Signed with same certificate but error: Embedded binary is not signed with the same certificate

Question

The embedded binary and the parent app has the same certificate but I am getting the error message: error: Embedded binary is not signed with the same certificate as the parent app. Verify the embedded binary target's code sign settings match the parent app's.

Answer 1

This is just Xcode making you go crazy,all what you have to do is

1. Go to the Preferences->Accounts (Command+,)
2. Remove the AppleID which is causing the problem
3. Sign in again with the same AppleID

Enjoy :D

Answer 2

There are quite a few reasons the issue may emanate from. Would like to add another plausible check that helped me. Ensure the certificate you are signing with doesn't have 'Always Trust' (you will see a green '+' sign if the setting is such).

1. Go to Key Chain access, double click on the certificate you are using.
2. Expand the 'Trust' drop down and change/set to 'Use System Defaults' from 'Always Trust'.

It's especially true if you are using Swift in your project as the 'Always Trust' setting breaks pertinent Swift libraries.
