Valid signing identity not found

I posted this in the MacOS forum by mistake as I meant to put it here.

This may not be the right forum for my problem, but it is iOS related (sort of).

All has been going well for months, and suddenly XCode gave me the error "No code signature found" when I tried to copy the app to my iPad (in fact to replace the previous version of the app). So I looked at the provisioning profiles and they all had a warning "Valid signing identity not found." When I did a refresh in XCode, it duly re-downloaded all the certificates and the result was that the iOS team profile became green and showed as valid but the others still had the same warning. I then reassigned the now valid team profile to the app and got the same "No code signature found" when I dragged it to the iPad.

A google search revealed a lot of posts of a similar problem but the only helpful one, that gave details of how a guy fixed the problem [http://iosnote.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/ ... tmare.html] did not help in my case. My certificates are current and the device profiles are still shown as current. I downloaded one of the latter from the Developer site and dragged it into the XCode organiser window but the same result.

My Development certificate was due for renewal on 17 August and I renewed it a couple of weeks before that. It seems significant that the problem reared its head at about the renewal date but I don't know what to do about it. I have looked at Apple's topic on dealing with code signing problems but that did not help because my certificate is valid.

Has anyone else come across the same problem?

TIA
Don

Delete all the expired certificates from the keychain, they can interfere.

Don,

I've just run into the same problem... As Jacque noted, I checked and can find to expired certificates... only active ones. How did you fix this problem?

be well,

Hi Randy

I deleted all the profiles on my Mac and re-did them from the provisioning portal. Turned out to be really easy at it remembered the UDIDs. That did the trick.

Cheers
Don
