Difference between code signing target and project

I noticed that in Xcode I can set the Entitlements and Code signing settings both on:

  • the Project (double click on the top item in Groups & File, which has the name of the project)
  • the Target (under Targets, double click on your project name).

What's the difference between these two? I know that with header paths, one tends to override the other (without warning of course...).

How iOS code signing works?

Code signing your app assures users that it's from a known source and hasn't been modified since it was last signed. Before your app can integrate app services, be installed on a device, or be submitted to the App Store, it must be signed with a certificate issued by Apple.

What is code signing Apple?

Code signing is a macOS security technology that you use to certify that an app was created by you. Once an app is signed, the system can detect any change to the app—whether the change is introduced accidentally or by malicious code.

What is automatic code signing?

Automatic code signing means automatically managing the provisioning profiles that are available on your Apple Developer Portal account. If you set up some form of authentication to your Apple account, Bitrise can download and install the provisioning profile for your app during the build process.

What are code signing entitlements?

During code signing, the entitlements corresponding to the app's enabled Capabilities/Services are transferred to the app's signature from the provisioning profile Xcode chose to sign the app. The provisioning profile is embedded into the app bundle during the build.

Target settings override Project settings. Project settings are valid for all Targets where the setting has not been overridden.
