Question

I’ve created an ad hoc distribution build for my iPhone app using Xcode 4.1. The target successfully builds and produces an archive file that I can see in Organizer. I then click ‘Share’ which allows me to select .ipa and my distribution profile. However, after i hit ‘Next’ the Organizer crashes with the error below. The error log appears to suggest that the error is related to the ‘ResourceRules.plist’? I’m using CorePlot for graphing, might it be related to that?

For info, I have a valid distribution certificate and imported a distribution provisioning profile. Entitlements file is not needed anymore for ad hoc distribution apparently so I don’t have one in the project. All of my other apps don’t crash at the ‘sharing’ stage, so it doesn’t appear to be a problem with Xcode, just this particular app.

Any help much appreciated.

Answer 1

Had the same problem today..
The “Code Signing Resource Rules Path” was missing in the PROJECT – Build Settings

…
Opened the “Build Settings” tab of your project.
Searched “Code Signing Resource Rules Path”, it was empty for me
and added
$(SDKROOT)/ResourceRules.plist
