尝试在iPhone上调试应用程序时收到消息“已添加，修改或删除已签名的资源”

Question

While attempting to debug a build created using the 3.2 SDK on an iPhone device I receive the message "A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted.".

I can clean, rebuild, then install with no error, but if I try to install without cleaning the error shows.

Anyone have an idea as to what might be causing this?

Answer 1

I found a workaround for the bug.

If you delete the .app file in build/Debug-iphoneos/ before building for the device, the app gets installed without errors. And there is a simple way to do that before every build.

Make sure you have selected "Device" in the dropdown overview menu. In XCode go to Project > New target... Then find "Shell Script target" under MacOSX/Other Name it and add it to the current project

Now, in the left navigation panel, under targets, expand your newly created target and double-click on Run Script. In the window that opens replace "# shell script goes here" with "rm -fr build/Debug-iphoneos/*.app" (without the quotes). Now open your main target preferences and under Direct Dependencies add your newly created target. Build and Go! :)

Answer 2

This error occurs when there is a special character in the Product Name . In my case it was a "?"

If you change the Product Name it automatically updates the "Bundle Name" and "Bundle Display Name" so it is often the best choice to rename an app.

If you want to include special characters in the app name you have to manually rename the "Bundle Name" and "Bundle Display Name"

Bundle Name : This is the actual app bundle name in the file system such as "Awesome App.app". It is generally not visible to the user.

Bundle Display Name : This is a short name displayed under the app icon on the device. Since the bundle name would be truncated to "Awes…tion" you have the option to have a shorter name which fits better such as "Awesome App". It should be similar to the App Store name (set in iTunes Connect)

Answer 3

This is pretty clearly a bug in the 3.2 SDK, but I don't want to downgrade. I've found that doing a Clean by pushing Command+Shift+K , then Return is pretty fast before pushing Command+R to build.

Answer 4

Xcode 8, reason of the "A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted." was that target was signed with an enterprise provision profile.

Answer 5

This can have several causes. The fastest way to figure out what is causing it is to go into Xcode, Window menu, Devices, then click the reveal button at the bottom of the pane to show the Console. Now attempt to run. You should see log output that names the specific files it is complaining about.

Most of the solutions previously posted are just artificial ways of getting Xcode to regenerate the contents of the build folder and/or re-sign the files.

In my case, my WatchKit extension was somehow acquiring references to Cocoapods frameworks that were only targeted toward the main app so they got signed during the build, then pruned later (as they were not used). Then on device, iOS complained that they were missing from the .appex folder for the extension. I ended up not needing any pods in the extension so I just removed them all and removed the extension as a target, then did some minor cleanup to remove the pod-related debris left in the build steps. Now everything works perfectly.

Answer 6

(SOLVED) This is a weird one. I tried everything I could find. Eventually I changed the product name from "Unit Tests (device)" to "Device Unit Tests" - removing the brackets. Now everything works. The spaces in it appear to be fine.

Previously on stackoverflow: I've just run into this bug with two static library projects. One builds and tests using the GHUnit test runner on the device without a problem. The other projects will not install and gets this error. That means it's something thats different between these two projects. I've so far tried wiping the build directory, taking spaces out of the executable name, and various clean and builds as suggested here.

I was getting this same error, but intermittently. I tried all the above and it still didn't work. Today I found what was causing it.

The error seems to occur when editing a xib in interface builder. If you try to run while the interface builder is open in xcode it will cause the above error. To solve just close the interface builder editor. ie just select a code file from your project so you are in the Source Editor.

Answer 8

The simplest (and probably most common cause) appears to be rebuilding without any changes.

So the simplest thing to cure it is to make a trivial change to a source file (such as adding a space, then deleting it), and then rebuilding.

If this doesn't work, feel free to try all the other answers here.

For months, I'd get this error without realizing it was due to such a simple cause. I'd usually do a Clean Build to get rid of it.

Answer 9

Same for me, thought it has something to do with multiple targets etc. because I changed a lot there. But it's highly possible that it's a Bug in the 3.2.2 release since I did not test extensively in this sdk version before the massive target changes in my project.

Answer 10

solved my issue!!!

I found out by accident that somehow a space " " found it's way into the Product Name of my app so it was called "First Second.app" instead of "FirstSecond.app". After deleting the space the issue was gone!

I changed it here: right click on target Get Info Build Tab Packaging Section Product Name <- The name here will be used for the bundle (.app) name

Hope this helps, let me know!

Cheers, nils

Answer 11

In my case, it happened when no changes were made. Make a change to any file and run again.

Answer 12

我可以通过更改项目名称来解决。

[project]-[Rename] menu. "phase1 (new)" -> "pahse1"

Answer 13

When I created ipa through terminal using xcodebuild commands, ipa created but while installing it I was getting same error. exportOptionsPlist solved my issue.

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath  projectPath/myapp.xcarchive  -exportPath  projectPath/myApp.ipa  -exportOptionsPlist  ProjectFolder/exportPlist.plist

Answer 14

For me the issue was related to the provisioning profile settings. The clue to this was that debug builds were installing ok, but release builds were not. I wanted to test a release build, so I ran the scheme with that build configuration.

I fixed it by duplicating the Release Configuration, then modifying those fields in the Build Settings to have the same provisioning stuff as if I am debugging it.

(Adding another build configuration will give you headaches if you are using Cocoapods however, then you'll have to modify your Podfile)

I got this error intermittently while installing app using iPhone config utility on Windows7. Following solution works - Go to C:\\Users\\{lanusername}\\AppData\\Local\\Temp and delete app specific folders (eg abc.app) and try installing app again.

Answer 17

I reported this bug on ICU (Windows versions) to Apple in June 2011. With the following workarounds:

The workaround is this ....

Win XP

1) Close ICU

2) Delete the temp folder: c:\\Documents and Settings\\[username]\\Local Settings\\Temp\\[AppName].app

3) Delete the deploy folder: c:\\Documents and Settings\\[username]\\Application Data\\AppleComputer\\MobileDevice

4) Restart ICU. Drag in the App and install normally.

============================

Win 7

1) Close ICU

2) Delete the temp folder: c:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\[AppName].app

3) Delete the deploy folder: c:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Local\\Apple Computer\\MobileDevice\\Applications\\[AppName].app

4) Restart ICU. Drag in the App and install normally.

=========================================================

Answer 18

我只是重建了我的应用，就解决了这个问题。

Answer 19

I'm getting the same thing, when installing on a iPod Touch. I can't link for the simulator (for other reasons), so can't say whether the problem occurs there.

Yes, rebuilding clean or deleting the app from the device allows me to install again. Neither are desirable, iterative solutions!

The minimal "cleaning" I've come across as a work around is manually deleting the Foo.app in the build/Debug-iphoneos directory.

Answer 20

看来这是xcode 3.2.2中的错误： iphonedevsdk

Answer 21

I had the same problem in Xcode 3.2.1 when I put a + in my app name. Specifically the "product name" in the build settings. It is fine to have a + in the bundle name in your Info.plist. The same probably applies to other punctuation characters.

Answer 22

I also faced the same issue. After wasting lot of time I realized that my product name has a special character "?" which cased the problem

Answer 23

Having the DerivedData folder at a network location caused this problem for me.

After trying everything else, I found out my workstation couldn't agree with the University server about what the time was. (It thought everything was always modified). I also had to clean for every rebuild to avoid that frustrating message.

In the end I gave up and built locally, changing Xcode > Preferences > Locations ... feeling altogether pretty dumb for having ever built over the network.

Answer 24

We ran into this issues on XCode_6.3.1. We were building a AppleWatch app, with an extension. We do have a bunch of Pods.. After debugging the issue for almost a bunch of hours, what we found was that there was an issue with the way a file was adde to the project..

It seems like some references to a unused file was sitting in the iPhone App, though it was used in the Watch App.. It turns out that the error XCode was showing was totally useless.

After removing this file and re adding it back to the project the project started working fine & was able to install to the device. To make it even harder to debug the issues, the debug version was installed without an issue, but was unable to install the norman version..

Make sure you add your files to the right target and, look at git history and see if there are lingering fragments that are added to the wrong target.

Answer 25

This is a very general error message indicating something is wrong during the validation process of the code signature. To find out the specific error, you can go to Xcode->Window->Devices and check your device log.

In my case, I have following console spew

Feb 1 18:53:07 iPod-touch installd[40] : 0x1001f8000 -[MICodeSigningVerifier performValidationWithError:]: 192: Failed to verify code signature of : 0xe8008017 (Signed resources have been added, removed, or modified)

Check on this 3rd party framework again, I found an extra CodeResources file under the framework root. Remove that file fixed the problem.

Answer 26

就我而言，退出并重新启动XCode是可行的。
