I have two targets, the main target & an extension target. Now when I'm trying to archive the app, Xcode failed with the following error:

error: Embedded binary is not signed with the same certificate as the parent app. Verify the embedded binary target's code sign settings match the parent app's.

        Embedded Binary Signing Certificate:    - (Ad Hoc Code Signed)
        Parent App Signing Certificate:     iPhone Distribution: ***. (EAA28CVMQM)

So I checked the Build Settings - Code Signing again and again to ensure Embedded binary is signed with the same certificate as the parent app,

enter image description here

enter image description here

Or settings like below :

enter image description here

They all failed into the same reason. No matter how I change the Code Signing settings, the Embedded Binary Signing Certificate is always (Ad Hoc Code Signed).

Before this post, I've read these links:

Xcode6:Embedded binary is not signed with the same certificate as the parent app

Embedded binary is not signed with the same certificate as the parent app yet they are identical

Thanks for any help.

Believe it or not!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority, if I choose always trust, Xcode archives failed. When I changed to system defaults, Xcode archives successfully.

Bloody h...

It's the Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority issues. Here How to solve error step by step

  • Open Keychain Access
  • Select your certificate
  • Right click on certificate and click Get Info
  • Where you find option trust - When Using Certificate - Select Use System Defaults

I had this problem when building for iOS Simulator (for device everything was OK). This has helped me, while none of SO answers did:

The problem had nothing to do with the signing. The answer for me was to paste $(ARCHS_STANDARD) into the project valid architecture field. Incredible!

I had the same issue while working with shared extensions. Even after editing the AWDRC certificate I kept on getting the same error on Xcode 7. However once I upgraded to Xcode 7.2 the problem was solved.

For me it was because I had one installation on Computer A and have used Xcode on Computer B and had asked me to revoke the certificate. I didn't know how to re-revoke it on Computer A and have googled stuff for 3 hours until I have tried to quit and reopen Xcode. It has immediately asked me to revoke the certificate and everything is working again.

Xcode is awful.
