iOS Debugging XCode on real device - keychain probs

[martinjm]

Hi, I'm ready to start testing my app on the real thing 😀 but get

'Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid, non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains' in Xcode.

I'm sure this is common and easy to fix, but haven't found anything that makes sense yet! The iPad is running iOS6 and Xcode 4.5

Do I need to have a common key on both devices? Or something else?

I'm an Apple newb, so all this is a bit new to me 😱

Cheers,

Martin.

There's these

OK, seems I missed the bit about needing a certificate! I think I've found how to get one of those so will have another go tomorrow when there's an iPad in the office.

Code Sign Error when debugging on device

OK, I've got my certificate and installed it (at least I'm pretty sure I have...).

When I debug on the attached iPad I get

'Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid, non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains'

Which seems to be fairly common, but I haven't found a full answer.

What have I missed (in simple steps please!).

Cheers,

Martin.

Once again, be sure you've checked out Technical Note TN2250: iOS Code Signing Troubleshooting for help.

Wahay!! Got it and have lift off!

'To invoke Provisioning Profile Refresh, open Xcode's "Window" menu > Organizer > Devices tab > "Provisioning Profile" sidebar under Library and click the Refresh button'

was the relevant bit. I was looking under Devices not Library.

Thanks very much, I can head off on my hols tomorrow with a smile 🙂
