Device build fails after upgrading to Xcode 8

Question

Since upgrading to Xcode 8 I cannot run any app on my iPhone. The build fails with error:

error: Task failed with exit 0 signal 11

I can run the apps on the simulators, just not on a device. The full error message:

error: Task failed with exit 0 signal 11 { /usr/bin/codesign '--force' '--sign' '7F49C2A625C8976762BDEA351F8DA88E4F6FED22' '--verbose' '/Users/reshef/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/testXcode-eltpwhxdshmmlygolxcnsroevmoo/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/testXcode.app/Frameworks/libswiftCore.dylib' }

Did you restart the computer? I find it that this is necessary after upgrading Xcode. Things just don't work correctly otherwise. — matt, Oct 08 '16 at 15:10
@JacobReshef have you find a solution yet? am also facing the exact same problem. — Muneef M, Dec 12 '16 at 07:48
No, I gave up. I created a new user account on my iMac. On that user account the device builds succeeds. — Jacob Reshef, Dec 14 '16 at 09:27

Damn Xcode...

After upgrading to High Sierra and Xcode 9, I have spend a lot of time... After combining all the answers here, I solved it in the following way.

Delete the derived data as others said.
Clean the project as others said.
Restart the OS <-- This was the key. Only after a reboot it showed the password popup.
When the popup shows that says xcode wants password to something, type your login password, and DO NOT PRESS ALLOW, but PRESS ALWAYS ALLOW. <- Important!

If I could give you a 50 point bounty I would. I upgraded to Xcode 9.2 yesterday (used 9.2 beta for the last week since I upgrade my iOS 11 devices because of Apple's date issue last weekend) and lost the ability to build only for devices. I found two expired certs - even though the expiration date is in 7 days - regenerated that, deleted the app, cleaned both ways, and *still* had the issue. It was the restart and prompt that cleared things up. Damn Xcode... agreed. – Dec 08 '17 at 16:02

Use automatically manage signing:

Go to Target --> General --> Signing, check the Automatically manage siging.

I checked - unchecked - checked again. The same error and the same build fail. – Jacob Reshef Oct 08 '16 at 18:15

Had the exact same issue. First cleaned the Product then restarted the computer. Worked for me!

I found that by deleting my account under preferences and re-adding it, I can usually solve this problem.

Click the Xcode menu and select Preferences...
Select the Accounts tab.
Select your developer account under "Apple IDs"
Click the "-" button at the bottom to remove it.
Add your developer account back with the "+" button.

In my case,

Close Xcode.
Clean Derived data.
Open Xcode.
Clean Product.
Run your app.

Clean the project and clean the build folder.

Project->Clean

Project-> (hold alt) Clean

I have ran into many issues after upgrading and a full clean has fixed them.

It's Product -> Clean (and Alt - Clean). – Jacob Reshef Oct 08 '16 at 18:18
The problem remains. Build fail on device and Build success on simulator. – Jacob Reshef Oct 08 '16 at 18:20

If you still face this issue and you have upgraded to MacOS Sierra. You can look in the keychain and delete a system key named "1". This solved my problem "Task failed with exit 0 signal 5"

For me this issue was due to expired certificate. I updated my certificate and provisioning profile and issue got solved.
