Code signing Error: Application failed codesign verification

I am very new to iOS development, I have an app all set and ready to be distributed, but I seem to get this error every single time I run the application on my DEVICE only, the iOS simulator works just fine. Heres the full error:

Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, contains disallowed entitlements, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate. (-19011)

Here's the entire log:

I have already tried shortening the length of the project name, that did not help, I am currently using OSX Lion, on Xcode 4.3.2. I have spent all night pulling my hair out, please help!

Solution 1:

May be xcode selects one of the development profile to sign the code with it.

Make sure it uses the distribution profile

press the project, in the Build Settings -> Code Signing section expand Code Signing Identity -> Release - > make sure that Any iOS SDK is referring to distribution profile.

Solution 2:

I had the exact same issue..

Go to Keychain Access

1. Verify that you have your Public and Private keys set up correctly. This is a good reference https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/technotes/tn2250/_index.html

2. I had previously adjusted my Keychain Certificate Preferences to make Outlook work but that pretty much screwed up XCode code signing..

After I set these to the "best attempt" setting (see screenshot) validation worked fine

Solution 3:

You could solve it is not leaving the profile selection to xcode. Manually select the correct release profile in the project settings and it will go through.
