Xcode Code Signing Issues – Team Name Mismatch, Certificate & Provisioning Profile Errors

Thanks for your post

Thanks for reaching out. I understand how frustrating code signing and provisioning issues can be. Let's work through these problems step by step:

Team Name Mismatch and Incorrect Certificate Association: The display of only the team name without the ID in Xcode might be a minor display issue, but it shouldn't directly impact code signing. However, the certificate association problem is more critical. Here's what you can try:

• Log out of your Apple Developer account on both your Mac and the Xcode.
• Log back in and ensure that your personal Apple ID is selected in the Xcode preferences > Accounts > Apple Developer.
• Go to the Apple Developer Portal, select your team and then go to "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles."
• Revoke the certificate associated with your Mac name once more.
• Now, create a new certificate request, but this time, make sure to select your personal Apple ID as the "Organization Name" when prompted.
• Download the new certificate and install it on your Mac using the Keychain Access app.

Provisioning Profile Errors: The errors you're encountering seem to be related to the provisioning profile. Here's what you can do next:

• In Xcode, go to Window > Organizer > Provisioning Profiles.
• Select your team and then click the '+' button at the bottom left corner.
• Choose "Download Managed Profiles" and wait for Xcode to fetch the available profiles.
• Look for a profile that matches your bundle ID and select it.
• Make sure the profile has the correct signing certificate (the one you just created and associated with your Apple ID) and that the "Team" .
• If you can't find the correct profile, you might need to create a new one. Go to the Apple Developer Portal, select your team, and then go to "Provisioning Profiles." Click the '+' button to create a new profile, and provide the necessary details (bundle ID, team ID, etc.).

Simulator Issues: Once you've resolved the code signing and provisioning profile issues, you should be able to run your app on the simulator without any problems.

Additional Tips:

• Always make sure that your Xcode and macOS are up to date.
• Double-check that your bundle ID is correctly defined in your Xcode project settings.
• If you're still having trouble, consider creating a new Xcode project and transferring your code over to it. This can help isolate any potential issues with your current project settings.

Let me know if you've tried these steps and if you're still having problems. I'll be happy to provide further assistance.

Subject: Still Facing Code Signing & Provisioning Profile Issues

Hi Albert,

Thank you for your detailed response. I’ve followed all the steps you provided, including:

Logging out and back into my Apple Developer account on both my Mac and Xcode. Revoking and re-creating the certificate, ensuring I selected my personal Apple ID. Installing the new certificate via Keychain Access. Downloading and selecting the correct provisioning profile in Xcode. Double-checking my bundle ID and team association. Despite these efforts, I am still experiencing the same code signing and provisioning errors. Xcode continues to throw issues related to certificate mismatches and provisioning profiles. The app fails to run on a real device, and even in the simulator, I get signing-related warnings.

Would you be able to help me troubleshoot further? Are there any additional logs or settings I should check to diagnose this issue more precisely?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Best, Faycel
