Entitlements are not valid

Question

Answer 1

Code signing entitlements are no longer necessary for Ad Hoc builds in Xcode 4 - see details notes in Apple Technical Note TN2250

Answer 2

You also need to make sure that you have an unexpired provisioning profile, which foiled me on this one for a while (Ad Hoc provisioning profiles seem to expire after a year). Error message is the same, but it has nothing to do with not having a valid Entitlements.plist file.

Answer 3

This happened to me as well, and the other answers did not solve it for me.

After spending half a day building, installing, cleaning, clicking to no avail - I finally erased Entitlements.plist from the box under Code Signing Entitlements, saved, and typed it in again - voila! It worked again! I never touched the actual Entitlements file, just the setting.

Answer 4

I got bit by this as well and found the answer in Ad-Hoc Apps and Entitlements.

You may need to make sure the path to your Entitlements.plist file is entered in your project settings under "Code Signing Entitlements".

Answer 5

make shure to select the Signing Identity in the TARGETS ;)

Answer 6

I just found another circumstance that causes this problem. You have to make sure you include the correct provisioning profile. I have an application that has both an iPhone and an iPod version, and an iPad version built from the same project. I apparently sent out the iPad ad hoc profile with the iPad version of the application, and it doesn't work. Worse, I installed the correct profile locally with Xcode, so everything works correctly on my machine.
