Hi Folks.
I'm in need of some help. I'm trying to submit my App to the App Store. I have it setup in the App Store, it's awaiting upload. When I Archive the App it is successful. But when I validate it, I get an error message saying,
"Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate."
What do I do!?!?!?!?!
When you build the file in xcode you need to make sure you put the right certificate on it.
Step 1
Did you generate a distribution certificate online at Apple for this game?
The problem is that on the XCode-project configuration page you forgot to set the proper profile for your ditribution build.
You will have to select which profile you will use for archive (Debug, Release, Custom Made) and for that profile you will have to indicate that you will be signing it with a specific certficate (being the latter a distribution certificate that you should have previously created and downloaded from iTunes Connect page).
I think this might be the problem. I have set up the game in the App Store, it's status is Ready For Upload. What exactly is this distribution certificate and how do I get it? I've been reading my books, the documention for Apple, and Googling all day long and I'm about to lose my mind! The Apple side is VERY complex, too much so!!Originally Posted by Jeff
One of the first things you have to do is to generate a development certificate by requesting one from Apple then installing it on your Mac.
If you login to the iOS Provisioning Portal, you'll see in the left nav bar the Certificates link. To the right is a tab called Development, Distribution. The instructions are there.
You will need to install it as part of your Keychain Access. If it's done properly, you should see iPhone Distribution: Your Name and iPhone Developer: Your Name in the Keychain Access.
I agree, there were a lot of steps when I installed mine. I had to install another one on my new Mac last year and I remember it took me a while. I dread having to do it again on another machine.
Log in and read the instructions on this page:
https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/distribution/
RIGHT, THAT'S IT!!! AAAGGGHHH!!!!!! I'm after been at this ALL DAY LONG and it's STILL NOT WORKING!!! So I'm packing it in for the night and I'll come back to it another time. IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS DIFFICULT!!!
Hi Paul - sorry to hear you're having problems, I know how frustrating it can be! Perhaps this thread might help.
