Xcode has conflicting provisioning settings

Question

I have an Ionic 2 app, which builds and is testable in Xcode 8.2.1 Simulator environment, e.g. iPhone7 (Build Successful).

When I try Archive the app to create an ipa file to set on a device, I follow these instructions. But Product -> Archive is greyed out. So I change the active scheme to Generic iOS Device.

But then when I click Product -> Archive, I get Build Failed.

theWhoZoo has conflicting provisioning settings. theWhoZoo is automatically signed for development, but a conflicting code signing identity iPhone Distribution has been manually specified. Set the code signing identity value to "iPhone Developer" in the build settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the project editor. Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.2'

If anyone could advise how I can fix this to build an Archive, I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

This worked perfectly for me. Give a try :)

Step 1:

Select the Project Target-- > Build Settings. Search PROVISIONING_PROFILE and delete whatever nonsense is there.

Step 2:

Uncheck "Automatically manage signing", then check it again and reselect the Team. Xcode then fix whatever was causing the issue on its own.

Answer 2

The problem is in Code Signing Identity. This is a new problem that showed up on the latest release of Xcode. Go to Code Signing Identity, then add other and type in "iPhone Developer" as shown in the error message and save then this will display.

If this does not work show me your General signing. and your Code Signing Identity from both your Project and your Targets

The problem is in Code Signing Identity. This is a new problem that showed up on the latest release of Xcode. Go to Code Signing Identity, make all IOS Developer rather that IOS distribution.
