Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile.

Question

I am an iOS developer and recently i ran in to one weird issue with apple signing certificates, My problem is i have an app build with a production certificate and it works very well but when i use same certificate to build another app it throws me an error mentioned below: "The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile. (0xE8008016)." I am not sure what is wrong?

Answer 1

I ran into this issue myself and found that the test project was set to the same profile as the app project and this caused the issue. For detail take a look at the answer here:

Entitlements don't match Provisioning Profile (0xE8008016)

You can also solve this during build by deselecting the test project in the scheme-build configuration.

After hours wasted this ended up being the solution for me. Hope this helps.
