One thing that you ll want to watch out for  it s a stupid mistake on my part  but it happens   is that the email address attached to the CSR needs to be the same as the email connected to your Apple Dev account  Once I used a new CSR and rebuilt all the certs and provisioning profiles  all was well in applesville

I had the same problem the distribution build  It just happened all of sudden  In fact I did not have this problem a few days ago and I had my Ad-Hoc version compile right  This issue came up because my certificate just expired today  So I went create a new provisional following Apple s guidance   http   developer apple com ios manage distribution index action     After spending hours on the net and made sure I had not fallen for what could go wrong  Here is what save me as suggested by Tobias and Dan Ray        discovered that you can right click the error message in Xcode to view details       the issue was an expired certificate on my System keychain  Keychain Access doesn t  by default  show expired certs      The detailed information told me about ambiguous matching two certificates  One of them happened to be an expired certificate in the System key chain  So I deleted the expired one then it worked  I also had a concern about what to enter in the  common name  when create the distribution certificate using the keychain utility  my name or my company name  In my case  I entered my name  I am guessing it is the same as the title that addressed by the developer s auto responder email    Great help  Thanks

I had the same unknown error from codesigning that you mentioned  Similar to the answer provided  but a little different   I just locked my keychain access and unlocked it  and I was able to build and run to my device again  If anyone has the same issue  perhaps try that first before going through the trouble of modifying the keychain password

I had the same problem but also listed in the error log was this  CSSMERR TP CERT NOT VALID YET  Looking at the certificate in KeyChain showed a similar message  The problem was due to my Mac s system clock being set incorrectly  As soon as I set the correct region time  the certificate was marked as valid and I could build and run my app on the iPhone

I just came across this error and it was because I was trying to write the build file to a network drive that was not working   Tried again from my desktop and it worked just fine    You may have to  Clean  the build after you move it   Just choose  Clean all Targets  from the  Build  drop-down menu    Tobias is correct though  dig into the details on the code by right-clicking it to see what your specific problem is

I just came across this error  and here s what I found out in case this helps anyone  I discovered that you can right click the error message in Xcode and choose expand to get more details  including a description of the problem   In my case  I had two copies of my developer certificate with the same name in different keychain files  and Xcode couldn t figure out which one to use

after hours of googling and trying out different things  this is what fixed it for me    Make sure there are no certificates in the System   Certificates tab on Keychain Access  Remove all duplicate certificates from there  Install the WWDR intermediate certificate under certificates from the provisioning portal  in addition to the developers certificates and make sure you see it in the Login   Certificates tab on Keychain Access    hope this helps some of you

I have to agree with Tobias   The error is too generic   When the same thing happened to me I dug into the error message and realized I d screwed up something in the build properties  but not the code signing   So yeah  I d dig in to the details

I was also getting this error    usr bin codesign failed with exit code 1    and when I looked in Keychain Access my developer certificates were marked as  This certificate was signed by an unknown authority   I had recently upgraded to Mac OS 10 8 and have had a couple of other XCode  4 5 2  issues since then  It turns out I did not have the WWDR intermediate certificate installed  I downloaded that from the iOS Provisioning Portal  installed that in Keychain Access  and my project builds again

Throwing my comments into the ring  I just came across this after attempting to refresh my development environment after clicking DENY accidentally on one of the application requests  after searching around I found a number of things that didn t seem to work   This is the full order in which I ve attempted the fixes and whether there was a success   1  Attempted to clear the DerivedFiles and restart XCode - no dice  2  Attempted to Log and Unlock the Keychain  then restart XCode - no dice  3  Attempted to refresh my developer account within XCode - no dice  4  Bit the bullet and just reset my entire keychain  after doing so my developer account was signed out  signed back in   then restarted XCode - no dice  5  Found an article on here that said that we needed to set the  login local System  certificate Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate Authority to  System default    But in my case it was already set to system default - no dice  6  Then I looked at my actual developer certificate login my certificates Mac Developer   and when I looked in there it was correctly set to Confirm before allowing access BUT there was no entries in the lower section   There should be  Xcode  codesign  productbuild    I deleted the certificate entry and restarted XCode - bingo  The certificate was added and I was then prompted   So what did I do  I pressed  always allow  and then just boned myself     I had to go back and delete the certificate again  then go through about 20 allow dialogs during a clean build   Once completed  I was able to build completely

In my case error was due to the fact that I had two keys on the keychain with the same name  I deleted the old one and that solved the issue   Going to the detail message show the real problem to me

In My Case  after a fews days of research   All I did to revolve is listed below    delete all the certificate on your keychain  goto your apple account  a  download the specify certificate your want to install on your keychain  b  Optional  Also create and download the require profile  in Xcode  clean your project  This may take some time  Build your project    This should work for similar codesign issues   Note  during this process the OS would ask for your credential validation

There could be a lot of reason when you get this kind of error    Check whether you have selected a provisioning profile which includes the valid Code Signing Identity and a valid Bundle Identifier in Settings   Goto Build Settings- Signing- Provisioning Profile   Open Keychain Access and click on lock icon at top left  so it will lock the login keychain and then again click to unlock       Goto File- Project Settings- Derived Data and delete your project build folder  After that clean and build your app

I had the exact same error  and tried everything under the sun  including what was elsewhere on this page  with no success   What the problem was for me was that in Keychain Access  the actual Apple WWDR certificate was marked as  Always Trust    It needed to be  System Defaults    That goes for your Development and Distribution certificates  too   If any of them are incorrectly set to  Always Trust   that can apparently cause this problem   So  in Keychain Access  click on the Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate Authority certificate  select Get Info   Then  expand the Trust settings  and for the combo box for  When using this certificate    choose  System Defaults    Others have commented that you may have to do this in System and login keychains for these errors

It might be strange answer for codesign issue in Xcode 9 0  I was receiving this error too and did not know what to be done  because everything was correct   I went to the keychain  I had the login option  unlocked   I locked it and compiled my build again  Xcode itself asked me to open access keychain  I gave access and it worked   Steps were    Go to keychain Lock it Archive the code  build the project again

Sometimes your build folder simply needs cleaning - it certainly worked for me  Thanks to loafer-project for the solution

Update  The Technical Note in my original answer is now deprecated  Apple posted a collection of code signing problems  and some solutions  in a new document  Technical Note TN2407 Code Signing Troubleshooting Index  Check the CODE SIGN IDENTITY property in your build settings  Is your provisioning profile selected there  You also need to enter a valid bundle identifier in your apps  plist  The identifier has to match the one you provided when generating the profile  Apple has a technote about that here
