"A distribution profile is required when building for the app store." - Headache

Targets iOS
1

I got an Apple developer subscription yesterday.
I created an iOS Distribution profile and downloaded it in Xcode.

But I still get that message each time I try to build for the App Store.
I tried restarting my Mac, restarting Xojo, installing Xcode 8.0 (had v7.x)

And the issue persists. Please help :slight_smile:

OSX or iOS?

OSX requires a 3rd party app (AppWrapper etc) to sign you app after the fact.
iOS should sign it via Xcode

iOS Dave.

I thought Xojo was responsible for code-signing.
How to code-sign within Xcode ?
And in this case do I have to select “Code-Signing -> No Team” in Xojo ?

Xojo IDE does code signing for iOS apps.

Have you also created a development profile for your app? Does the bundle ID match the profiles?

I don’t know the specifics as I use another tool for my iOS work, but I know that “no team” is NOT the right answer

In Xcode I have the option of “None”, “”, “add new account”
but somewhere you need to connect your new Apple Dev account

Dave, since you don’t use Xojo for iOS, please refrain from answering. You are confusing the issue.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for pointing out that a development profile is also needed.
I have now created a new development and deployment profile using an explicit Bundle identifier (previous one was com.company.*)

And for the first time I saw a popup asking to access Keychaing.

Problem solved!

Nothing I said was wrong, but if you feel so strongly, please delete my “offending” posts

I also discovered that I couldn’t get the * bundle identifier to work but an explicit one solved my problem.

I never succeeded with generic identifiers either.

I feel your pain.

@dave duke you can’t use generic identifiers. I don’t know why but it hasn’t worked for me, and I know others here have had similar issues.

There are really very few reasons to use generic identifiers anyway, just save yourself the pain and make unique identifiers.
