Help Please ... My application development has completely stopped.
I mistakenly clicked "DENY" button when prompted to enter my password for loading my application on to my iPhone and now I can no longer load my application on "any" iPhones I have available for testing. Clicking the RUN button in XCode, "immediately" results in Build Failed and then clicking on the little RED error circle indicates the following:
"Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code"
Typically, I would do the following to successfully load my application on my iPhone for testing:
- Attach my iPhone via USB cable to my MacBook Air
- Select my iPhone from the dropdown box (instead of a simulator)
- Click RUN
- Enter my Macbook Air password to allow the application to be loaded on to my iPhone
- Application starts on my iPhone and can be used with XCode for debugging
I googled around for this error and see it has something to do with Mac KeyChain and certificates. I am "not" a Mac user at all so going in and messing with certificates makes me very nervous. I am afraid I will really mess something up and then not be able to develop my application anymore.
Since I clicked DENY, I am assuming this is blocking all iPhones from being loaded. How do I ALLOW again so XCode will start prompting me to enter my password again and allow my iPhones to be loaded and used for testing once again
Compiling and running using a specific Xcode simulator is still working, however, I need real iPhone to continue testing my app at this point
I tried "Product/Clean Build Folder" but this still did not allow me to load my real iPhone.
In "KeyChain Access" I do/see the following:
- Select Login (Key Chains)
- Select Keys (Category)
- I see "Apple Development - <my Name> (private key)" listed
- Clicking the little "expand arrow" icon I can see the following associated certificate:
Apple Development - <my Name> (Cert ##) (certificate)
After right-clicking the "(private key)" entry, selecting "Get Info" then "Access Control", I see the following option set:
Allow all appplications to access this item
After right-clicking the "(certificate)" entry, selecting "Get Info" and expanding the "Trust" section, I see the following option set:
When using this certificate = Use System Defaults
Thanks for the reply Claude !
After 3 hours of searching/reading I was able to find a Google posting which had the right answer for me:
I solved my issue with these steps:
- Open keychain access.
- Right-click the 'login' keychain and request to "Lock" it
- Right-click the 'login' keychain and request to "Unlock" it (enter your PC account password)
- In XCode, clean the project by selecting Product/Clean Build Folder option
- Select your attached iPhone in Xcode and Build the project
- Enter your PC account password everytime you are prompted (I was prompted 5 separate times)
