In xCode 3.2.3 (haven’t updated to 4.1 yet) under Active Configurations I have: Debug, Release, Distribution. When I select Release, I always get ‘Base SDK Missing’ and when I do a ‘Build and Archive’ and try to ‘Validate Application’, I get a Code Sign Error.
When I select ‘Distribution’ the ‘Validate Application’ succeeds.
I have confirmed that I am using a valid Distribution Provisioning Profile.
So, how can I get my ‘Release’ setting to work (ie. eliminate the Validate Application error of not code signing properly) and what would happen if I sent the ‘Distribution’ build to iTunes and it was accepted on the App Store?
Thank for your time.
Check the Base SDK option under the release configuration in your target build properties. It probably needs to be updated to an SDK you have available.
