Unable to publish .NET MAUI iOS application – "No iOS signing identities match the specified provisioning profile"

Hello @Suhas MR !

Thank you for reaching out in this platform!

The error you are seeing usually means the provisioning profile you selected does not align with any valid signing certificate in your Mac’s Keychain. Even if the certificate appears in security find-identity, the build system won’t proceed unless the App ID, provisioning profile, and certificate all match.

Steps to Resolve

1. Verify Bundle Identifier ↔ App ID Please open your Info.plist and confirm the CFBundleIdentifier matches the App ID in the Apple Developer portal. Example:

      <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
      <string>com.yourcompany.edupay</string>
   

   Ensure the App ID has the correct capabilities (Push, Keychain, etc.) enabled.
2. Confirm Certificate and Profile Pairing
   • In Keychain Access, please check that you have:
     • Apple Development: … for development builds, or
     • Apple Distribution: … for App Store/Ad Hoc builds.
   • In the Apple Developer portal, open your provisioning profile and verify:
     • The type matches your build (Development vs Distribution).
     • The profile includes the exact certificate you see in Keychain.
   • Then redownload the .mobileprovision file and copy it to:

      ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
   

   In Xcode → Preferences > Accounts, refresh profiles.
3. Configure Manual Signing in MAUI Instead of relying on automatic signing, you can explicitly set the signing identity and profile. Example in your .csproj:

      <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='Release' And '$(Platform)'=='iPhone'">
      <CodesignKey>Apple Distribution: Your Company (ABCDEFGHIJ)</CodesignKey>
      <CodesignProvision>12345678-ABCD-EF12-3456-ABCDEF123456</CodesignProvision>
      <EntitlementsFile>Entitlements.plist</EntitlementsFile>
      </PropertyGroup>
   

• CodesignKey = the certificate name as shown in Keychain.
• CodesignProvision = the UUID of the provisioning profile (visible in the .mobileprovision filename or Xcode).

5. Validate with Xcode (if issues persist)

• List valid identities:

     security find-identity -v -p codesigning
     Inspect the provisioning profile:
  

     security cms -D -i ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/UUID.mobileprovision
  

• Then confirm:
  • TeamIdentifier matches your certificate’s Team ID.
  • application-identifier = TEAMID.com.yourcompany.edupay.
  If still failing, you can open the generated Xcode project and try Product > Archive to see detailed signing errors.

I hope this helps! Let me know if the issue still persists! I would be happy to help!

When you encounter the error "No iOS signing identities match the specified provisioning profile", it indicates a mismatch between your provisioning profile and the signing identities on your machine. This issue often arises during app development in Xcode or Visual Studio.

This problem is generally caused by the following reasons:

1. Ensure Matching Bundle Identifier

Ensure that the Bundle Identifier in your Info.plist matches the App ID in the Apple Developer portal.

Example:

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.example.app</string>

2. Verify Certificates and Provisioning Profiles

Make sure that the certificates and provisioning profiles are correctly installed on your Mac. Export the certificate as a .p12 file from Keychain Access and import it into Visual Studio if you are using it.

Example:

# Export certificate as .p12 file

3. Manual Provisioning in Visual Studio

If you are using Visual Studio, set the iOS Bundle Signing to manual and select the appropriate signing identity and provisioning profile.

4. Refresh Provisioning Profiles

Sometimes, refreshing or re-downloading provisioning profiles can resolve the issue. In Visual Studio, reconnect to your Mac host and refresh the profiles
