IOS App Build issue: Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code

Question

I am trying to build my IOS app (developed using capacitor and ionic frameworks). Just after integrating Google Firebase and adding Resources/GoogleService-Info.plist file I am having followng error while building my app in XCode.

Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code

CodeSign /Users/piyush/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-cfgpruswvcmgvpcxuzeyccwfgdyx/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/App.app (in target 'App' from project 'App')
    cd /Users/piyush/Downloads/ncsmobileapp/ios/App
    export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE\=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate
    
    Signing Identity:     "-"
    
    /usr/bin/codesign --force --sign - --entitlements /Users/piyush/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-cfgpruswvcmgvpcxuzeyccwfgdyx/Build/Intermediates.noindex/App.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/App.build/App.app.xcent --timestamp\=none --generate-entitlement-der /Users/piyush/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-cfgpruswvcmgvpcxuzeyccwfgdyx/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/App.app

I tried cleaning the build cahce, restarting the xcode. re-building the app through capacitor, but nothig solved this issue yet. Can anyone help in solving this issue?

Update

While archiving the app following error occurs:

Your Signing Identity says `"-"`, which doesn't seem like a valid signing identity. Have you tried figuring out how signing should be setup? — EmilioPelaez, Jan 19 '22 at 18:18

Please try to delete the derived data and clean the build.

Steps to delete derived data:-

1.Open your project,Go to files -> Workspace Settings

Then you will find a derived data location with an arrow:-

Just click on that arrow,after that you will find a folder named derived data, delete all the files inside derived data folder. Then it will working fine.

The issue was due to resources folder. I created that folder to add my GoogleServices-Info.plist file.

I renamed my resources folder and changaed the path to my GoogleServices-Info.pllist file by following code in build phrases of the app in xcode:

PATH_TO_GOOGLE_PLISTS="${PROJECT_DIR}/App/[FOLDER NAME]"

        cp -r "$PATH_TO_GOOGLE_PLISTS/GoogleService-Info.plist" "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app/GoogleService-Info.plist" ;

I fking hate stupid Apple. This problem wasted me a lot of time. After seeing your answer I just renamed the "Resources" folder to a random name and it worked. You know what? That folder was named "Resources" because I was following their official tutorial. – Luo Mar 14 '23 at 22:54

I have the same (random) issue when Archiving project where OneSignal (specifically OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension) framework is included. What I have to do to make it work (w00t) is to change KeyChain Trust setting on Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority (Expires: Tuesday, 7 February 2023 at 22:48:47 Central European ) certificate back to Use System Defaults and then again back to Always Trust. I have no idea why this works, but it works.
