Xcode 6.0 taking forever to archive my project and I successfully generated the .ipa file with iTunes but while trying to upload with Application Loader, I get the error:
ERROR ITMS-90161: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning
profile included in the bundle com.youngbobby.MyAppName
[Payload/MyAppName.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing
certificate]. A Distribution Provisioning profile should be used when
submitting apps to the App Store. For more information, visit the iOS
Developer Portal."
I have generated my keychain certificate and my distribution provisioning profile and I still get that error during submission. Do you think the error is related to the method I used? Do I have to maintain the traditional "archive" method? If yes, what would be the fastest way to archive and generate my .ipa file? I have tried enabling Whole Module Optimisation as suggested here all to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
I did a quick check on why my archive process was stuck at "Compiling swift sources" using "cmd + 8" and I noticed that my local Data store swift file which is a long Dictionary of type [[String:Anyobject]] was the cause of the problem. I can't really explain why it is so but I want to maintain the traditional method of archive and send because it seems using iTunes to generate my ipa file does not agree with my provisioning profile.
When you are building the project, it is still building for debugging, hence it is using the development provisioning profile.
Before you do the build to create the .app, go to the Scheme (just to the right of the stop button, to the left of the device on which you are running).
Click that and choose "Edit Scheme..."
Under the Run section, there is a setting for Build Configuration.
Change that from Debug to Release (if you are using the standard build config and you have configured the Release config to use your distribution profile and signing identity).
Close that window, then change your device to the generic "iOS Device option (make sure you don't have any devices plugged into your Mac).
Once you've done that, run your build again and the ipa created should be built with your release configuration and signed correctly.
You are probably using a Development Provisioning profile.
Go to your dev center.
Create a new provisioning profile, select App Store and select your bundle ID. create that and download it.
Control drag that provisioning profile to Xcode, Change build settings in target and project to the one you downloaded now and as Distribution.
Compile and build your app. Archive it and start uploading it to App store.
That should do it.
P.S do select your team correctly before you configure your build settings.
EDIT
If you already have done these steps just revoke the old one and create a new Provisioning profile and check.
Finally got my problem solved.
It seems all I needed to do while my app was compiling swift sources was to WAIT
I reduced the amount of Data in my Datastore file and the Archive process took less than 10 seconds to archive.
Pity, Xcode does not show a Timer to calculate how long it would take to archive a project and looking at the progress bar does not really guarantee that the process is working as in my case was a relatively huge one. So, maintaining the huge data I had, I simply had a 6hr nap and by the time I was up, my project was successfully archived and all other processes worked seamlessly :)
If you find your project 'stuck at compiling swift sources' during Archive Process, all you need to do is Wait.

A clue this was an issue was that when selecting the archive and opting to export an Ad-Hoc build, the default account selected was the wrong account for the build (the project had no default account selected when I archived the build).
This is what worked for me (Enterprise Account)
Import the developer profile from the other machine, which loaded the certificate I needed with the secret key.
Rename the app bundle to the enterprise name (it was named under the app store name).
Change the team name in the "General" tab to my company's team - it was defaulting to my personal developer account!
With these changes, I could export an ipa as both ad-hoc and enterprise, upload it to Hockey Rink, and download it on my phone

Xcode 4 - A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted

Issue:
I have created an app, distributed an ad-hoc version and successfully uploaded it under Organizer - Devices. So far so good. Now, i've tried a 2nd app. When i uploaded this one, i get the following message:
A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted.
I googeld for a while and tried the following things:
avoid special chars in the projectname
clear the build
delete derived data under Organizer - Projects
renew my Certificate
renew all my provisioning profiles
i've made a new and minimalistic project
It failed all. Same message every time.
Hopefully someone can help me, please.
I had the same issue and what worked for me was deleting the Derived Data (in Organizer).
Make sure you created the app ID for both apps in the Apple Developer Portal. Usually 'com.companyname.appname' as Bundle Identifier
Create both certificates and download them.
Check if you can open those certificates on your keychain. If you see an arrow next to the certificate name you can use the certificate. That means that you have the matching key for that certificate.
Create both provisioning profiles as Ad-Hoc and assign the App ID you just created.
If you have not added your devices to the device list, do it in this step.
Add the device to both provisioning profiles
Download and open the provisioning profiles (A tool I find very useful to manage provisioning profiles is the iPhone Configuration Utility)
In XCode on your project file select the target and in the 'Summary' tab type the Bundle Identifier.
Now go to Build Settings tab and select Code Signing and select your Bundle identifier
Clean and run.
It is because you are having two apps with same bundle name in your derived data folder. Simply delete one then the bug gone.
