Code sign error - xcode looking for a deleted provisioning profile. What to do?

[BioBuff]

Hi guys,

1. Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloaded 4.1 SDk and apps all work fine in the simulator. Tried testing on a 3.0 device - set deployment target to 3.0. downloaded certificated and profiles and they show up in the organizer just fine. Profile also shows on the device. Deleted old profile, so only one profile is on the device.

2. Did clean build, but it failed. It says code sign error and it is looking for a profile that is old.

3. Before downloading 4.1 SDk, ran terminal and properly deleted the old xcode, so fils and folders are cleaned out.

Maybe I am not setting the profile correctly under info > build. I simply selected the developer name under code sign; saw nothing else to select. This is different than the older SDK where I had to select the actual provisioning profile itself. has this changed?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem. I have a free app that I would like to submit all done. Just can't get passed this.

I solved it. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly what did it, but I did five things in this order:

1. Deleted the provisioning profile for that device in xcode. And also deleted the profile in xcode as well. Closed xCode.

2. Disconnected device from machine and deleted the profile there as well. Then turned off the device and powered it back up.

3. Opened xCode. Reconnected device to the machine ONLY AFTER xCode had re-booted. xCode recognized the device. Then added reinstalled the provisioning profile directly to the device using the organizer window.

4. Confirmed that the deployment target was 3.0 (this is a 3.0 device) and made sure the profile was selected under code signing. Also confirmed profile was on the device.

5. Clean build, Build and Run, and it installed on device and ran fine.

I have now pushing apps for testing to a 3.0 and 4.1 device. Hope this helps you out.

Hmmm, I don't think you can use SDK 4.x to test a 3.x device. Someone please correct me if I am wrong

I can correct you since I am doing it. All you do is Info>Build>Deployment>iOS Deployment Target>Set to 3.X

Clean, then Build and Run. I have two devices 3.0 and 4.1 and both testing apps just fine.

I should give credit where it is due. I asked on this board and got the answer here:

Maybe we are not having the same problem mine is when I go to build to get the binary to submit. it fails code signing. If someone has skype and teamviewer and feels like being nice to check my certificates and stuff please add me on skype. I have been working on fixing this issue for 3 days on an app that took me 5 to make.

You are correct. A different problem. Your issue is your distribution profile.

OK, before you do the build/release, did you go under info>build and change your code signing profile to the distribution one? It will fail code signing if you try build/release with the provisioning profile still checked off.

Yes I have this is really aggravating. Here is everything I did

First I created the request in keychain access
then uploaded that file to Certificates>Development and Certificates>Distrubution
Next I downloaded the wwdc double clicked it and it poped in keychain
Then downloaded both the Dev Cert and the Dist Cer and double click and both poped in keychain. ( with private key under each)

Then i created an App ID

Next I went to Provisioning>Distrubution Clicked New profile
Selected Appstore
Enter a name
Check my certifate
Select the app ID for the drop box
And submit

Now I download the mobile provison and dragged it to xcode so it pops in organizer.

Next i open my project and Duplicate the release
Go to code signing and select iPhone Distrubution: My Name
Then go to properties and enter the app id under identifier

Build and I get

Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate. (-19011)

SO i read to try this

Set the code signing to dont sign
clean all targets
close xcode
delete all directories in the build folder
open xcode
change code signing back
Build

Still fail with same
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate. (-19011)

----------

So then i thought it was just my app or something

so I made a new project and did the exact same things
and same error
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate. (-19011)

So I really don't know

I am starting to just want to give up on the app. Its a free app that I created for myself and I wanted to share so i paid the $99 lol to share it and I am lost.


Any help would be great but i seriously feel i have read every tutorial on the subject over the last 3 days I have spend 4-5hrs a day on this.

UPDATE: Ok well someone on youtube said he had a similar problem he teamviewed me and checked everything he said it was totally perfect. He suggested uninstalling xcode and reinstalling it. And it worked! IDK what the deal was but reinstalling xcode worked. Anyone else having this problem could also try this.

First Read the section on "Publishing Your Application for Testing" in the iOS Development Guide: <http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/iphone_development/145-Distributing_Applications/distributing_applications.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007959-CH10-SW1>

If that doesn't help this technote supplements the Development Guide: TN2250: "Understanding and Resolving Code Signing Issues" @ <http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/technotes/tn2010/tn2250.html>.

hi,

I meet the same error after update my iPhone to iOS 4.1. I fix the error by doing the steps in the tutorial wrote by me. Here is the tutorial:

Fix “Code Sign error” error after update iOS

Hope it will solve your problem too.

I figured out the same thing for the previous version of Xcode. How in the world do you do the same thing in the new very crappy IDE? There isn't an edit project settings anymore. I like the old interface 100 times better. Apple can be so frustrating!

I found it. You have to select your project in the navigation window. Then you can see the build settings options. That was not obvious to find...

I've had the same problem with a old profile that I've deleted... after days trying to find how to solve in my case I have solved just changing in the target preferences to "iPhone developer" in automatic..., and when I've tried to run xCode has got it the right one and has launched in my device
