testing App on device "valid signing identity not found"

Question

I´m currently developing an app for my university. And I´d like to test it on my device. The problem is, my provisioning profile can´t find a valid signing identity. And in TEAMS it says: "Unable to code sign using identities in this team: no valid certificates with private keys found".

I have tried various solutions that I found here, but they didn´t work for me.

My special problem is: I don´t get an Apple developer account, or access too the apple developer website. I got an Apple Certifcate and an Provisioning Profile in an e-mail. I added the Certificate to the keychain and the profile in Xcode. Is it even possible to test it without access to the developer account? And how?

I´d be really grateful for any solution!

Yeah you can I think you either wrong certificate or you are wrong name in info.plist.please see it. — iEinstein, May 22 '13 at 09:43
invoke your certificate and create new certificate after this Create provisioning profile using new certificate for your App and install it provisioning profile and set Properly — Nitin Gohel, May 22 '13 at 09:43
I think You need the private keys that were used to sign the certificate — Buntylm, May 22 '13 at 09:43
check whether your project's bundle identifier and bundle identifier used in the App Id is same or not — manujmv, May 22 '13 at 09:43

You need the private key. If they didn't give you the private key along with the certificate, you can't sign apps. — Mike Weller, May 22 '13 at 10:36

You must have the private key that is generated when you create the development certificate. (This private key is called p12 certificate)

This. It sounds like the OP wasn't given the private key along with the certificate. – Mike Weller May 22 '13 at 10:37
Ok thanks for your help. Just to be certain: I need a 3rd file? a private key? And I add it to keys in the keychain? – Philipp Lechner May 22 '13 at 10:57
Yes you must add the private key to the keychain. Please let me know if the issue still exists. – Nikhila Mohan May 22 '13 at 11:32
Thanks so much for your help. I will ask at my university and post the result here. – Philipp Lechner May 22 '13 at 13:00

To test on your device you need a valid provisioning profile with the related certificate and the iPhone must be provisioned in that provisioning profile

Do you have a new mac? in that case you have to copy the certificate reference from your old mac. I had this problem and it was work with the certificate, check them out in keys
