How to solve "Application failed codesign verification" when uploading to iTunes Connect?
I found the solution to this problem after deeply looking at the log file.
Although I created my own Distribution Profile and assigned to the CODE SIGNING IDENTITY the correct value for the developer certificate, it didn't work giving me an error: "Application failed codesign verification".
The problem is at the following line:
Authority=iPhone Developer: My Name (XXXXXXXXX)
Despite the correct selection in the project settings for the Distribution profile, XCode was compiling it with the developer certificate.
I finally solved it: Right click on the "Targets" -> Get info -> and there it was selected (don't ask me why) the wrong distribution certificate instead of the right one.
I corrected that and it finally was accepted.

Excellent post. I too was having this trouble and after much headache realized that both the Project AND the Target should be checked for using the correct Code Signing Identity. Somehow Xcode was reverting back to the Developer Provisioning Profile instead of the Distribution Provisioning Profile. It even did so on a build right after I had deliberately selected the correct one!
I. To be safe, first do the following:
- Clean all builds.
- Delete contents of build folder in finder.
- Delete existing code signing identities from the project and target settings.
- Restart Xcode.
II. Then check the Project for the correct Provisioning Profile:
- Go to
Project Settings > Build Tab > Code Signing Identity - Select the appropriate Distribution Provisioning Profile
III. Now check the Target:
Target > Get Info > Build Tab > Code Signing Identity- Select the appropriate Distribution Provisioning Profile
IV. Cross fingers and hope you never see that blasted little yellow triangle again.
