Code sign errors when using Xcode 3.2.3 OS 4.0 Beta 4 and Xcode 3.2.2

May 19, 2010 0

Thought some developers might like to know how I solved this problem.  Our particular scenario is as follows:

  1. Installed Xcode 3.2.3 OS 4.0 Beta 4 over the top of Xcode 3.2.2 (mistake)
  2. Reinstalled Xcode 3.2.2 over the top of Xcode 3.2.3 OS 4.0 Beta 4
  3. Installed Xcode 3.2.3 OS 4.0 Beta 4 in a seperate directory
  4. Opened Dapp project using Xcode 3.2.3 Beta to fix bug (mistake)
  5. Opened project in Xcode 3.2.2 to build for distribution and had constant code-sign errors

Closest way to explain it would be that it seems like by opening and editing/saving/building the project in Xcode 3.2.3, changes were made to the project structure which is what caused the code-sign errors.  This could have been avoided if i had just copied the project and worked in Xcode 3.2.3 using a seperate copy.

FIX

  1. Create a new project in Xcode 3.2.2
  2. Copy over all project code files and resources
  3. Link up everything (basically make sure everything is the same as the original)
  4. Distribute!  No code-sign error. :)
