Codesign error in Xamarin Studio 5.9.7 (build 9) and Xamarin.iOS 9.0.1.18

Question

I have upgraded Xamarin Studio to the latest version in the beta channel. When I try to run the app I get the following error:

Signing application
codesign -v --force --sign "[hex]" --entitlements "/Users/[username]/devel/git/[app]/bin/iPhone/Debug/[app].xcent" "/Users/[username]/devel/git/[app]/bin/iPhone/Debug/[app].app"
/Users/[username]/devel/git/[app]/bin/iPhone/Debug/[app].app: invalid resource specification rule(s)
codesign exited with code 1

Why could this be? And how can I get around it?

• Xamarin Studio 5.9.7 (build 9)
• Xamarin.iOS 9.0.1.18 (Business Edition)
• Xcode 7.0 (8227) Build 7A220

The closest clue I got was https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/28480/upload-to-appstore-failed-contains-an-invalid-key-cfbundleresourcespecification-in-bundle , but I can't find the option in Xamarin Studio mentioned.

It's a known issue mentioned here. Partial workaround did the trick for me.

Non-public Bug 31424 - [Xamarin Studio] [iOS] Classic API on Mac only: "Resource rules files "" not found". Partial workaround: Enable "Project Options -> General -> Use MSBuild build engine (unsupported for this project type)" and clean and rebuild the project. (The MSBuild build engine does now work for many Classic API projects.)
