I am not able to automatically validate signing certificates with XCode 9. I have tried everything including cleaning my project using cmd+shift+k. and removing all ld signing certificates. I have a paid developer account and it is still not working.
Add the apple account to the xcode using preferences.
And this should help you.

I generated a mac installer certificate for use with code signing and am getting an error that is preventing me from using certificate to sign installer
When evaluating certificate in keychain access, I got an error: Invalid Extended Key Usage.
Here is the sequence of errors when trying to evaluate an installer certificate for code signing.
I find this process works better when generating code signing keys with Xcode rather than through the Keychain access app directly. This will help you create your code signing certificate with the correct provisioning and signing parameters for the type of app you are developing. If you don't yet have a paid developer account with Apple, you can still create a self signed certificate for code signing to generate signed apps without uploading them to app store.
First you have to add your Apple ID to Accounts preferences in Xcode.
Start Xcode
Select Xcode > Preferences from the navigation bar.
At the top of the window select Accounts.
Click on the + on the lower left corner and select Add Apple ID...
A dialog will appear. Add your Apple ID and your password, then select Sign in. If you don't have an account you can create your Apple ID by selecting Create Apple ID.
Select your Apple ID and your team from the right side bar, then click on View Details....
A dialog will appear where you will see your code signing identities and the provisioning profiles.
For iOS development, under the signing identities locate the iOS Development and iOS Distribution profiles.
If you have not created them you will see a Create button next to
them.
Simply select it and Xcode will issue and download your code signing
identities for you with the correct developer certificate params for
iOS app development.
Note: If you already have Code Signing Identities issued to your developer account: you will see a Reset button next to them. You can issue new certificates with it, that Xcode will generate and download, however note that this will invalidate your previous certificate, so only do this if you've lost those files or if you know what you are doing!
In future, once you have it all working I also suggest clicking the option in Xcode to allow it to automatically manage code signing. This will automatically renew your certification whenever it expires, so there won't be extra steps to renew. This option should be available in the general project settings of your app, it can also be reached by selecting project > Targets > General > Signing
Hope that helps you, best of luck!
There are some possible reasons for certificate evaluation failure:
The certificate may be not for code signing (similar to this). In this case, you should obtain a new certificate that supports code signing.
The certificate may be for code signing but damaged (similar to this). In this case, you should delete this certificate and install it again.
Note that you can create a self-signed code signing certificate in keychain app for test purpose, following this and this tutorials. Make sure to enable it in "Get Info" > "Trust" set as "Always Trust".
After upgrading to macOS 10.13.4 and Xcode 9.3, my project now makes all my Provisioning Profile ineligible! They worked before upgrade.
The error message for the distribution profile is:
Provisioning profile "distribution profile name" doesn't include signing certificate "development certificate name"
So I search through the forum,
remove ALL items in keychain My Certificate
redownload the distribution profile
(double tap to install to Xcode)
create new distribution profile (double tap to install to Xcode)
recreate the Production certificate (double tap to install to Keychain)
redownload the Development certificate (double tap to install to Keychain)
So now my keychain has two production certificate (one is newly created), and one development certificate, and the error is still there. I found it weird that it asked for the development certificate in distribution profile? (I think this is a clue but I don't know why and what to do.)
So now what should I do? Please help!
I got two options for you:
1) open KeyChain and find the signing certificate that shown in the error message then delete it.
2) you specified the signing certificate in the Build Setting->Signing, so go to the Build Setting->Signing and click the Code Signing Identity. Do not select Automatic (iOS Developer or iOS Distribution), select the one of the signing certificates in the Identities in Keychain which is valid and have associated with the Provisioning Profile.
For XCode 11 and later make sure to update the profile certificate updated with "For use in Xcode 11 or later" which resolves the issue for me.
I temporary solved the issue by going into Build Settings, and manually set Code Signing Identity (the old way). "Automatically manage signing" no longer work properly, but at least it work.
"Automatically manage signing" is not working on Xcode 9.3. Code signing identify should be selected manually in Build Settings.
It is right.
You can select Code Signing Identity as iOS developer for development and iOS distribution for production in Signing of build settings.
check out screenshot it says it all...
Targets>>Build settings>>(search)Product bundle identifier>>this was wrong for me :(
You need to make sure that:
Your Apple Development -> Certificates, Identities & Profiles all have the correct provisioning profile "distribution profile name" that include signing certificate as in fig 1. below
Same inside xCode
fig 1.
"Automatically manage signing" is not working on Xcode 9.3.
Code signing identify should be selected manually in Build Settings.
I had to juggle a bit more too. I deleted my keychain, enabled and disabled autosigning before recreating my certificates.
Then I toggled the certificates in Build Settings section and finally I was able to select the correct certificates in general section.
Really missing the simplicity of signing for Android.. :P
In my case, the Provisioning Profile on developer.apple.com listed two developer certificates. One was selected, and one was not. Changed it so both were selected, saved that, installed the updated profile and that fixed it.
In my case, I changed the Provisioning Profile to solve the problem by changing the Certificate whose type is "iOS Distribution" to another Certificate whose type is "(Distribution) For use in Xcode 11 or later", then download it and import it to keyChain, select it form Xcode.
For anyone running in this issue in 2022 an later..
Sometimes it doesn't include Profiles, so go to below screen and click Edit.
Select the profiles you want to include.
After that, you can go back to xcode and download the profile again.
For me, adding the certificate to the Keychain which is linked to the provisioning profile did not help, which was very strange.
What I did to solve the issue is close XCode and re-open it, which seems stupid but worked! Apparently, it seems XCode does not dynamically read newly added certificates in the Keychain, so you have to close it (if it is kept open while adding the certificate to Keychain) and open it again.
My XCode version: 14.1
In my case I had multiple profiles and various certs. I had to go to Apple developer and edit the profile from the error, and add every cert to it, and then it worked.
in my case, previous certificate got expired , while creating the new provisional certificate i missed to select ios distribution (in house).
If you have this certificate on another machine, you can export it from keychain and import on the other.
My problem was that I didn't know how to match private keys with certificates because I used "all items" filter in KeyChain.
If you switch to Certificates private keys are arranged under certificates, so you can easily export the right pair.
Hi I wanted to submit an update to the Mac App Store today and got the following error message:
What to do?
For me it helped to renew the certificate being used to sign the application. Search for "3rd Party Mac Developer Application" in Keychain, delete it and get a new certificate from https://developer.apple.com/account/mac/certificate/
Make sure you also updated the Apple certificates: Apple Certificate for iOS Developer and Mac Developer is expired "The certificate has an invalid issuer"
Had this issue,
How I fixed it was instead of selecting my normal automatic manage signing. I selected manually manage signing
Then click on the distribution certificate dropdown, followed by manage certificates...
Then you'll notice your current certificate is not in your keychain. You can add a new one with the add button on the bottom left and it'll be your default certificate
Then once added. Click cancel on the manual signing, choose automatic signing again and it should upload.
I have an app that is ready for testing on my iPad, and I've created a development provisioning profile, matched up the bundleID and lowered the iOS deployment target.
However when I downloaded the profile and dragged it into the organizer, it says 'Valid signing identity not found'. I'm pretty sure this has got to do with the certificates in the keychain and private keys (???) however I have no idea how to fix this problem.
Can someone please point me to a tutorial or give me some advice on adding certificates into the keychain without using Xcode; stuff like the 'use for development' button isn't working for me!
Note:
The only valid Provisioning Profiles are distribution.
When I try to click 'Renew' Xcode says 'No value was provided for the parameter 'CertificateIDs'. I hope this helps!
The .p12 file associated with your provisioning profile is not found in your system keychain.
Check the below few things!
Make sure you have enabled the correct certificate while generating the provisioning profile in the apple developer site.
Check if you have any duplicates of the your certificate & private key more than once in your keychain access.
If you do not have the .p12 corresponding to the provisioning profile, Get it exported from the mac system on which it was created & install it in your mac system.
Check your code signing identity set your profile there.
and your Provisioning profile bundle id is same as your app bundle identifier.
To do a valid code-signing - without using XCode - you need a valid certificate and key, corresponding to the provisioning profile :
check with Keychain Access that you indeed have a 'iPhone distribution' certificate, with its own private key.
Make sure this is the same certificate that was used on 'provisioning portal' to create you developement / distribution profile. If not, create a new one, or import the certificate from the other Mac you used when you created the provisioning
Download the provisioning profile, and just double-click it.
Posting this here because none of the other answers really went into enough detail to help me and I still had to figure it out on my own.
On the apple developer website, log in and under certificates click 'All'. The certificate needs to be generated on YOUR machine and with YOUR account or things do not build. This is what confused me... You can click the + icon and make a new certificate (development, or distribution). If it does not let you select for example Distribution, it's because there are already too many certificates in the account. So first, you have to delete an older certificate.
1) Delete the oldest certificate in the portal
2) Click the + and create a new certificate -- this will guide you through opening Keychain Access on your machine and requesting a certificate from apple, and you will have to save a file and upload it to the developer portal to create the certificate.
3) Download the new certificate and it will add to Keychain access
4) Go back to provisioning profiles on dev portal, click EDIT on the one you are trying to use and change it to use the newly generated certificate.
5) Download and click the provisioning profile
6) Everything works great.
This process actually was not that difficult, but for some reason I could not find the correct explanation anywhere. I hope this will help someone.
I had the same issue. I did have all the private keys and everything was correct, but xcode refused to build and kept saying that I didn't have a valid provisioning profile and organiser showed 'valid signing identity not found'.
The solution involved:
revoking my developer certificate and development provisioning profiles from the ios provisioning portal
deleting those certificates from keychain
try building again and tell xcode to 'fix issue'
This lets XCode manage the certificates, and it magically worked.
However on another project I still had the problem, and it was solved by this answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/18966088/1192732
I was going to turn on code signing for my mac app so I'm able to submit the app to the mac app store. But when I select the 3rd party mac application cert for code signing it says that there were no profiles matching.
And when I'm trying to build the app like that I'm getting the error:
Code Sign error: The identity '3rd Party Mac Developer Application'
doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default
keychain
And I can't figure out why. I've tried to revoke and reinstall my certificate but that doesn't seem to help.
Here's 2 screenshots. Of the code signing part in the build settings and one from keychain access.
Maybe your able to see what's wrong?
If you need any more info please let me know! :)
Go to Build Setting --> Code Signing Identity --> Select Don't Code Sign.
it will not show Build & Error. (This will work only when you don't want to sign in).
It seems you have a missing key. I'm not sure on the reason why it's missing, but creating a new certificate will likely work.
