Provisioning profile doesn't include signing certificate

I see in your SO thread you set from auto signing to manual - in some cases, temporarily toggling auto on/off/on helps to clear things up.

Restart Xcode, confirm your contracts are all current...I think a new one in iTC just dropped, so be sure to pay it attention.

Your SO technique worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49643253/provisioning-profile-doesnt-include-signing-certificate-xcode-9-3

Manual drag and drop .cer file to keychain => login list did help me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5401088/key-chain-warning-the-system-roots-keychain-cannot-be-modified

I ran into this on Xcode 13 building and exporting a Mac app as Developer ID. At first I had the issue "You haven't been given access to cloud-managed distribution certificates" and that led to a Stack Overflow question that said I had to get my Team Agent to give me access to cloud-managed Developer ID certificates in App Store Connect. I did that and then got this error - the provisioning profile that Xcode generated for the app during export didn't include my Developer ID certificate in my keychain.

What eventually fixed it was deleting the Developer ID certificate out of my keychain. Then Xcode used the cloud-managed certificate that was in the provisioning profile that it generated.

I would advise exporting the Developer ID certificate before trying this, though, in case you need it back for some reason.

I fixed the problem by:

After that, it magically started working again.

Xcode/Preferences/ManageCertificates/+/“add one by one, total 5”

With Apple you are going to need magic to get things working... I am resorting to the rain dance to try get XCode to recognice my provisioning profile does indeed include the necessary signing certificate.

Is this a Mac app that you’re trying to export with Developer ID signing?

I am having the same issue. With an annoying loop of Team requirement not being fulfilled.

It occurs in a loop where i’ll manage to get the signing certificate working, but the team requirement doesn’t. Get the team fulfilled, then the signing certificate is not with the provisioning profile….

This is ongoing and i cannot solve it. I cannot build my app because of this. I am giving up. They took my money and i’m offered broken tools. nice…….

I had the same issue - "provisioning profile does not contain the signing certificate" - and the above info led to the solution: I was busy exporting the existing certificates to .p12 when I noticed one had expired. Deleting that one from the key chain did the trick - the app then validated correctly with auto signing, finding the right certificates on its own.

1 more way to try for those manual sign, in my case , I strictly aim for "Distribution" only, so what you can try here:

1. open your ../your-prj.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj using VSCODE (or any text/code editor).
2. manually search for following and forcefully change all of them to what you want , there will be multiple group of following (in my case , Debug-free and Release-free group)

however most likely all you need to care about is Release only, if you are trying to archive or *.ipa

search following and change them

				CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = "Apple Distribution";
				"CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*]" = "Apple Distribution";
...
...

				PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER = dist-askt;
				"PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER[sdk=iphoneos*]" = dist-askt;

dist-askt is the profile name I've created in developer.apple.com,

1. go back to XCODE, simply click around here and there to refresh ,

• OR choose (read from DISK) if any warning prompted you the project have updated outside of XCODE
• OR simply kill restart XCODE

years down the road still this is always a pain when you to a new machine or are given a project to work on ... patience and trial&error I have different clients and go thru this often and the same old song ... not clear solution other than trial and error Look at the keychain and delete entries that looks funny is one shot
