I took a bit of a hiatus from iOS to work on an Angular project and had this surprise waiting for me when I came back :-) In my case, I think it had to do with the fact that Apple is merging its developer programs, (at least from what I understand they are merging their developer programs), and I had to accept their new agreements.

Anyways, to fix this I combined a lot of the answers you'll find here and scattered throughout the web.

First, make sure to accept any pending agreements through both iTunes Connect and Apple's developer center. Make sure to accept any agreements in the "Agreements, Tax and Banking" section in iTunes Connect.

Second, via Xcode, go to Preferences -> Accounts -> View Details and at the bottom left there should be an option to refresh your profiles. When I did this Xcode installed a few new profiles.

Finally, restart Xcode.

Give some time in between each step for Apple's servers to update if these steps don't work right away.

Removed the profiles from the directory on your machine     Library MobileDevice Provisioning Profiles   And logged to apple developer centre and edited the specific provisioning profile and selected the certificate for provisioning profile and generated the profile again  Installed the new profile and it worked for me

If your certificate is not installed locally  Or you tried running the certificate and opted to  revoke and request  a new certificate then you have the option to do that on the machine you are trying to run on   go to Preferences-  Accounts-  under your AppleId -  View Details -  under signing identities you can see the status of your certificate  Valid  or  Revoked  if revoked and you want to request a new one go to the -    then -  the type of distribution you are trying to use

This may be somewhat of an empirical approach but is worthwhile in the face of many commentators noting either  this worked for me  or  this didn t work for me   Firstly  the problem can lie in a number of locations  either your certificates  code signing identities  or your provisioning profiles  Identifying where the problem lies first before doing anything will save a lot of wasted effort  You will need to check in three places    XCode  Keychain Access The Developer Portal  Developer Members Centre    OK  in XCode click on the Project  Above the Targets Heading   select Build Settings and scroll to  Code Signing   Expand the  CODE SIGNING IDENTITY  heading and you will see a bunch of identities  Debug  Release etc   Each one of these will match up with a certificate in Keychain Access  Find the match and check the expiry date   if it has expired you will need to update it in the Developer Portal and download it  Check EVERY identity  not just the first one you find that has expired  Also  if it has expired you will need to regenerate any provisioning profile that used the expired certificate   If no problems with the certificates  check the expiry date of all the Provisioning Profiles  Once again  if they have expired  they will need to be regenerated   Once complete  repeat the same process for the TARGET you are trying to build for   None of this worked  An expired certificate is lurking in one of your provisioning profiles  A sign that this might be the case is that when you click on a CODE SIGNING IDENTITY the identity is below Other    eg    This is usually a sure sign that there is an expired certificate lurking about and that one of your profiles is using it

Found another way this occurs today  When you edit your provisioning profile after a certificate change you can see the certificates selected says 2 of 1 certificates selected  if you just use 1 certificate   Just by unselecting and reselecting the certificate you can regenerate and install the profile and it solves the problem

If all the above previous suggestions fail after renewing your certificate  as they did for me  browse to the following location     Library MobileDevice Provisioning Profiles     and delete your provisioning profiles   Then download your provisioning profile again from   https   developer apple com account ios profile profileList action

In the latest update from xcode this problem usually occurs when your certificate has expired and xcode continues to use the old one until it has expired   Closing xcode and opening it again will fire off an automatic process of downloading your new certificate and getting your app working   Just close xcode right down  Cmd   Q  then open it back up again  load your project and hit play    it will ask you if you d like assistance to auto fix the certificate problem then you just follow the onscreen instructions and it does all the hard work for you

In my case  this dialog message worked     The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid       Please verify that your device   s clock is properly set  and that your   signing certificate is not expired        0xE8008018     My certificate in Keychain Access was given status to be not valid yet in red color with expiry about one year and an hour in future  I set my time to be one hour ahead and status of the certificate became valid in green color  So  anyone out here who thinks the solution to be the xcode restart is not correct but it would be cause of time elapsed of the xcode restart to make the certificate valid  As  by clicking the Fix Issue button revokes and creates new certificate with exactly one year ahead  plus some minutes depending upon locales to raise this issue
