XCode code siging error XCTest

Question

When I try to run my application on a simulator, everything works fine. But when I try to build it to test it on a real device, I get the following error:

CodeSign /Users/fvoordeckers/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-##########/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyProject.xctest
cd /Users/fvoordeckers/Documents/Projecten/MyProject/iOS
export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate
export PATH="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

Signing Identity:     "iPhone Developer: Frederik (########)"

/usr/bin/codesign --force --sign ##################/Users/fvoordeckers/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-##########/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyProject.xctest

/Users/fvoordeckers/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-##########/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyProject.xctest: bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable

Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1

I've changed IDs with #. I created a provisioning profile that includes the device I'm using and al the required certificates. It doesn't seem to have a problem with the app but with the xctest... I also tried adding the '--deep' flag to the signing configuration but it didn't help...

Did you change your build settings at the project level, at the app target level or at the test target level ? — , Mar 20 '15 at 09:43

Go to Edit Scheme in xcode -> In Build Target -> Remove MyProject.xctest completely or uncheck all the boxes of MyProject.xctest Analyze , Test etc..

Clean your project and then Run on the device.

if I don't have **`MyProject.xctest`** but still getting the same error ? – el.severo Sep 23 '15 at 08:25
Can you explain why this is? – Jack James Oct 25 '16 at 10:50
Thanks – I can confirm that, if you neglect to clean the build, then even if you untick various boxes, this error will still persist. Cleaning the build gets you past the error. – Jamie Birch May 08 '20 at 12:04

I had the very same issue and nothing helped (updating the schemes, changing the provisioning profiles or code signing identity, etc.) except updating Xcode to its latest beta version: Xcode 7.3 Beta 4.

I guess Apple did some major improvements in this new version :)
