Code-signing problem

[teslakiiing]

I'm loosing my mind!
First of all,let me just say that i'm a total newb when it comes to this but i've managed to develop an app for my school which I now want to publish.
So I followed all the guides in the provisioning portal and tried to build but get a warning:

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

OK.So what have I done?
1.created a distribution certificate and installed it in my keychain
2.Created an AppID with * as suffix
3.created a distribution provisioning profile and installed by dragging it to xcode icon
4.created a distribution configuration in xcode with my distribution certificate as code signing in both project and target.(however it looks like this:

It feels like I tried every help article I have found and still this problem.
I tested my app on a jailbroken iphone before and used dont codesign but I think I have removed all the traces of this.
I would really appreciate some help

Unfortunately, the only thing I've ever seen help is to go through all the "How To" steps on the iOS Provisioning profile carefully. You might also want to delete your existing certificate and start over.

Sadly, I've never seen anyone figure out anyway to know what went wrong. The error messages from Apple are just not helpful enough.

I'd love it if someone proved me wrong, though.

The annoying thing is that I recon I have done everything exactly like the "how to" and even tried revoking my certificates and deleting all my profiles several times.
Should I perhaps try reinstalling xcode to surely remove the jailbreaking settings(if they even matter)?

Are you making sure that it is building for Device and not Simulator? That's happened to me a few times

i was inthe EXACT boat as you judging by your screenshot, your ios profiles arent showing up properly, I uninstalled, then reinstalled xcode and my problems went away. I advise you to do the same.

because you profiles are supposed to show up under a gray name of your app. when you reinstall you will see what I mean.

yes I have it on device and distribution as active.

I will try to reinstall xcode today and see if it works.

but should i just reinstall xcode or the sdk to?

sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

Found this to uninstall xcode. right or wrong?

I used the command above to uninstall xcode then rebooted. I downloaded xcode and sdk and installed it.Rebooted and created new certficates and profiles and installed according to the "how to". The profiles showed in gray(yeah!) and when I built it successfully validated the code!

I will try using adhoc tomorrow. Thanks for the help.Hopefully people with this problem will succeed by reinstalling.

Hi everyone,
I install sdk4.3 on my machine and now when I'm trying to send the application to apple i get an error.
This version of sdk doesnt allow you to send it.
Do you think, I can unistall Xcode completely with any sdk and reinstall it?
Otherwise there's any other way to send the app?
Thanks Giuliano

4.3 cannot be used to submit apps as stated by Apple. You can download Xcode 4 GM with the 4.2 SDK and use that to submit.

I am using Xcode 4 and something has happened where now I crash Xcode 4 when it tries to codesign with my Team Provisioning profile and my developer certificate.

I can't seem to find a way around it.

Here is the crash:
UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION (NSInvalidArgumentException): -[NSCFArray setObject:forKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x202a52b20
UserInfo: (null)
Hints: None

When I look in organizer it seems happy with the certificates and profiles. I even recreated the team provisioning profile.

I'd appreciate any help/feedback. I am ready for GM candidate #2 of Xcode-- it is a bit buggy..

that looks like to me a problem with your coding of your program, not a code signing problem

Actually not

What it turned out to be was that I had an expired iPhone Developer certificate and a new one. The one that was expired was not shown because Keychain Access by default doesn't show expired certificates (dumb!)

Anyway--Xocde seemed to crash when the codesign utility returned 1 with an error. If I attempted to not sign the code Xcode no longer crashed. Signing crashed it when it failed.

Anyway--once I got rid of the bad certificate I was able to happily move forward.

Xcode 4 is still buggy--I hope they release an update before they really do release. I also have issues with it and subversion--it will not check in localized.strings file at all. Further if I do an update from subversion and it includes an updated project file (from another dev system) Xcode 4 likes to crash again.

Thanks for your reply.
