For those coming from Ionic or Cordova  you can try the following  Disconnect your ios devices from the computer before ios cordova build ios --release  seems to change the targeted device for xcode signing

I had the same problem  I noticed that If you want to make a release of your iOs app and publish it on the App Store you don t need at all to put in the  Code Signing Identity  as release  just keep it as iOs developer   Go to Your project -  Build Settings -  Code Signing Identity and put everything to iOs developer

If you get this error  App has conflicting provisioning settings  App is automatically signed  but provisioning profile  ID  has been manually specified  Set the provisioning profile value to  Automatic  in the build settings editor  or switch to manual signing in the project editor   then make sure that you have empty PROVISIONING PROFILE option in Target Build Settings

I had this same issue   I realized that it was because I was using xcode while I was using it   Since the updates didn t install correctly  it caused these errors to show up  The only thing that fixed it was to quit xcode and reopen it  When I reopened it  it prompted me to install updates   After the updates were installed  the errors went away

I was struggles long time  I tried all proposed solutions  Nothing work for me   Then I found the issue  there was a  User Defined Settings  for  PROVISIONING PROFILE  at the end of Build Settings tab  I delete it for both Project and Target build settings  Then Automatic signing worked perfect   I hope this will help somebody else

The problem is in the Cordova settings   Note this   iPhone Distribution has been manually specified   This didn   t make any sense to me  since I had set the project to auto sign in xcode  Like you  the check and uncheck didn   t work  But then I read the last file path given and followed it  The file path is APP  gt  Platforms  gt  ios  gt  Cordova  gt  build-release xconfig  And in the file  iPhone Distribution is explicitly set for CODE SIGN IDENTITY   Change   CODE SIGN IDENTITY   iPhone Distribution CODE SIGN IDENTITY sdk iphoneos     iPhone Distribution   To   CODE SIGN IDENTITY   iPhone Developer CODE SIGN IDENTITY sdk iphoneos     iPhone Developer   It a simple thing  and the error message does make it clear that iPhone Distribution has been manually specified  but it doesn   t really say where unless you follow the path  I looked and fiddled with xcode for about three hours trying to figure this out  Hopes this helps anyone in the future

You are way over-thinking this  The process is vastly improved and extremely easy in Xcode 8  Take advantage of that fact   Step One  Do not  in any way  shape  or form  attempt to set the Code Signing settings in the Build Settings  Don t go near them  You will absolutely mess this up  Instead  edit the target and do all the work in the General pane  Best approach  set yourself up for automatic code signing - just enter your Team and check the checkbox  like this     Step Two  Make sure you have an iOS Distribution Identity  Certificate   You can check this under Xcode Preferences   Accounts  View Details  It would also be a good idea at this time to go to the member center and get yourself an App Store mobile provision for this app  and download and install it   Step Three  Choose  Generic iOS Device  as your Destination  and choose Product   Archive  The app will be compiled  the archive is created  and you are now ready to submit to the App Store

Another cordova ionic possible cause of this is if you re using the common branch-cordova-sdk plugin  For some reason the plugin was overwriting code signing identities that had been correctly set in build json when running ionic cordova build ios  I tracked it down to identities that have been set in  plugins branch-cordova-sdk src scripts ios enableEntitlements js file Make sure the debug and release vals are both set to  quot iPhone Developer quot  and this will save you having to do a manual fix in XCodes Build Settings after every build process   const DEBUGCODESIGNIDENTITY    quot iPhone Developer quot     const RELEASECODESIGNIDENTITY    quot iPhone Developer quot      NOT  quot iPhone Distribution quot   This doesn t happen on a different machine with same project plugin so unsure precise root cause but sharing in case it helps others as this ate up a few hours  It was found by searching for occurrences of  quot iPhone Distribution quot  in the project folder  Do the same to identify any other plugin library that might be interfering for you

Using Xcode 10  None of the other solutions here worked for me     I had to revert to Xcode 9 to resolve this issue  and then update back to Xcode 10 so I could run my application on iOS 12 on a non-emulator device   Any other solutions found on Stack Overflow or elsewhere  used in Xcode 10  sent me into an endless cycle of provisioning conflicts or signing certificate issues  It seems like signing is broken in Xcode 10 whether you re using the automatic method or manually selecting provisioning profiles and certificates   You can revert to Xcode 9 by first deleting Xcode 10 from your Applications folder  Then  install Xcode 9 using the  xip file listed on this Apple Developers page   In Xcode 9  use the automatic build option  You may have to uncheck  Automatically manage signing  and reselect it  and you also may be required to revoke an existing certificate at developer apple com   After you get the app to successfully build in Xcode 9  you can update back to Xcode 10 using the App Store  After reopening the application in Xcode 10  everything still worked  You may not need to do this  but I needed to in order to build for iOS 12 which requires Xcode 10
