How to resolve Xcode codesign error about multiple binaries sharing the same path?

Question

When I try to export a signed copy of my application from the Archives screen, I get the following error.

I used find . -type l ls to find symlinks in my project directory: there are none. I went to the Xcode/Archives folder for this archive and searched for symlinks there, and there are some but none of them are in the DevMateKit.framework mentioned in the error message. I've also tried adding a build step to manually delete the second binary, but it doesn't help.

The code signing is being done automatically by Xcode, and the files are being copied through a standard Copy Files task. There is also one manual piece of code signing, done through a Run Script task, which manually codesigns a different framework to the one in the error message (although I can't see how that would be relevant). My Xcode version is 6.3.1.

Any suggestions?

OK, so I believe the reason this happens is as follows. The DevMateKit.framework is pre-codesigned by the developer. But I suspect that their source has symlinks in it, and they have signed it all in such a way that this error occurs, but when packaging the framework for download have removed the symlinks so it appears there is nothing that code be done.

I experimented with signing the code myself, which I think would work, but after some experimentation decided to simply delete the binaries that are directly inside any CrashReporter.framework directory, and leave the ones inside any CrashReporter.framework/Versions/.../ directory. This removes the duplicated binaries and appears to work perfectly.

But I'm not an expert on this process, so it's entirely possible that I was just doing something wrong.

If you are using DevMateKit v1.1.1 or less, check your 'Link Binary With Libraries' build phase and phase where you are copying frameworks and remove DevMateIssuesReporter.framework from the list if it's present there. If it won't help, just contact DevMate support with this problem or create a new issue with GitHub (https://github.com/DevMate/DevMateKit)
