Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer: Person's Name (XXXXXXXX)' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain
In organizer, I click on Provision Profiles and the provision profile I downloaded. Underneath I get the warning:
A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain
I've looked up many, many other people that had this problem, but all seem to resolve it by deleting the cert and provision
i also tried this but same problem once
i have one profile without postfix bundle id without error
Any help most well come..........
Just check that your certificate is valid or invalid from Keychain Access
Here this type of Error occur if certificate expired.
And also set valid certificate which you want to use in Build Setting - > Code Signing Identifire of Project's Target and also Project
And at last set Identifire in Targets -> Summary -> Builde Identifile for Example com.IdentifireCertiFicateName.yourProject
i hope this help you....
your certificate process at the first time you create CSR file. from that you work on the developer provisioning profile and distribution profile. if you change the system you have to export the certficate and privatekey from keychain access -> my Certificate expand and export your certificate and privatekey file in .p12 format. install those file in your current system. after that set codesing in project and target file.

I'm attempting to sign an application on macOS Sierra, but my Developer ID certificate(s) cannot be found. Can anyone clarify what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!
Here's my flow:
I downloaded an "Application" and "Installer" Developer ID certificate from Apple
I installed both to my System keychain, they show "This certificate is valid"
I open Terminal and change directories to my application folder
I try codesign --deep --force --verbose --sign "<identity>" "<appName>" but I get the following "error: The specified item could not be found in the keychain"
Some things I've tried:
a. Using custom settings for the certificates by setting Code Signing to "Always Trust"
b. Using the certificate's entire Common Name for the identity instead of the value inside the parentheses
c. Running security find-identity -p codesigning, I get the following "Policy: Code Signing Matching identities 0 identities found Valid identities only 0 valid identities found"
d. Deleting the certificates and reinstalling them to the login keychain
You didn't mention the private key you used to generate the cert in the first place.
I purchased a new Mac Mini build machine to replace an old one. The old one had the signing certs. Just importing the signing certs downloaded from Apple didn't work, I also needed the original private key from which the certificate request was formed. So I followed https://stackoverflow.com/a/34063997/28190 to export a new keychain from the old machine, imported to a new one, and then I was able to use that.
You need to customise your `unlock-keychain' calls to point to the imported keychain.
Actually i developed an app using my own developer certificates and provisioning profile.
Now i need to publish it on my client developer account and my client sent his distribution certificate along with provisioning .And I have installed the certificate and then i drag the provisioning profile to xcode, and i have got error message like "Valid signing identity not found"
Please assits me.
Change code sign in project settings.
You need the private keys that were used to sign the certificate. If you don't have them
anymore you can generate a new signing request.
You need p12 file from your client to use its developer certificate and provisioning profile.When your client provide you that p12 file than double click that file and its run perfectly.
And for geting p12 file ,select the cert, and open the arrow to also select the private key and export them together as a .p12 file from Keychain Access.
There are several ways to solve this issue.
The first one is, to export your developer certificate including the associated key from your keychain and importing it on your client machine.
The other way would be (If your client machine would use another apple dev account) to go through those steps listed here Apple Certification & Provisioning
I would recommend to delete the old certificates from xcode, sometimes xcode might lag otherwise
i have downloaded my certificate from developer portal and my provisioning file. i have added certificate into keychain access by clicking on it and added provisioning file into project. in my project i ve changed bundle identifier but when i want to debug over device it gives error;
"Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain"
when i look at the "code signing identity" in property of the project i do not see my certificate. there is only "iphone developer" (i think it is the default value and it does not work)
thanks.
Your keychain doesn't have the private key of the certificate that you are trying to use. It would be on the Mac where the CSR(Certificate Signing Request) was generated . If it was generated on a different system, you need to export it in .p12 format, before you can use it on your Mac.
"Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain" means in your keychain developer was not found . so first get certificate double click on it before that delete all key chain with same name ..after double tapping certificate keychain opens ..then use the same profile for that particular keychain and compile it
and also check this
Update target info properties(identifier field) and code sign identities in build fields .clean all targets and build
Pls install the .p12 file before installing provisioning profile..
I am trying transfer my developer certificate under the keychain to someone. I exported the item. And also send him the provisioning profile which includes his device ID.
He installed my certificate to his keychain and also the provisioning profile to his xcode.
However, The provisioning profile under his xcode complains of there's no Valid signing Identity. Well I already sent him the certificate.
What's wrong?
You have to export the matching private key with the Developer Certificate, you can select both the private key and Certificate and export at the same time.
Does he have multiple certificates with the same name in his keychain? In which case he may have to delete the one that is not applicable for this profile when he is trying to build the app (he can reinstall the deleted certificate later). Also, ask him to delete and reinstall the profile. Is there any more information he is getting with the error?
Along with the development & distribution certificates that you provided, you also need to export your private key as a *.p12 file. When he is importing this elements into the Keychain application ensure he selects the "login" keychain.
I am trying to create an ad hoc distribution of my App to send to a colleague.
I am getting the following error when trying to Archive my project for distribution:
Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone
Developer' doesn't match any valid
certificate/private key pair in the
default keychain
These are the steps which I have followed:
I have registered the device in the provisioning portal.
I have generated a certificate signing request in keychain.
Using this I have created a DISTRIBUTION certificate in the portal and dragged in keychain and I can see the key under the name.
I have then created a DISTRIBUTION profile in the portal and downloaded it and dragged it into Xcode organiser. It appears to be valid in Organiser as there are no warnings.
Now in the project properties I have choosen this profile in the code signing identity.
Now when I run i get this above error.
It appears as if the profile has not been selected. Still "iPhone developer" is selected. Sometimes when I change it in my project properties, it doesn't automatically get reflected in target properties, so double click on your target and set the profile there.
Some more steps you may have not done:
I hope you are doing this all for "Distribution" configuration
You have set your identifier in bundle of target properties as the identifier that you have given in profile, i.e. something like 'com.domainname.appname".
When I had this problem. I had followed these steps below.
Step 1:Open Certificate.p12 file on your machine (of course through key chain access) and install again by double click.
Step 2: It is now imported into your Key Chain.
Step 3: Go to your project and set Code Signing Identity properly with your developer profile.
You'll get resolved this problem.
