Xcode 6 beta 2 issue exporting .ipa: “Your account

Question

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?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

I also faced the same problem, i was using development certificate instead of Adhoc. Issue is fixed after using Adhoc certificate.

Answer 3

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 :)

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.

Answer 5

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.

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.)
