Answer 1

The problem is in the Cordova settings.

Note this:

iPhone Distribution has been manually specified

This didn’t make any sense to me, since I had set the project to auto sign in xcode. Like you, the check and uncheck didn’t work. But then I read the last file path given and followed it. The file path is APP > Platforms > ios > Cordova > build-release.xconfig

And in the file, iPhone Distribution is explicitly set for CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY.

Change:

CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Distribution
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Distribution

To:

CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Developer
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*] = iPhone Developer

It a simple thing, and the error message does make it clear that iPhone Distribution has been manually specified, but it doesn’t really say where unless you follow the path. I looked and fiddled with xcode for about three hours trying to figure this out. Hopes this helps anyone in the future.

Answer 2

If you get this error

App has conflicting provisioning settings. App is automatically signed, but provisioning profile 'ID' has been manually specified. Set the provisioning profile value to "Automatic" in the build settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the project editor.

then make sure that you have empty PROVISIONING_PROFILE option in Target Build Settings:

For me, I had dragged the dump_syms binary and a bunch of scripts into my build target when I manually installed the Firebase SDK. Removing those from my target and project solved the issue.

Answer 4

I had this same issue. I realized that it was because I was using xcode while I was using it. Since the updates didn't install correctly, it caused these errors to show up. The only thing that fixed it was to quit xcode and reopen it. When I reopened it, it prompted me to install updates. After the updates were installed, the errors went away.

Answer 5

If you are from Ionic world. You might get a "conflict code signing" error when you in the "archive" stage, as below:

... is automatically signed for development, but a conflicting code signing identity iPhone Distribution has been manually specified. Set the code signing identity value to "iPhone Developer" in the build settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the project editor. Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.x'

In this case, please go to Build Settings/under signing, code signing identity, and select both as iOS Developer, not Distribution.

Go to the menu: Product/Archive again, then the issue will be fixed.
