The answer is


I was having same issue on Xcode 7.3 with iPad Air 2 with iOS 9.3.4! Then I tried many options.

Finally I deleted profile from device, changed bundle identifier in project settings, and whola! It worked for me.

P.S. I was using free provision profile using free Apple ID.


For me, it was an inconsistency between Debug profile (it was automatic) and Release profile (it was manual). Setting them both automatic/manual resolved the issue.


I had to delete all the provisioning profiles by following this article.

Reassign the value of Automatically manage signing, this works for me


None of the previous answers either applied or worked for me. In my case, updating the settings of the test project, as follows, fixed it:

Check your bundle identifier and your profiles. If you have a profile for a specific bundle identifier and no team ones and your bundle identifier does not match it will give you that error.

Bundle identifier is in General section of your project properties and the profiles you can check in build settings.


In my case, the app main Target's Team was different from Tests' Target Team. Changing the Tests' Team to the same Team as main Target's solves the issue.


Had this issue with a cordova / ionic3 app, was caused by forking a main app and not selected again the legacy system in project settings. I selected legacy and the entitlements bs went away.


In my case (using XCode 10.0) nothing worked but this:

File > Project Settings... > Shared Project Settings: > Build System --> Selected "Legacy Build System" instead of the default "New Build System (Default)".


for me, just press cmd+, then go to account ,chose your developer account refresh(XCODE6) OR download all (XCODE7) will fix.


In XCode 7.3 I encountered the same question, I 've made the mistake because: Name in (info.plist -->Bundle identifier) is not the same as (target-->build settings -->packaging-->Product bundle identifier). Just make the same, that solved the problem.


Had the same problem, nothing was helping, but I looked in Info.plist and found out that bundle ID was changed to other name (I don't know how it happened), so when I changed it to correct one everything was fine again.


First of all, you should check bundle id, provision profile and certificate with private key (.p12).

If it doesn't help. Be sure that the Code Signing Entitlements has correct value or remove it at all.

In my case, I had a duplicate Provisioning Profile with the same name. This was accidentally created when I added an share extension to my project, stash all of those changes with git, and created a new share extension with the same name (com.companyname.project.share-extension-name). Deleting the Provisioning Profile in the developer member center (developer.apple.com) fixed this for me.


One possible reason for this error is: your annual subscription has been renewed. Once the subscription is renewed, all devices related to the active provision profiles will be detached.

  1. The admin must reactivate the list of devices for the new subscribed year.
  2. The admin must delete last year provision profiles. (all are useless).
  3. The admin must regenerate new provision profiles for the new year with the list of devices of his choice.

After this, rebuild project with Xcode and the error will disappear.


You should check provision profile is Product or Develop, if your project use multi configuration You should check configuration which called by schema, because it must make sure, your configuration was set provision Develop


For me in Xcode 5.1, I was getting The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile. when trying to test the app on my device. Device Development Certificate has to expire Feb 2015.

Issue was resolved:

Selected Target->Capabilities, under GameCenter, here I was getting error on GameCenter entitlement as it was not added to project, although first version of application was released via same XCode 5.1 but there were no errors like this before.

Below, a button was given with title Fix Issue. When clicked it added the GameCenter entitlement and issue was resolved.

After wards the screen looks like:

For me, there was nothing to do with certificate or bundle identifier. App now runs successfully on the device.


I have also this problem when I do with XCode project what is exported from cordova framework. Resolution : You have to create Apple-ID and Provisioining-profile by yourself. Because Xcode seems to be unable to create it for you.


As others have pointed out, if you get this error, you need to check that the Bundle ID value in both your .plist file and also here:

Xcode project Build Settings tab with Product Bundle Identifier focused


File > Workspace Settings > Build System > Legacy Build System

This worked for me. Xcode 10.0


This happened to me when I was trying to build an App-store ipa exported file on my device, I had to export ad-hoc instead.


Had this issue. My main app and extension belonged to the same app group id correctly, but there was also one more app ID not in my project that shared said app group id. I had to remove this last app ID's association with the app group.
