#1 you choose a provisioning profile in the build settings for either the whole project or individual targets. You set a different profile for each build type.
you should remove all keys and only have the certificates “iPhone Developer: Your Name” and “iPhone Distribution: Your Name” with private keys attached.

#5 because you have not chosen to sign your app as mentioned in #1.

Step #1 – How do you add codesign if its’ missing?

Also, I have 5 pairs of public/private keys. How do I know which ones are being used. Should I delete 4 sets?

Step #5 – My build text doesn’t look anything like yours. I don’t have a Provisioning or Codesign paragraph …

Thanks for your help. Great article.

Hi,

I am new to this iPhone Development and am part of a small team. Did the right steps (I think) but when I drag-and-drop the provisioning profile and activated the approved certificate I get the dreaded “A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain” banner. Are you able to assist in any way?

Just to add my fix…

Use right click on a target to edit the provisioning profile used. Targets can be seen on the left of the Project window.
DO NOT USE the menu item Project->Edit Project Settings

I finally find out the problem. I just renewed my license and everything get solved at its own. That’s strange, because my old license was still valid…

New evidence has appeared that actually you where one of the first to stumble on a new bug on the Apple website! New provisioning profiles are currently missing a vital section. See my new blog post here.

One more thing to check. Have a look at the access control for your private key. Get Info – Access control. How does this look?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes – installed new Apple Worldwide Developers Relations Certificate and re-installed prov profiles..

Can’t actually select the new profiles in the Target settings because of the error. In Organizer I get warning triangles on the Prov Profiles…

Would love to have you check it through with me.. if you’re kind enough to do that and have the time… let me know what to do..

Thanks, C

Craig,

did you check if the Apple root certificate is still valid? Did you remove and reinstall the appropriate provisioning profiles? Did you select the new provisioning profiles for ALL debug/release/distribution ?

I can only think of looking over your shoulder in screen sharing and we go through all the pieces together. Maybe 4 eyes see more than 2.

regards
Oliver

Hi Dr,

I am also having the “A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain” problem. My keychain was already set to default so changing the default keychain to something else and back again has done nothing…

I have previously been working fine but after my last certificates expired – my new ones refuse to work. Have you any other ideas for solving this? Any ideas would be gratefully received! I’ve created and installed so many new certificates in the last couple of days (and matching profiles) I’m going nuts.

Thanks, Craig

Hi,
“login” Keychain is in bold. I guess it’s already the default one. But I still get the error “A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain”. Is there another way to get rid of this message?
Unfortunately, I am not allowed to make a desktop sharing conference, as my company works with secure informations.

Hi,

which of the keychains is typed in bold? You can right-click on a keychain and make it default it is not so already. If you need more help then we need to to a desktop sharing conference where I walk you through all the checks I can think of.

Hello,
I am stuck with the code signing problem, since I download SDK 3.1.3. I cannot push my application to the iphone. In the Organizer, I still have the message: “A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain” and I cannot find, as you suggestion “Set as default” in the Keychain Access. The only choice I found is “New/Add/Delete/Lock Keychain” or “Change Settings or Password. I am also generated a new certificate, but still same result. Could you help me?

This code signing is a madness, it really is… This morning I had the problem you gave a solution for in Step 1: the Login keychain stopped being default in my system, no idea why… I was lucky to find your blog, it saved me a few frustrating hours…

Thanks!
