xcode 5.0.2: code signing operation failed check that the identity you selected is valid

Question

it has been asked alot of times, and i tried all the green mark solutions, nothing helped.

i want to get an ipa file of my project, and i keep getting this error i mentioned at the top.

i tried to delete all the certificates + all my apps id's + devices id's + proviosioning profiles,

basically i've cleaned up all of my developer details from apple developer portal, and than create

everything, clean and built the project, but again, i keep getting this error.

and it happens only in this specific app, in my other apps everything works fine and i can get the

ipa files.

tried this - Codesign error: Provisioning profile cannot be found after deleting expired profile

and that - CodeSign error: code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 6.1'

and ofcourse checked that my bundle identifier in my project is the same as the AppID in the portal.

thanks for the help

Answer 1

Fixed it!

apparently there is a problem in the filename.xcodeproj file when trying to edit a project which was

built on xcode 4, in xcode 5.0.2.

so i took the previous version of this file, and replaced it in the new and edited project, and now it's

working and i can get my ipa file.

Answer 2

In case anyone else has this problem, it could also be due to some problematic javscript files

Gruntfile.js, karma-e2e.conf.js, karma.conf.js, and the entire node_modules directory.
