Hi there,

When I deploy my app to the iPhone for testing, I get the following error:

Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.4gpZFc/extracted/c_mll.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the

executable is no longer valid.)

My account was mistakenly deactivated by Apple last month. After appealing, Apple restored it at the end of last month. Currently, my Apple Developer account seems to be working fine.

Today, I recreated the developer certificate and identifier, added the account in XCode, everything seemed fine, and I clicked the XCode button (Start the active scheme). The build was successful, but I got the error:

Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.4gpZFc/extracted/c_mll.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid.)

Both my certificate and identifier were created just a few hours ago and show no issues.

Before my account was deactivated, everything was working fine.

I used a regular non-Apple developer account in XCode and performed the same steps, and it worked fine.

I looked at relevant posts on the forum and tried the suggestions, but none of them solved my problem.

Subject: Urgent Follow-Up on Unresolved Code Signing Issue (Case ID: 13121470)

Dear Apple Developer Support Team,

I am writing to formally express my concern and frustration regarding an unresolved issue that has been severely impacting my development work.

Since April 10th, I have been encountering the following error when trying to install my app “Find Molly” using Xcode 16C5032a:

Error 0xe8008018: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.vNomEg/extracted/c_mll.app : 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid.)

To resolve this, I submitted a bug report via Apple’s Feedback Assistant (FB17192041 and FB17182244) and followed up with a Code-Level Support request on April 13th (Case ID: 13121470). As instructed, I promptly provided all requested diagnostic and supplementary information through both Developer Support and Feedback Assistant.

However, as of today, over a month later, the issue remains unresolved. More concerningly, I have sent two follow-up emails in the past week, and received no response.

This delay and lack of communication have caused significant disruption to my development timeline. I respectfully request: 1. A status update on the resolution of Case ID: 13121470, 2. Confirmation that my submitted information has been reviewed, 3. An estimated timeframe for resolution or next steps.

I appreciate your urgent attention to this matter and look forward to a timely response.

Best regards, Tony
