Code Sign error: Provisioning profile can't be found

Check what is Info.plist Bundle Identifier, go to Apple iOS provision portal and download related App ID provision file and install. Note that if you're not Team Admin, you have to ask someone else to download the file for you.

Actual error code shows also cryptic mobileprovision id, but that won't help you much:

Code Sign error: Provisioning profile '123456F8-1234-1234-ABCD-ABCDEFGH1234' can't be found

Team Provisioning Profile - Invalid. Renew button disabled

Team Provisioning Profile - Invalid. Renew button disabled.

Open Xcode Organizer, find Team profile and press Renew button. Automatically downloads Team Provisioning Profile, but only for apps with * App ID.

Everything That Can Go Wrong With Xcode Build and Release

Right now I'm in the middle of serious mess up of my Xcode development environment, can't create ad hoc builds. No idea what triggered it, thus no idea what or how to fix. Since same error notes keep popping up time after time, I start documenting each. Maybe I'll slowly gather enough info to fix something.

Xcode error notes:

• The executable was signed with invalid entitlements (Xcode)
• The executable was signed with invalid entitlements (install) OPEN
• Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1
• Build & Archive - Share Application - nothing happens
• Build & Archive - Share Application - unable to find user OPEN
  
• Build & Archive - Share Application - Email - missing plugin OPEN
  
• Team Provisioning Profile - Invalid. Renew button disabled.
• Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any identity in any profile
• Code Sign error: Provisioning profile can't be found

Have patience, try again, just keep bumbing your head into wall, no pain no gain, good luck, it works for me, wave the rubber chicken above monitor... yep, I know: none of it helps.

You have sympathy. It won't help either.

The executable was signed with invalid entitlements

Try to create ad hoc release in Xcode, got error note:

The executable was signed with invalid entitlements.

The entitlements specified in your application's Code Signing Entitlements file do not matchc those specified in your provisioning profile (0xE8008016). [OK]

Case 1: Go to Provisioning Portal - Provisioning - Distribution, find your project Distribution Provisioning Profile, Edit - Modify (do whatever and revert if everything already is right) - Submit - Download and double-click the file at your dev machine. Clean and rebuild.

Case 2: make sure you have Entitlements.plist file in your project, containing just one prorerty called get-task-allow". This has to be off. Add name of this file into your project ad hoc release Code Signing Entitlements.

How to Solve Ad Hoc release "value not permitted by a provisioning profile"

Ever since I submitted an application to App Store I've had lots of problems creating Ad Hoc release. Though first fix was simple, it's not a complete solution.

Error messages are:

Thu Jul 22 11:46:34 jouni-iDevice installd[643] : entitlement 'keychain-access-groups' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile

Thu Jul 22 11:46:34 jouni-iDevice installd[643] : entitlement 'application-identifier' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile
...
Thu Jul 22 11:47:06 jouni-iDevice SpringBoard[28] : Application 'Zattr' exited abnormally with signal 11: Segmentation fault

This time the solution was found in TUAW article "devsugar: A better way to share ad-hoc builds".

Summary: instead of normal Build use Build and Archive, find your application, find the last date, press Share Application button and - The Critical Phase - verify your identity is your Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile. Save locally and install e.g. via iPhone Configuration Utility.

...suspect Ad Hoc release problem is caused by having two different provisioning profile files using same application id. I generate three applications (development, release test, public) from same sources with some compile time flags and different provisioning profiles and app ids. Guess code signing identities got mixed.

Entitlement 'keychain-access-groups' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile

You build and install application you are developing and fail with a flash without any obvious error note. Using iPhone Configuration Utility you're device's Console contain something like this:

Fri Jul 2 10:26:23 jouni-iDevice installd[6313] : entitlement 'keychain-access-groups' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile
Fri Jul 2 10:26:23 jouni-iDevice installd[6313] : entitlement 'application-identifier' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile

The reason is that you have previously installed your application from App Store and overwriting app binary with a developer version is not enough.

Quick fix is to delete the application from device, then build and install again.

SpringBoard failed to launch application with error code: 7

Set up a system where same sources can produce two different applications, one for release and another for testing. The requirement was they have to be able to exist at the same time in device.

Added a second ad hoc distribution provisioning profile with new bundle identifier. Somehow simulator failed to run the application(s) any more.

Close simulator, go to Xcode menu and select "Empty caches..." menu item. Might as well "Clean All Targets" just in case.
