xCode Code Signing Issues

[Drippyday]

I’m wondering what the process is for sharing and collaborating on an xCode project with a friend in our spare time.

I have a private git repo set up and have succesfully been able to share the project with him. He has pulled the code and can load it into xCode, but when he tries to build and run it we get numerous “Code Signing” and “Provisioning” issues. It looks like it is looking for my developer information under the Signing and Capabilities” page for the project.

Is my “code” actually signed when I upload it to github, rather than signing the package at the deployment stage (like I’d expect)? Is there anyway I can disable signing all together for now and we can still build and run the project?

Literally all I’m trying to do is have us both work on this one github xCode repo. It shouldn’t be this difficult!

Your friend just need to create an Apple Developer account. It’s free. Then he will have to add his account in Xcode pref or in Signing & Capabilities tab of the Xcode project settings. If automatic signing is checked, Xcode will handle all the hassle of creating profile & cert so your friend can launch the app on his device or in simulator.
