Application failed codesign verification due to invalid entitlements

Question

I've googled the crap out of this and can't find any solutions. It happened to me a few months ago as well when I was updating a different app.

I'm running Xcode 4.2.

Build log:

Answer 1

I bet the key (pardon the pun?) to your problem is here:

Illegal entitlement key/value pair: com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier, 894BCL9P67.com.manahan.thoughtspreader
Illegal entitlement key/value pair: com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers, <CFArray 0x10d10aa10 [0x7fff7d96cea0]>{type = mutable-small, count = 1, values = (...

Is your app id still 894BCL9P67.com.manahan.thoughtspreader?

Or have these keys changed / need to be updated? (per the instructions here?)

That link suggests you need the team id and not your app id bundle seed. YMMV. (Apple documents those keys here, suggests the same thing. I'm guessing you're using iCloud, or set your project up to use it initially.)

For anyone not familiar w/ iCloud setup, you can change the value of those keys here:

That settings pane is part of the target summary, under your project file. Select the target you want and the Summary 'tab', like so (then scroll to the bottom):

Apple's docs for configuring these are here.
