KB321897: MicroStrategy Mobile 10.5 iOS SDK Fails to Upload to App Store with Invalid Provisioning Profile Error

Scenario
The Strategy Mobile iOS SDK project is downloaded and opened in Xcode. Compilation and archiving is a success without any errors being shown, but when attempting to upload the compiled application to the App Store, errors similar to the following are thrown and the upload is rejected:

• ERROR ITMS-90159: "Invalid provisioning profile. The app contains an embedded provisioning profile that is not associated with your account. Please use a provisioning profile associated with Team ID XXXXXXXXX."
• ERROR ITMS-90179: "Invalid Code Signing. The executable 'Payload/Strategy.app/Frameowrks/StrategyMobileSDK.framework/StrategyMobileSDK' must be signed with the certificate that is contained in the provisioning profile."

 
Cause
When the StrategyMobileSDK framework was first compiled, code signing was required and Xcode automatically generated an embedded.mobileprovision file inside the framework.
 
When this framework is used within a project, such as the default Strategy Mobile iOS SDK project, this file shouldbe automatically updated by Xcode when the project is recompiled with a different Apple Developer License.
 
There are two possible causes for this:

1. Xcode was unable to edit or replace this embedded.mobileprovision file inside the framework, during the compilation process, although no errors were shown until an attempt is made to upload the compiled app to the app store.
2. Code Sign On Copy is not checked in the "Embed Frameworks" build phase for the StrategyMobileSDK.framework.

 
Solution
Fixing the embedded.mobileprovision issue:

• Locate the StrategyMobileSDK.framework used by the project, in Finder.
• Within the StrategyMobileSDK.framework, verify whether a file named "embedded.mobileprovision" exists:
  

• Delete or remove the "embedded.mobileprovision" file and proceed to the next step to ensure Xcode recreates it during the next build process.

 
Correcting the "Code Sign on Copy" feature

• Open the Xcode project and click on the project name to view the project targets.
  

• From the left of the project view, select the target being compiled. If both the iPhone and iPad targets are being used, repeat the next steps for both targets.
  

• From the top of the project view, select "Build Phases".
• Navigate to the "Embed Frameworks" build phase, expand it, and ensure that "Code Sign On Copy" is checked.
• Perform a project clean before trying again, via the "Product" menu in the Xcode menubar.
