Xcode 11.2 - Unable to install App file to device?

Question

I recently updated my OS to Catalina, and updated Xcode to 11.2. Since doing so, when I try to run a release version of my app on my device, I'm simply given the error:

Unable to install the app.

When I tap 'details', it provides me with the following:

App installation failed Domain: com.apple.dtdevicekit Code: -402620395 Failure Reason: A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.

User Info: { DVTRadarComponentKey = 487927; "com.apple.dtdevicekit.stacktrace" = ( 0 DTDeviceKitBase 0x000000011baff6e7 DTDKCreateNSError + 109 1 DTDeviceKitBase

My provisioning profiles are 100% correct, as are my certificates. I have no idea why this is happening, and I've tried absolutely everything to get it to install/run. I've tried:

• Double checked that 'Scheme' has release checked under the 'Run' tab
• Confirmed that correct provisioning profile is selected
• Removing the app from my device
• Creating new provisioning profiles
• Changing my bundle ID
• Creating new certificates
• Cleaning the build folder, restarting Xcode
• Reinstalling Xcode
• Deleting the Derived Data folder

NONE of the above has worked. I've been at this for 2 days now - help is appreciated. The only way I'm able to install the app file successfully to my device is if I upload it to TestFlight first (which, I can't feasibly do every time I want to test a small change).

Answer 1

Go to File -> Workspace Settings, and make sure your build system is set to Legacy Build System.

I ran into the same issue on Catalina and Xcode 11.2 and this solved it for me.

As of Xcode 11 Apple is starting to enforce some of the build criteria that was previously only required for AppStore builds on .ipa extraction, and device builds.

So far I have encountered:

• Requiring the above legacy build system setting for device deployments for older projects or projects that use older frameworks
• Removing unused architectures to extract an ipa from an archive

Answer 2

For me, it's due to Dynamic Frameworks which I have added in the application. Initially, I have selected (Embed + Don't Sign) option for the dynamic frameworks.

Changing it to (Embed & Sign) for such frameworks resolved the issue for me.
