I'm getting the following error when trying to submit my app to the app store. I went through the initial provisioning process and am able to run the app on my phone so not sure what's wrong.
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate.
EDIT: I tried downloading and installing a Distribution profile, but I'm still getting the error. Is there some way I need to link this new profile to my app in XCode? Thanks!
EDIT 2: I've now gotten a distribution provisioning profile from Apple and tried compiling with this. Getting the error "A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found."
Verify the following:
When creating the distibution profile, make sure that Distribution Method is "App Store".
In project settings, go to Build tab and make sure Code Signing Identity is the distribution profile you created for the App Store
In Target settings (double-click on Target in your project), go to Build tab and make sure Code Signing Identity is the distribution profile you created for the App Store
It's recommended that you have a configuration in your project settings for AdHoc and App Store builds. I've found it makes life easier when it comes time to deploy.
For the Xcode build warning or Archive Validation error "Application failed codesign verification", see Apple's complete list of potential causes for this problem at "How do I resolve the error: Application failed codesign verification?".
For the error "A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found", typically this error occurs while attempting to run your app on device thru Xcode yet you mentioned that you're uploading the app to the store? Ensure that you're following the recommended steps for uploading your iOS app to the store using
"Steps to submit your app to the App Store".
For others receiving the error "A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found" check that you're following Apple's recommended steps for running on device thru Xcode at "Steps to run your app on device thru Xcode".
You can either double click a .mobileprovision file, or manually copy it to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles. Then it will show up inside the provisioning popup in your Target settings.
Set the provisioning profile for both Project and Active Target.
Click Project -> Edit Project Settings change the code signing entity
Click Project ->Edit Active Target and change the same code signing entity here as well.
You should be good to go.!
Are you sure you provisioning profile is a distribution profile for app store and not a development/ad-hoc one??
This error can also be caused if you incorrectly configured your application's "entitlements". A good place to check is for a warning in Xcode's Log Navigator (last page in left tab) and ensure that there is a green tick next to both the CodeSign and Validate steps in the build log when you Archive your project.
I had the same issue and this is what I did to get it to work:
It turned out my Entitlements file was misformed.
Through much trial and error I have figured out the issue. For others' sanity, here is the proper configuration:
application-identifier $(AppIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)
com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers
Item 0 $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)
This got it to validate successfully. I couldn't find this documented anywhere so hopefully it helps someone else.
Here is one solution not listed that turned out to be my problem (and took me 3 days to find!). Set your Archive Build Configuration to Release. You can do this by going into PRODUCT -> EDIT SCHEME -> ARCHIVE -> BUILD CONFIGURATION -> SET TO RELEASE.
Good Luck!
I'm facing the same issue having iCloud KVStore as Capability active:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers</key>
<array/>
<key>com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier</key>
<string>$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Xcode fails to sign to binary when I try to change the 'com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier identifier to the main app KVStore Identifier as described in
Configuring Common Key-Value Storage for Multiple Apps

I have updated and rebuilt my app with a new provision profile that was configured with "Enable for iCloud" checkbox selected in the provision portal.
Next, in XCode, for the app project, I selected the box for "Entitlements" in Targets->Summary->Entitlements as shown below to support iCloud. However, as soon as I add this, I am unable to build the application as I get the dreaded
warning: Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate. (-19011)
The app builds successfully with NO codesign errors and installs onto hardware with the proper provisioning profile when the "Enable Entitlements" is unchecked. As soon as I check it, it gets the codesign error.
I also tried updating the entitlements file with ABCDEF.com.myapp (with my real iCloud ID and app id) for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers value.
What am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Btw, I wrote a blog post with a solution which could be helpful.
You may try to copy and paste the <dict> of key entitlements from your provisioning profile to your.entitlements (a plist) file.
iCloud Gotchas
Finally, I found the solution. It ended up being a Apple Provisioning Portal issue.
Even though I followed these steps:
1. Selected "Enable for iCloud" for the App ID
2. Created(regenerated) a new provision profile that was configured for the respective "Enable for iCloud" app
3. In XCode, for the app project, I selected the box for "Entitlements" in Targets->Summary->Entitlements as shown below to support iCloud.
The build error still persisted. So, I looked at the Prov Prof with an editor and the entitlements were NOT in there even though I just generated a new one.
What I found was after about 1 week, surprise!, if I generated the Prov. Profile now it had the entitlements in it! So, there was a delay before the generation of the PP's would pick up the iCloud entitlements. Also I filed this issue with Apple so they are aware of this strange delay.
When I upload my app to the App store I am facing the issue below:
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid,
or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate
I did all of the changes below:
cleaning project,
cleaning all,
deleting build directory,
deleting certificates + profiles
and reinstall distribution provisional profile and distribuction certificate
but still I am facing the same problem. What am I missing?
First, check that your certificate is correct/valid. To do this, log in to the iOS Provisioning Portal with your Apple developer account and create a new distribution certificate. Make sure that you specify that you want to store you app on the iOS App Store. Create a certificate for the App Store by clicking the App Store radio button - don't choose "Ad Hoc". After that, download and install the newly created provisioning certificate.
Check that you've done the following:
Set your code-signing identity in the XCode project to use the new provisioning certificate.
Used the certificate for Distribution profile, not just Developer.
Used the "Clean all targets" function in XCode.
Deleted any build folders from your application's directory tree in the Finder.
After that, build and run your application.
For a fuller explanation, see Apple's documentation about this.
For the iOS error "Application failed codesign verification", see Apple's complete list of potential causes at the following URL "How do I resolve the error: Application failed codesign verification?"
I had the same issue and tried all the solutions listed and then some. But it turned out that it was something so simple, I could kick myself! Set your Archive Build Configuration to Release. You can do this by going into PRODUCT -> EDIT SCHEME -> ARCHIVE -> BUILD CONFIGURATION -> SET TO RELEASE.
Good Luck!
Xcode gives me this warning when I build the app for release.
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate. (-19011)
Do I need to delete all entries from my keychain and redo getting a certificate, provisioning profile, etc?
I can build and debug on the iPhone and iPad without a problem.
If you know how I can solve this dilemma, please provide exact steps or a way for me to contact you about this.
Thanks

Here's the checklist I go through when I've hit this:
Clean all targets, exit Xcode, then go drag the build folder from your project to the trash.
Do the Get Info on your project, make sure the Code Signing Entitlements and Code Signing Identity are selected correctly. Do the same for your Targets.
Login to the iOS Provisioning Portal and make sure the Distribution certificate has not expired. Also check the Distribution Provisioning Profile and make sure it is Active. Make sure the Certificate is properly in your Keychain and the Distribution profile is in Xcode Organizer (if you have multiple of the same one, delete all but the correct one and redo step #2).
Look at your Build Results on the failure and identify which profile it is actually using and make sure it is the right one.
You probably need to check what code signing profile is selected in your distribution build properties.
It looks like your target is "Development" but Xcode applied some of distribution settings to it, so the warning simply means your ad-hoc build has no valid AppStore submission certificate. Go to your target settings, choose the Release configuration and uncheck "Validate Built Product" option.

i am got the Same Warning Message...
I just Changed to iOs Deployment target 4.3 to 3.2.2 its works perfectly .....
Note: you may have to go to XCode's "Project" and select "Edit Active Target (appname)",
which is near the bottom of the list ... in the new pane that opens, select "Build", then
under "Code Signing Identity" select your distribution provision. Note that this seems
to be editing a different thing than "Project" / "Edit Project" (editing "target" instead
of "project"). I found I had to edit both project and target's code signing identities.
I had exactly the same problem. It was due to installing Xcode 4.0.2 and 4.2 preview 3 at the same time. Removed both (through the provided uninstall scripts):
<Xcodedir>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
Then rebooted and installed 4.0.2 and it works :/
I have found the codesign process a headache - I always shudder when I get am ready to use Ad Hoc distribution to beta test. After the usual round of errors and failed fix attempts I ignored the "application failed codesign" error and sent the build to a beta tester. It worked without issue.
Very frustrating.
In the build log provided in the -UPDATE- section of the original post the root cause of the failed signature verification is expressed with the text:
"test-requirement: code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s)". That particular flavor of failed signature verification is almost always caused by mistakenly signing your app with an iPhone Developer profile instead of an iPhone Distribution profile.
It can be confirmed with the steps in "How do I verify the certificate that was used to sign my app?". If the certificate "Identity" is "iPhone Developer: YOUR_NAME" instead of "iPhone Distribution: ..." that is the reason for the "Application failed codesign verification" error, and you can resolve it by performing the following steps:
1a). if you have not yet created an App Store Distribution Provisioning Profile yet, that is done on the "Distribution" tab of the "Provisioning" Section of the iOS Portal site.
Note, the "Distribution" tab is only available to Team Members whose role is either "Agent" (the one who signed up for the iOS Developer Program), or "Admin" (those that the Agent grant access to app-distribution capabilities).
1b). if you're fairly certain you have an App Store Distribution Provisioning Profile installed in your Xcode profile library, you can verify it is an App Store profile as well as the App ID associated to it by using the steps in section How do I confirm my Provisioning Profile is for App Store distribution?
2). verify that your Scheme 'Archive' task is mapped to "Release" using the steps in section:
"Creating an Application Archive"
3). check that you have an your App Store provisioning profile assigned to your "Release" Code Signing Identity using the steps in section
"Assigning Provisioning Profiles to Build Configurations".
Note: it's important to make these changes at the Target level Build Settings, versus the Project level ones, as Target settings override Project ones...you can think of the Project level build settings as 'defaults' to populate target settings (and any future targets) with. Also, Ensure the "All" button is depressed in the upper-left corner of Target Build Settings to reveal the "Code Signing Identity" section.
4). retry your Product > Archive.
If the issue persists after the above, I recommend continuing onto Apple's complete list of potential causes of this error at the following URL "How do I resolve the error: Application failed codesign verification?"
My problem was solved when I noticed that I only had a "team" provisioning profile, and the details in iOS Dev Center told me that it was not a profile fit for development because it had no device attached. So I created a second provisioning profile, which let me check the box for my device so that it had a device attached.
Then when validating or submitting the app from the Organizer window (after pressing 'Build and archive'), I first made the mistake of selecting this new profile as the code signing profile. That was wrong. The profile that worked was iPhone Developer.
Good luck!
PS: This whole submission process is a heap of abacadabra. Do you really have to create a zillion distribution profiles, provisioning profiles, etc.? It hasn't encouraged me in any way to better test my app. I already did that before I chose to upload, and clicking a hundred buttons labeled 'Create','Download' and 'Submit' isn't really a quality control process that added anything (well except being forced to buy an iPad and test on that). Who ever said iOS was developer friendly?
My problem was that the Archive scheme did not have Build Configuration of App Store, but of Release. To change this, go to Product -> Edit scheme, select Archive on left side and change Build Configuration to App Store. I am assuming the code signing is configured properly (with distribution certificate).
You probably created a new certificate without refreshing the provisioning profiles
Create your iOS Distribution Provisioning Profile for App Store Distribution
I solved this by deleting the Archive that's not validating from the Organizer, closed and reopened Xcode and built for Archiving again.
I then chose Archive from the drop down menu. After doing that my app passed validation.
Hope that helps.
I have restarted this process about 4 times over the past 3 weeks. I have not succeeded in submitting my app to the store. Please help me! I just started over again tonight, I did it in this order:
Deleted everything referring to the IPhone in my Keychain,
Redownloaded the Distribution Certificate
Created a new app id called: com.myapp
Downloaded the Provision Profile and installed it into XCode.
Please note: I did not install an Entitlements.plist because I was told I didn't need one. Everything is looking good at this point.
Duplicated my "Release" Configuration and renamed "Distribution"
Under the Configuration of "Distribution", Code Signing Identity, I can see my Provision Profile it actually says: IPhone Distribution: My Name (for Application Identifiers: com.myapp)
So at this point at the bottom of the Project Info Window I see this:
The name (“common name”) of a valid code-signing certificate in a keychain within your keychain path. A missing or invalid certificate will cause a build error. [CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY]
So I realize I haven't altered my bundle name for my app, I change it to com.myapp, warning still doesn't go away. I tried adding in my prefix into the Bundle Identifier like this:
5JSF8843kJJ.com.myapp (for example)
But the error still doesn't go away!
After all this I try to Build and Run on my device anyway thinking it may go away. But I get this error:
The iPod “myIpod” doesn’t have the provisioning profile with which the application was signed.
Click “Install and Run” to install the provisioning profile “myprofile” on “myIpod” and continue running “myappname.app”.
Please Help! I need to get this to work!
Thank you for your time.
UPDATE: I have fully tested the app and I am ready to distribute, I am trying to get a successful Build so that I can zip up my .app file and submit it using Application Loader.
You can't run an app using the Distribution certificate or Distribution Build.
You shouldn't duplicate your Release Build until after you get it running and configured exactly as needed, except for the choice of code signing certificate.
I'm trying to do ad hoc distribution. When I use XCode, the application installs fine on my phone.
In preparation for ad hoc distribution, I created the default entitlements file, unchecked the get-task-allow box, added the entitlements file name to the code signing entitlements line, and tried to install on my phone.
If I have the file in the entitlements in build settings, I get the (dreaded) error
The entitlements specified in your application's Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile.
(0xE8008016).
This ONLY happens if I have the entitlements file listed in the code signing section.
I created a brand new application to test this, to see what could have gone wrong and this happens with a completely new test application (so it doesn't seem like clean builds, opening and closing XCode, etc will help).
What am I missing? I've read all of the other times this has occurred and nothing seems to apply.
You need to follow these steps
Have you changed the bundle identifier in your project's info.plist???
Please make sure that this also matches with your provisioning profile's identifier.
go to your projects info. select the configuration you want your build to be deployed then check in build settings that you have added the dist.plist file and the provisioning profile is the same thta you need to run with.
If you are making the build for distribution then set the get-task-allow mark as unchecked
Hope this helps.
I've made it! The reason is you got wrong Certificates! If you're using development Certificates, you can't use the distribution Certificates.
Do the following steps:
Remove the provisiong file from the Xcode -> Organizer
Download again from your developer account. Make sure that you have downloaded profile from distribution tab.
Drag and drop that profile to Xcode
Change the bundle identifier of your plist that match with your provisioning profile App ID.
Go to application setting target and active target and choose your profit from there.
Now rebuild and run the app.
It's also worth noting that this problem may be rooted in trying to install properly authored programs on Jailbroken devices. At least in my case, all my development units and I kept getting this error. By adding the get-task-allow BOOL type to a Entitlements.plist file, I still got the error but the files were installed on the devices (live debugging doesn't work though).
Have you checked that the Code Signing Identity values under Project > Build Settings and Targets > Build Settings are correct?
I found I had to add the new device I was testing on to my Provisioning Profile, on the IOS Provisioning Profile Site.
I had not agreed to the new updated licensed agreement from apple.
Briefly :
Please log in to your developer's account -> profile's -> review -> read the agreement or get your lawyer read it for you -> agree (at your own will) -> and again click profile's to check the status of your profile.
In my scenario the valid code signing entity was not showing up. When i followed the above procedure it was visible and i was able to run the app on the device and/or create the iPA file without much difficulty.
For what its worth, I had this issue with one app but not another. Seems the "Provisioning Profile" in Target->BuildSettings->Code Signing had to be set to "Automatic". If you selected one of the ones in the list it failed with this error.
me too got this type of error, i resolved this by deleting current Entitlement.plist and adding new Entitlement.plist.
Because the project i was trying to run was build on 3.2 sdk and current i am using 4.2.
That was the only reason i was getting error
It seems this error code is used for many situations. In my case, the problem started to happen after we set our DataProtectionClass to NSFileProtectionComplete. I'm not sure of the fix yet.
Removing the entitlement wasn't and option for me as I wanted to use "iCloud", so after digging a little I found that the problem was that "iCloud" not being enabled on the app configuration on the "iOS Provisioning portal".
Enabling it and regenerating the provisioning did the trick for me.
My issue was that the Distribution Profile was created as Ad hoc rather than In House making the device I was running the app on not accept it.
Make sure that the device is added to the Provisioning Profile or create an Enterprise Profile.
Another pitfall while trying to correct this error: you'll also need to replace provisioning profiles from embedded extensions.
In my case, the provisioning profile of my iOS app was just fine. It took me hours to figure out that the provisioning profile of my widget (or Today Extension) needed an update, due to a new device to test on.
Make sure you check all relevant and related targets, not only the target you're trying to execute.
