Code signing is required for product type 'App

Question

I am facing the below issue and am unable to build the application.

XXX has conflicting provisioning settings. XXX is automatically provisioned, but provisioning profile WildCard has been manually specified. Set the provisioning profile value to "Automatic" in the build settings editor, or switch to manual provisioning in the target editor. Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.0'

I am also unable to choose a particular profile.

How to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

Holy molly, I had to do all this in order for it to work. A picture is worth a thousand words.

• If you get this error while archiving then continue reading.

  

• Go to your app and click on the general tab. Under the signing section, uncheck "Automatically manage signing". As soon as you do that you will get a status of red error as shown below.

  

• Now here's the tricky part. You need to uncheck "Automatically manage Signing" in both the targets under your project. This step is very important.

  

• Now go under "build settings" tab of each of those targets and set "iOS Developer" under code signing identity. Do the same steps for your "PROJECT".

  

• Now do Xcode → Product → Clean. Close your project in Xcode and reopen it again.

• After this go to the general tab of each of your targets and check "Automatically manage signing" and under team drop down select your developer account

  

• Do an archive of your project again and everything should work.

Really, Apple? Was this supposed to make our lives easier?

If you are finding the following screen and facing the problem of code signing required, then one of the following solutions may help you.

Solution 1. As said before, sign in with an Apple ID. Then you will get options like this, if you enter correct bundle identifier. Then select the appropriate profile from the list.

Solution 2. If you don't want to sign in with your Apple ID, then change a small flag in project.pbxproj file. Find the following text in the project file.

/* Begin PBXProject section */

Change flag ProvisioningStyle = Automatic; to ProvisioningStyle = Manual; Refer to the following image. After changing the flag, you will see the options to select appropriate profile from the list.

Answer 3

Disabling automatic and then re-enabling has solved this for me in Xcode 8 GM seed. This can be done in the project settings, info tab for each target that needs to be signed.
