How to solve "Application failed codesign verification" when uploading to iTunes Connect?
app-store-connect, iphone-sdk-3.0, provisioning, xcode, xcodebuild
Solution
I found the solution to this problem after deeply looking at the log file.
Although I created my own Distribution Profile and assigned to the CODE SIGNING IDENTITY the correct value for the developer certificate, it didn't work giving me an error: "Application failed codesign verification".
The problem is at the following line:
Authority=iPhone Developer: My Name (XXXXXXXXX)
Despite the correct selection in the project settings for the Distribution profile, XCode was compiling it with the developer certificate.
I finally solved it: Right click on the "Targets" -> Get info -> and there it was selected (don't ask me why) the wrong distribution certificate instead of the right one.
I corrected that and it finally was accepted.

Problem
I've got a problem that I couldn't solve with a deep search in different resources as most of the "similar" points out to be an error with Icon.png size, etc... I've tried to upload my application after verifying that: - Correctly builds and run on my device - That my certificates are installed properly - That my certs / profiles are not expired. - That the Icon.png has the proper size and format of 57x57 PNG. - And several other things. - Ran codesign --verify -vvvv MyApp.app which worked fine. - My ZIP File was properly done When I've tried to upload through the iTunes connect interface I got the simple error above, and that's why I tried with ApplicationLoader, to try and find out what's causing the error looking at the console. The console showed the following: ``` 16/02/10 13:25:52 ApplicationLoader[549] *** Codesign error (please ignore invalid option comments): got requirements(0x800000, 534) Executable=/var/folders/WZ/WZu24JnOGNe9L79GWq0IlU+++TI/-Tmp-/MyApp.zip/MyApp.app/MyApp Identifier=com.realtimed.MyApp Format=bundle with Mach-O thin (armv6) CodeDirectory v=20100 size=829 flags=0x0(none) hashes=33+5 location=embedded Signature size=4333 Authority=iPhone Developer: My Name (XXXXXXXXX) Authority=Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Signed Time=16/02/2010 13:22:24 Info.plist entries=17 Sealed Resources rules=3 files=28 Internal requirements count=1 size=144 Executable=/var/folders/WZ/WZu24JnOGNe9L79GWq0IlU+++TI/-Tmp-/MyApp.zip/MyApp.app/MyApp got entitlements(0x800400, 317) codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: using Apple CA for profile evaluation codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: Caling codesign with the following args: codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: /usr/bin/codesign codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: --verify codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: -vvvv codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: -R=anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.1] exists and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.4] exists codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: --entitlements codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: /var/tmp/signingbox/codesign_wrapper_entitlements.plist codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: /var/folders/WZ/WZu24JnOGNe9L79GWq0IlU+++TI/-Tmp-/MyApp.zip/MyApp.app **/var/folders/WZ/WZu24JnOGNe9L79GWq0IlU+++TI/-Tmp-/MyApp.zip/MyApp.app: valid on disk /var/folders/WZ/WZu24JnOGNe9L79GWq0IlU+++TI/-Tmp-/MyApp.zip/MyApp.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement test-requirement: failed to satisfy code requirement(s) codesign_wrapper-0.7.3: failed to execute codesign(1)** ``` Any help / feedback or ideas on how to solve the situation would be highly appreciated.
