No matching code signing identity found - Xcode error

Hello,
I am new to Mac and Xcode. I just want to learn Xcode and not publish any apps. Hence I did not enroll in the paid developer program.
Whenever I try to create a project in Xcode, it gives me this error - "No matching code signing identity found". If I click on "Fix Issue", it asks me to add my apple ID. I did that but I cannot add it to any team. I also tried requesting a certificate through keychain. But I am not sure on how to check the status of that.
Please pardon my lack of knowledge on this as I just a beginner. But any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Best of luck.

How can I correct this error: no matching code signing identity found

I signed up as an apple developer so I could download the tools to learn to build apps. I just installed Xcode 5.1.1, when i opened the program and created my first test project I got an error message: "no matching code signing identity found". how can i get rid of (correct) this error? I am just learning and I am not ready to join the $99 developer program yet.

Try setting Signing to None in the Target General pane.

CodeSign error: no certificate found in keychain for code signing identity

I've been wrestling with this for a week. Can someone help. I have followed the instructions closely to get my iphone app ready for distribution, but I cannot compile my app due to the following error:
CodeSign error: no certificate found in keychain for code signing identity 'iPhone Distribution: iPhone Developer (my name)
However, it definitely is there. In my Keychain I see the proper certificate. Furthermore, in the build file my Code Signing Identity -> Any iPhone OS Device is set to iPhone Distribution: (my name) but under "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" there are no valid choices. The distribution certificate is grayed out.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

For the build error, "codesign error: code signing identity 'iphone developer' does not match any code-signing certificate in your keychain":
1) Open Keychain Access application.
2) Select the "Systems" tab under the Keychains sidebar and "certificates" under the Categories sidebar.
3) You should see the "com.apple.kerberos.kdc" and/or "com.apple.systemdefault" certificates with a red x in the icon.
4) Double click them and under the "trust" node change the "When using this certificate: " tab to Always Trust. You may need to restart Xcode for this to work.

Xcode Problem 'No signing identity found' how to fix?

Hi, I am in no way a developer, I just use XCode to compile some applications I use where the latest releases are only available as source code.
Until now I have not had any issue compiling these applications.
However, just recently when trying to compile Boxer from http://www.boxerapp.com/ I am presented with an error that states:
No signing identity found
I do not wish to codesign someone elses' application with my own nonexistent signing identity. Can this pointless function be bypassed so I can build the app sucessfully?

Have you looked in the build settings to see if Don;t Code Sign is selected?

Valid code signing identity not found

hi guys,
I have my mac working perfectly with my device using my dev cert (for development purposes not the distribution) and provisioning profile. I can install my apps. But if i'm using another mac, it can't find the valid code signing identity, when I'm installing the same cert and provisioning profile. What should I do to make it install in different machines? is that possible? Please help and tell me what to do. Thank you.

No code siging identity found

I am building a project which targets iphone/ipad using xcode 5 . When i build this project, it says
No matching signing identity found No signing identities (i.e. certificate and private key pair) matching the value specified in your build settings, "Mac Developer:", were found. Xcode can update your build settings to their recommended values.
When i click fix issue button it says The selected team doesn't have a Mac Developer Program membership Select a team with a Mac Developer Program membership and try again. I only an iOS developer program membership through my university, no mac membership.

How can i fix this issue?
Any help would be much appreciated.

TCCD: Unable to verify code signing identity. What does is it mean?

Hi,
I can't recall if I encountered these issue earlier but today when I opened console I noticed these messages popping up while launching iWork apps simultaneously. It's the old problems that plugged me even before I did clean reinstall of my OS: when launching these apps I don't see windows opened or see only some of them. Just dock indicators. I have to hit the icons again to invoke the windows.
Here's the full entry:
tccd: unable to verify code signing identity of com.apple.iWork.pages
tccd: unable to verify code signing identity of com.apple.iWork.numbers
tccd: unable to verify the code signing identity of com.apple.iWork.keynote
Any ideas what is it all about?
Also, this issue often accompanied by the following entries:
com.apple.IconServicesAgent[226]: main Failed to composit image for binding VariantBinding [0x803] flags: 0x8 binding: FileInfoBinding [0x703] - extension: numbers, UTI: com.apple.iwork.numbers.numbers, fileType: ????.

No signing identity found

Howdy,
I found an Adventure project for the Mac, and wanted to mess around with it. However, when I try to run or build it, I get a message that gives me the above identity error and the option to fix it. this in turn gives me a message window saying ". . . you need to add an Apple ID account that is enrolled in a Developer Program."
Which evidently I no longer am. There was a time way back when on joined the Developer Program for free, but now in looking around at the website, it looks like it has become rather expensive (99 bucks a year!!) and in particular for a person who just wants to play around and try to learn things; not develop for fame or fortune. Does Apple have some sort of generic, for your computer only identity or would I have to join up, pay 99 bucks just to run this project code?
An Aside============>
Heck, right now, I am playing with fortran and want to get the original Adventure Source Code up and running - - just for fun. I am working my way through an old FortIV manual, again for fun and a really interesting history lesson, and I have a Fortran 90 / 95 Manual on the way to keep on going with my history lessons.
eventually, I'll get back to working through Objective-C and C++. I thought that it would be fun to see how this Mac project worked, but alas no joy.
I appreciate your insights!!
trav

Howdy,
I did have a Apple ID kind of registration, just no groups etc. However, I did notice that for signing identity, there was a NONE radio button that cleared things up after I clicked the button. I had to quit Xcode and restart it to get things to build correctly however. Thank you for sending me in the right direction!!

Code signing and Timestamp Server Error

Warning: I’ve got exactly 2 days experience with AIR
but a client wants to add file IO capabilites to a
touchscreen/Flash application we developed and AIR seems to be our
only choice.
From CS4 I can publish an AIR 1.5 application with a self
signed code certificate but I get the error “Could not
connect to timestamp server”, I can then disable the
timestamp and get the warning: “If the AIR application is not
timestamped, it will fail to install when the digital certificate
expires. Are you sure you want to disable timestamping?” I
can proceed without the timestamp and everything seems to work.
So I’m wondering, when does my certificate expire? I
think I might have read 5 years. What do my clients do if they have
to reinstall the application after 5 years? Make them pay for
another copy ;-) Lastly, how do I avoid the timestamp error? Sign
up with a CA like VeriSign at $500/yr, not gonna happen for just
one client.
Sorry to sound a little testy but I could have written
exactly the same application in Director and not had to worry about
this code signing business.

You need to have a network connection for timestamping to
work. If that network connection uses a proxy server, you may also
need to set up the JRE to use that proxy (See
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000020600.xml).
When the certificate expires, the AIR file can't be used
anymore if there is no timestamp.
A timestamp verifies that the certificate was valid when the
AIR file was signed, so the AIR app can be installed even after the
cert expires when a timestamp is present.
Timestamps do not require a Verisign, or any other commercial
certificate. The service is free.

Signing identity needed for Xcode?

I am thinking about getting trained in writing Swift apps and have been tinkering with xCode.
One trivial app ran OK. When I tried something ever-so-slightly more complex, I got an error message
"No signing identity found"
"Xcode can request a new iOS Development signing identity for you."
and clicking on "Fix problem" I ended up at a web page where I need to sign up for $99 to the Apple developer program.
Is this a pre-req for trying out xCode/Swift? I haven't yet decided if I want to proceed down this route, so would rather not pay until I have made up my mind.

You select the device or simulator at the top left of the Xcode window
You;ll need to select a simulator and recompile the code

"no identity found" error when code signing

Hello,
I am trying to codesign an iPad IPA file supplied to me be an external app development agency. To carry out the app signing, I first installed the distribution cert and private key (.p12 file) in to Keychain. I also installed the intermediate WWDRCA cert and the ios_development cert. I'm using the following command from the iOS terminal to sign my app:
codesign -f -s ituneskey.p12 AppName.ipa
and the error I get is :
ituneskey.p12: no identity found
My distributuon cert is valid, I have checked this in Keychain Util.
What am I doing wrong and how can I resolve this?

Hi K T,
I had previously gone through the two links you mentioned before posting to this forum, but to no avail. I have a couple of theories. One is that because the developer who wrote the app is not part of my companies "Team" in our iOS developer account, he used his own developer certificate to create the app. Now the problem is when we come to signing the app with our distribution certificate, which by the way now works (see below), when validating the archive during upload it fails.
The reason why codesign was not working as previously stated in my original post was because I was using the wrong identity? The command I used was:
codesign -f -s ituneskey.p12 AppName.ipa
However I should have been using the following:
codesign -f -s [Valid Identity Here] AppName.ipa
where [Valid Identity Here] is replaced with the identity used in our developer account and distribution certificate.
I've got that bit working, but now when I use Organiser to either Validate or Distribute the archive I get the following error:
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, contains disallowed entitlements, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate.
I then went on to read the following post:
http://oleb.net/blog/2011/06/code-signing-changes-in-xcode-4/
In this post I noted a section where it states :
Update: Colin Humber, developer at TestFlight, made me aware of a potential problem with this approach. Apparently, the App ID of the provisioning profile that is used for building the app is hardcoded into the binary during the build process. If you later resign the app with a provisioning profile that belongs to different App ID, the one in the binary will no longer match the provisioning profile’s App ID since the binary will not be recompiled. This can cause all sorts of problems with services that rely on the App ID, such as access to the keychain, Push Notifications, or In-App Purchasing.
This issue will not affect you as long as you use your default “wildcard” App ID (the one that looks like1234567890.*). But if you use a separate concrete App ID to publish your app on the App Store, you have to make sure to build your app with a provisioning profile that uses the same App ID. You should not use your default Team Provisioning Profile for release builds in that case. Thanks for the heads-up Colin!
And since we DO USE a unique AppID per app I think this is the reason why Validation is failing and I'm getting the above stated new error.
Is the solution therefore to add the developer to our developer Team and get him to use our AppID when building the app?

Code Signing Error in Xcode

I'm trying to develop programs for the iphone but I'm lost at the very start. I downloaded a sample from apple's site and opened it in xcode and worked great in the simulator however when I try to build it for my actual iPhone, it comes up with an error:
"CodeSign error: no provisioning profiles found for code signing identity 'iPhone Developer'
Any ideas?

XCode target not displaying Code Signing Provisioning Profile

Hello experts,
I am first time uploading my application on the apple store. I downloaded distribution provisioning profile and placed that into home/library/Mobile Device/Provisioning Profiles.
Opened xcode, created distributed configuration by duplicating release configuration.
changed CODE SIGNING IDENTITY to IPhone Distribution: My company name
next step is to set the CODE SIGNING PROVISIONING PROFILE but xcode not showing this option.
The four options that i can see are:
1) Code signing Entitlements
2) Code signing identity
3) Code signing resource rules path
4) Other code signing flags
NOT the "CODE SIGNING PROVISIONING PROFILE" parameter to set.
What i need to check for this.
I tried to upload my app without this setting but as i expected got the error:
"The binary you uploaded is not valid or it was not signed by Apple Submission Certificate."
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.

thanks for replying
i checked all the above mentioned steps.
-> My Distibution Profile is present in Mobile Devices/Provisioning Profiles.
-> Active SDK is Device
-> Active Configuration is Distribution
-> Bundle Identifier name is a simple five letter word without white spaces and special characters.
The only thing my application is not having is the "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" option to set in the top-level getinfo window->build.
here i am giving the link of my build settings for Distribution Configuration:

please let me know what needs to be done.
Thanks

Missing "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" in Xcode build options

I am missing the field "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" in the Project Info Build Settings of Xcode. The "Code Signing Identity" setting is there. Xcode version is 3.1, the version of the iPhone SDK I don't know how to find out.
In the Organizer everything is as it should be: my iPhone with the Provisioning-Certificate from the Developer Portal, though I had problems restoring the iPhone with the Organizer so it is still in the state from the iTunes update.
When I build my app and want to run it on the device, the status bar says "Failed to upload asdf.app". My guess is that these to things must somehow be related. This is the output of the console on the Mac:
Xcode: ApplicationVerificationFailed
Xcode: MobileDevice: perform_command: There was an error communicating with the service agent: -402653183
Xcode: MobileDevice: AMDeviceInstallApplication: Could not install package on device: kAMDUndefinedError

I had this problem when upgrading to SDK 2.2 as well. For me, the problem seemed to be that I had multiple profiles with the same name but different creation dates. For example, I had two profiles name "Ad Hoc" but one was created sometime in October and one was created just last week.
I fixed the problem by opening up the Xcode organizer window. In 2.2, there's a new side bar that displays the provisioning profiles currently installed on your system. If you are like me, you might have some old profiles with the same name. All I had to do was delete the old profiles and then rebuild in Xcode. If you don't have provisioning profiles with identical names, it probably won't hurt to delete all of the profiles from the organizer and then reinstall them by dragging them back into the organizer.
Hope this helps!
