title: Xcode iOS Development signing identity
body: <p>I have a problem getting a iOS Development signing identity into Xcode. I have tried loads of things to get it working but I keep failing.</p>
  
  <p>I have went the automatic way and let Xcode do it all but I kept going in circles where Xcode kept saying:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>No signing identity found. Xcode can request a new iOS Development
    signing identity for you.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Followed by:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Your account already has a valid certificate. If you have your signing
    identity on another Mac, you can import a developer profile. You can
    also revoke the current certificate and request one again.</p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>I have done many steps:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Removing my account from within Xcode's preferences.</li>
  <li>removing everything from the key chain app.</li>
  <li>clearing everything from within the developer member center (apple developer website)
  
  <ul>
  <li>removing all provisioning profiles</li>
  <li>removed my device </li>
  <li>revoked all all my certificates</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>restarted Xcode to perform a 'Clean' project from the Product menu.</li>
  <li>even went into my project.pbxproj file to clear anything related to PROVISIONING_PROFILE</li>
  <li>removed all provisioning profiles from my device.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>After this I went back into Xcode:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>added my account into the preferences section</li>
  <li>clicked View Details</li>
  <li>did a refresh</li>
  <li>Xcode automatically creates two certificates</li>
  <li>Xcode automatically creates provisioning profiles</li>
  <li>Xcode only creates a single Signing Identity: only for iOS Distribution.
  This is my problem: I can not get an iOS Development signing identity.

  </ul>
  
  <p>After not getting it to work I went the old fashion manual way:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>first clearing everything like the above</li>
  <li>created new certificates manually, downloaded them and added them to the key chain app.

  <li>created new provisioning profiles manually, downloaded them and dropped them onto the xcode app icon.

  At the end the result is the same; When I am in Xcode > preferences > accounts > view details: </li>
  <li>I do have a distribution signing identity</li>
  <li>I do NOT have a development signing identity</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When I click the + button under the Signing Identities and choose 'iOS Development' nothing happens.. </p>
  
  <p>I have found lots of posts here on StackOverflow, I tried their suggestions but it won't work for me. Examples of other posts:

  <p>I am working with the latest version of Xcode: 6.2.
  I am working on an app which is already in the App store.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edited:</strong>
  I have also changed the code signing build settings of my project and target into <strong>Don't code sign</strong> and put it back to <strong>iOS Distribution</strong> for ad-hoc and <strong>iOS Development</strong> for Debug.
