Yet another iPhone Code Signing error …

On March 2, 2010, in Good Advice, by Steffen Itterheim

Today, i’ve had this one:

“Code Sign error: Provisioning profile ‘xxxxx’ specifies the Application Identifier ‘com.xxxxx.*’ which doesn’t match the current setting ‘(null)’”

So why does it say it doesn’t match (null)? That seemed a bit strange. It took me a few minutes to find the answer, which is simple: in the target’s Build properties make sure that “Info.plist File” is set correctly. In my case, there was a path included which had changed, so Xcode couldn’t find the Info.plist file anymore. Simply removing the path so that only “Info.plist” was left fixed the problem for me.

    Thanks! I am trying to get products to the app store before the end of the day, and ran into this when I created another target from my project. I’d forgotten that whatever I do in Edit Project Settings I also have to double-check in Edit Active Target… sure enough, there was an invalid info.plist reference there.
