Xcode 12.5 "code signature version is no longer supported"

After upgrading to Xcode 12.5 and iOS 14.5, I can no longer debug my app on my local physical device.

I get the below error.

I searched and cannot find any answers.

How do I fixed this?

i trying to solve this problem over the month but was and am failing.

Given that, my advice is that you open a DTS tech support incident so that DTS’s iOS code signing specialist can help you one-on-one.

Share and Enjoy

I had the same issue. We have a static library that we sign&embed. This library has some dependencies on some CocoaPods.

I was able to solve this issue by rearranging Build phases in my Apps Targets Build Phase settings.

Correct order was as follows:

  • Compile
  • Copy Bundle Resources
  • Copy Pods Resources
  • Embed Pods Frameworks
  • Link Binary With Libraries
  • Copy our Static Framework (embed & sign)

Hope it will help anyone...

Go to Target settings and add flag --generate-entitlement-der to OTHER_CODE_SIGN_FLAGS

Apple has changed the codesign signature to include DER encoded entitlements in addition to the plist encoded entitlements. This additional DER encoded entitlements section is required in iOS 15 and becomes the default behavior of codesign in the latest Xcode. To use codesign on an older machines with an older version of Xcode add the --generate-entitlement-der flag to your call to codesign. If signing through Xcode, you can add this flag to the OTHER_CODE_SIGN_FLAGS setting in the Build Settings tab.

  • You will need to add the --generate-entitlement-der to your OTHER_CODE_SIGN_FLAGS under Build Settings.

If you are getting this error.. it is a bug! There is no solution to this other than rebuilding your project and removing all package dependencies which are not absolutely necessary! Do not waste your time and energy trying to solve this... it's an issue with one of your package dependencies and is out of your control. Good luck!

Found a workaround and described it in this thread.

TL;DR Adding the following options to the codesign command will result in a v=20500:

-o runtime --runtime-version "16.4.0"

So the solution would be adding those options to the OTHER_CODE_SIGN_FLAGS in the Build Settings of your app target, e.g.:

-o runtime --runtime-version $DEPLOYMENT_TARGET

After this the app successfully installs on a device.
