Fix the iOS code signing issue when using Jenkins


This week I setup the Jenkins on my Mac and try to build iOS applications. unfortunately I got the code signing issues, either I use xcode plugin or xcode command line tool. Through a couple days of googling and I could not find any solution that works for me, but I finally solve this issue by myself through different try out, and the solution is such an easy, now I would like to share with my solution.

The core reason is Jenkins is running as daemon mode in Mac, just assume it is a different user - "Jenkins", so it will not have access to the keychain or provision profile as a you login using your credentials, which cause the code signing issue.
I found I have following 2 errors

1. "Code Sign error: There are no valid certificate/private key pairs in the default keychain"
Solution: Copy your iPhone developer certificate from "login" keychain to "System" keychain.
Detailed steps:
  open the "Keychain Access" application, click the login tab, right click the certificate like "iPhone Developer: your_name (XXXXXXX)", choose copy, then click the "System" tab, right click mouse, choose "Paste 2 items"; you might need to do the same thing with the certificate like "iPhone Distribution: your_name".

After doing this, you will get the second error.
2. "Code Sign error: Provisioning profile 'xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx' can't be found"
Solution: Copy the provision profile to Jenkins user folder.
The provision profile is under in the folder
/YourUserName/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles,
for example in my machine, the provision profile files are under /Users/steve/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
In the mac, the Jenkins will be in /Users/Shared/Jenkins, create the following folder:
/Users/Shared/Jenkins/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profile,  then copy the .mobileprovision file to this folder.

After doing this, the code signing issues will be fixed. Hope my finding will be helpful to other Jenkins users.

  2. Typo in the last folder: create /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles and *NOT* /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profile

    Notice the s at the end.

    Amazing how a ~4 year old post continues to prove so useful.
    Any thoughts on why different slaves can behave differently, with apparently the same configurations?

  17. These steps are not helping me as well getting the following error still --- Need help

    No profile matching 'XXXXXXXXX' found: Xcode couldn't find a profile matching 'XXXXXXXXX'. Install the profile (by dragging and dropping it onto Xcode's dock item) or select a different one in the General tab of the target editor.

  19. With reference to point 2 ) In the mac, the Jenkins will be in /Users/Shared/Jenkins, create the following folder:
    /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profile, then copy the .mobileprovision file to this folder.

    In my case I have /Users/Jenkins/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning .....so should I move profile to ../Shared/..

  24. Hi,

    Thanks for this saved my time. But now I am getting:

    Signing certificate is invalid. Signing certificate "iPhone Developer:----", serial number "----", is not valid for code signing. It may have been revoked or expired.

    although it is valid as I can create build in xcode using the same
