*****Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer: XXXXXXXXXX' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain**.***

I am a member in developer profile, I have the provisioning profile installed, what must be the problem here?

Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer: XXXXXXXXXXXX' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain

What am I supposed to do? I already searched for a solution but still didn't find any.

This error suggests that there is a problem with either your certificate or your private key.

If you open Keychain Access (in Applications/Utilities), do you see 'iPhone Developer: XXXXXXXXXX' in your certificates? If not, you need to download it from the Program Portal.

When you created the certificate 'iPhone Developer: XXXXXXXXXX', did you generate a certificate signing request on the same computer that you are now using to compile? If not, the private key that goes with your certificate may not be installed on the computer; whoever generated the signing request will need to send it to you, and you will need to add it to your keychain.

  • i need the .p12 and .cert certificate that matches with the provisioning profile... again one more thing is it necessary to change bundle identity with the identity in provisioning profile... thanx for help i will try it out thatx for replying in such a short time.. – abhiTouchmagic Mar 16 '10 at 09:16
  • For distribution, you do need to set the Bundle Identifier in your Target Info to match the App ID in the provisioning profile. That's step 6 under "Building your Application with Xcode for Distribution" in these instructions: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/distribution/index.action. I don't think you need to do that for development builds, though. – Tom Mar 17 '10 at 06:09
  • I went to Keychain Access and I found that my certificate expired. Got the new one and problem resolved. – RyanG May 26 '11 at 17:15
  • Downloading `safari_extension.cer` will do the job? – Ava Mar 08 '12 at 21:29

  • Just open a bash.
  • Go into the ProjectName*.xcodeproj* directory
  • And remove every *.mode1v3 and *.pbxuser file

Then start xcode again and you're lucky.

For my case it was like:

  • cd iCodeBrowser/iCodeBrowser.xcodeproj/
  • rm brandontrieb.*
