Xcode 13, iOS 15 Issues with signing and expired account, any connection?

Question

So I am trying to run apps on my phone. I do have Xcode 13 and running iOS 15. Not sure how relevant that is.

So when I run the app I get the following errors:

Xcode:

The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to launch app because it has an invalid code signature, inadequate entitlements or its profile has not been explicitly trusted by the user.

iPhone:

Your device management settings do not allow using apps from developer "Apple Developer: Name" on this iPhone. You can allow using these apps in Settings.

So I have gone to Settings -> General -> VPN & Device Management to allow the app but nothing pops up. I have also tried signing in an out of the account on the Mac. I have even uninstalled Xcode and reset the computer. I am not sure what else to do.

I can tell you that my paid developer account has expired. Not sure where to go from here.

Answer 1

I thought it was because my membership expired. However, even after paying and renewing my membership I ran into the same problem. Eventually I was able to fix by:

1. remove my account from xcode
2. delete developer certificates from my keychain
3. add the account again

When I tried to run the app on my phone, I got the same error message. However, this time my developer account appeared in settings > general > VPN & Device Management, and I was able to allow it.

Answer 2

Tried the new Apple ID but Xcode does not allow this with the new developer account as I was unable to generate provisional certificates. Per Apple, this is only for paid subscribers.

It seems from iOS 15 onwards, it is not possible to run apps physically on the iPhone unless you pay the annual subscription. That’s a shame!
