  • I have this same error, have you found anything? Seems like a path issue. – Chris Truman Sep 16 '13 at 22:24

    I see you have a space in your Xcode app name. Some scripts have a hard time dealing with spaces, so I would suggest removing it. I don't know if that's what is actually causing the issue though, but it's worth a shot. – BergQuester Sep 17 '13 at 04:50

I copied codesign from /usr/bin/ to: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/u‌​sr/bin

and it worked for me.

Solved my problem, thanks for the help. The issue was with my path. I had set my path via /etc/launchd.conf and I was driving myself insane trying to edit my path via ~/.bashrc etc. Make sure /usr/bin is in the path that xcode picks up.

    Could you please explain how that link worked for you? I'm getting: setenv: command not found – Abdullah Umer Sep 26 '13 at 21:22
  • you can't run setenv in terminal, you need to make sure your path includes codesign. run "which codesign", then make sure your $PATH includes that. – Chris Truman Sep 26 '13 at 21:27
  • here's what i did,, which codesign /usr/bin/codesign Abdullahs-MacBook-Pro:~ abdullahumer$ cat $PATH cat: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin: No such file or directory Abdullahs-MacBook-Pro:~ abdullahumer$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/codesign Abdullahs-MacBook-Pro:~ abdullahumer$ cat $PATH cat: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/codesign: No such file or directory – Abdullah Umer Sep 26 '13 at 21:37
  • Xcode's path is not the same as your terminal path. It could be changed elsewhere. check /etc/launchd.conf and ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist as mentioned in the link – Chris Truman Sep 26 '13 at 21:44

    ok its done now. I copied codesign from /usr/bin/ to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin and it worked for me. – Abdullah Umer Sep 26 '13 at 21:49
  • fixing the path is what you should do – Daij-Djan Sep 26 '13 at 22:17

I'm a newb with cpp so I am sure that this solution won't work for everyone and I am sure there are many reasons not to do this in certain situations.

My solution was to disable signing:

Build settings >> Signing >> Code Signing Identity >> set this to "Don't Code Sign"
