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

If you get this error while compiling in Microsoft Mobile Center

❌ Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.3'

** ARCHIVE FAILED **

be aware that Mobile center doesn't yet support automatic signing with certificates of type app-store, ad-hoc and enterprise. Automatic signing only works with development certificates.

There are two things you can do to work around that limitation:

1. Use a development certificate. You'll have to create a new one in the developer.apple.com portal, download it to your machine, export it to a .p12 file using keychain, then finally provide it to Mobile Center. You know the drill.

2. Disable automatic signing. You will find that setting in Xcode in your project targets. Once disabled, a little "i" button will be displayed next to the "Xcode managed profile" label. Click that button, some info about the profile will be displayed. On the top left corner of that window, a "PROV" icon is displayed. That is the provisioning profile that you should provide to Mobile Center. Drag and drop the icon into the corresponding field in Mobile Center.

This is what I would call a classically Apple Xcode UX design bug.

The error said there is a bunch of stuff YOU DID WRONG LOCALLY.

The error actually meant "we have a new agreement you did not accept online".

After checking and unchecking the Automatic Signing button I got this agreement error to display:

Signing into the developer portal I was able to see a banner for the agreement update notice:

. Restarting Xcode 8 then cleared that error and only forced me to reselect the certificate I already had on my machine and tied to the project.

This could have been handled in a less confusing implementation, but this is how I fixed it. I am putting it here because it's way different than the steps everyone else gave.

Oh and yeah, having the pre-latest iOS 10 device and latest Xcode (I was on 7.3.1 or something) also threw errors until I updated.

Answer 3

Just download your provisioning profile again from your developer account. And sign out all developer accounts from Xcode → Preferences → Accounts → *Select Account showing at left and press -(subtract sign)

After deleting all accounts, press the + sign (add) button and sign in with all developer accounts.

It will work like a charm...

Answer 4

in Build Setting change in Signing

Clean and Archive your code , Hope it will help you .

Answer 5

I hate to say it. I just quit Xcode and opened it again. Simple and effective :)

Answer 6

The Untick-tick (check-uncheck) "Automatically manage signing".) of Xcode checkboxes don't work for me (as many suggested on the top).

It happens with frameworks linked in your project.

Solution:

• Find your framework or any other target that required signing.
• Go to Build settings
• Search Signing Identity
• Set Don't code sign manually.
