Question

Xamarin iOS codesign failed with exit code 1 error after upgrading XCode to 13.2.1

Knot 6

Summary

After upgrading XCode to version 13.2 (and 13.2.1 shortly after) the build of our Xamarin.Forms application fails with the following error while trying to build the iOS application:

2&gt;C:\Users\me\.nuget\packages\xamarin.ios.swiftruntimesupport\0.2.0\buildTransitive\Xamarin.iOS.SwiftRuntimeSupport.targets(19,9): error : Couldn&#39;t codesign bin/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/KnotApp.iOS.app/Frameworks/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator15.2.sdk/../../../../../Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-5.0/iphonesimulator/libswiftPhotos.dylib: codesign failed with exit code 1

After searching for quite some time and trying multiple things I'm asking here for any solutions you may have.

Details

Occurs on a real iPhone or on the iPhone simulator
The error occurs when trying to build from the windows computer connected to our mac or when building from our CI pipeline, which runs on the mac.
Building directly from Visual Studio for Mac works.
Provisionning profile and certificates are visible and valid in Visual Studio under Tools>Options>Xamarin>Apple Accounts>Details

Command used to build in our CI pipeline (gitlab-ci running in shell mode on the same Mac used for building the app from windows)

msbuild KnotApp.sln -v:n -t:Clean -p:Platform=iPhone -p:Configuration=Debug
msbuild KnotApp.sln -v:n -t:Build -p:Platform=iPhone -p:Configuration=Debug

Which return a nearly identical error:

What was tried

Rebooting all devices
Generating new Apple developper certificate and provisionning profiles
Downgrading XCode (build works, but Apple reject the build as its not from the latest XCode version)
Uninstall and reinstall XCode and Visual Studio (on both the windows computer and the mac)
Locking and unlocking the keychain
Using preview version of Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac

Hi @Knot . VS update contains the support for XCode 13.2, it may be related to the update. I suggest you report it to developer community: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/report?space=8&entry=problem, and the product team will evaluate them seriously. I will also report this issue by internal ways, thanks for your report and collaboration.

Any news about this ? We are stuck on Xcode 13.1 because of this issue

You could refer to https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Xamarin-iOS-codesign-failed-with-exit-co/1631600?space=8&entry=problem&q=codesign+failed&sort=newest&page=8, it seems to be caused by SwiftRuntimeSupport NuGet package and there is a workaround at GitHub:https://github.com/xamarin/XamarinComponents/pull/1311.

Hi,
I resolved in this way.
open Xamarin.iOS.SwiftRuntimeSupport.targets in ....nuget\packages\xamarin.ios.swiftruntimesupport\0.2.0\buildTransitive
Search this text and change 5.0 to 5.5

<Message Text="Copying Swift Frameworks dependencies for $(_NativeExecutable) to the $(_AppBundlePath)Frameworks folder." />
