I came across exactly the same issue quite recently. After reading many different advices which none of them worked for me, I finally went under the hood and found the root cause of the issue.

Mobile provisioning file actually DOESN'T match with the Entitlements file generated by Xcode.

Although all files are anaged automatically by Apple tool, they are not correct.

If you download provisioning file from Apple portal and open it (you can open it because it's just plist file signed by your certificate, so it's readable by text editor) and compare it with your Entitlements file (automatically generated by Xcode and residing in project files (so it's again plist XML file readable by text editor). Then you can see the difference.

In my case it was Game Center entitlement. It was displayed on the portal as checked (checked by default) but actually this entitlement was not included in mobile provisioning file. So it was matter of deleting it from Entitlements file.

So the result is - content of mobile provisioning profile sometimes doesn't match with what is displayed on the APP ID configuration page.

It seems to be a little bug inside Xcode  Try to archive it anyway  even there is a problem with entitlements  If your entitlements are fine  it will be uploaded without any problem  Apple accept it  and your app will be published to the AppStore    I did it  and it worked

I think your problem lies because of the profile that you were using xCode4 6 and now you are using xCode5   You need to refresh certificates provisioning profiles via XCode   Preferences   Accounts  XCode   Preferences   Accounts   Click on your DEV ACCOUNT   View Details button  bottom right    Signing Iden PPs screen appears   hit Refresh   Then choose again from build settings the correct profile and clean and build your project    Hope this helps you

In my case  I need enable Inter-App Audio in   Capabilities - gt   Inter-App Audio  I think because I use Parse com Notification  it need link to AudioToolbox framework

User · Answer

I found out the problem  The app I created on developer apple com does not include inter-app-audio  The project entitlements plist file on Xcode has inter-app-audio set to YES  by default   Once I changed the setting on my app configuration on developer apple com to enable the inter-app-audio  Then my app runs on my devices  I guess that is apple s new rule to make your app settings consistent on both developer apple com and your xcode project setting

User · Answer

The solution for latest Xcode   First you have to check what is enabled in your Member center for your specific AppID     Then in your appropriate target in Xcode you have to enabled the same capabilities  In this case  App Group  Game Center  In-App Purchase  All of them have to be enabled in your target in Xcode     However it doesn t matter for DEBUG mode     it very matters for your RELEASE mode    Note that Game Center and In-App Purchase are enabled by default in Member Center but are disabled in Xcode s target

For those who have the same problem with Provisioning Profile Automatic in the targets Build Settings     Be very careful when you edit your targets entitlements file  This might break the correspondence to the automatically generated provisioning profile  and you will get this error     In my case  I had to use temporarily the iCloud production containers with debug builds  To do so  I inserted     lt key gt com apple developer icloud-container-environment lt  key gt   lt string gt Production lt  string gt      in the entitlements file and this worked  To remind me that I had later to remove these lines  I further inserted simply the following comment      lt key gt TODO lt  key gt   lt string gt The entry below must be out commented or deleted to use the iCloud development environment  lt  string gt      And this broke the correspondence  and created the error

All said above is correct  especially by Bartlomiej Semanczyk  re-recheck entitlements settings in Dev Center AND in your project   my two cents for Xcode 9  iOS 11    If You add new entitlements for NFC  valid only for iOS11   Xcode 9  in your repo where you also have an Xcode 8 project  Xcode 8 WILL fail   So in case you use multiple projects with the same base code  with conditional compilation  sharing the same non-code files  be SURE to differentiate entitlements files between different Xcode version

Xcode 6 1    The problem for me was in my Build Settings  I had my Provisioning Profile set to an App Store Production Profile when trying to deploy to a device  I switched it to  Automatic  and it resolved my issue  You could also set it to your Dev Provision Profile   I also have 2 Certificates  so I added my second Certificate to my dev provision  Others probably won t have this problem

The error message from xcode app installation sometime can be very misleading  I have aligned the entitlements many times  but the root cause is not because of that  it is because I have changed the certificate and my build pipeline script was using wrong certificate SHA value   usr bin codesign --force --sign 701BB03735D5960C855D6E79223414F93F40065E --entitlements  workspace xxx app xcent --timestamp none  workspace xxxx app  for my case  nothing s wrong with my entitlement file  it is because 701BB03735D5960C855D6E79223414F93F40065E is wrong  but the error message always print out as The executable was signed with invalid entitlements  Wasted my whole day for this

User · Answer

The answers here seem a bit inadequate so I m adding my two cents   The real solution is that there is generally a mismatch between what is stored in your provisioning profile  check at developer apple com -  members -  certificates -  the cert you re using  be sure to check if  dev production  and what is enabled in your app  double click project name   under horizontal menu select Capabilities   next to  General     If you ve recently changed one of these  be sure to refresh your certificates under XCode -  Preferences -  Accounts -  Details -  Refresh Icon and restart XCode

Another thing to check - make sure you have the correct entities selected in both     Targets -  Your Target -  Build Settings -  Signing   and     Project -  Your Project -  Build Settings -  Code Signing Entity   I got this message when I had a full dev profile selected in one and a different  non-developer  Apple ID selected in the other  even with no entitlements requested in the app

First and foremost make sure the correct provisioning profile is selected for the configuration that you have selected before building if you have manually set the provisioning profile  If you have set automatic as your provisioning profile make sure the correct provisioning profile is being picked up by Xcode while building
