For anyone else facing the same issue. After trying and failing everything else, it was fixed by restarting the mac :D

Hold `command` + `option` + `P` +`R` while rebooting, for added "just in case"-ness! – Nicolas Miari Nov 30 '15 at 07:29

restarting or just a log out / log in helps, but why? I do not like to do that several times a day – Thomas Einwaller Feb 05 '16 at 07:43
Well. Today I had the same issue and it worked. Thanks! – Juan de Dios Mar 10 '16 at 13:55

Log out, log back in. Faster than restarting your mac!

If you are not planning to release on AppStore and only creating an ad hoc build for testing, then do the following:

In Xcode 7, Goto Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme From the left menu select "Archive" and Select "Distribution" from the "Build Configuration" drop down.

For me it was the Wi-Fi connection. It seems that Xcode 8 tries to go out to the Internet for signing frameworks / apps and if that connection is really slow it takes a lot of time (for me up to 15 minutes). As soon as I changed the Wi-Fi network it built and ran in under 5 seconds.
