including a folder named "resources" in the project causes this error. After renaming my "resources" folder, the error went away.

 

What I found was that having a folder named "resources" in the application bundle will cause code sign to fail. This seems to be an undocumented consequence of some implementation detail of iOS apps or code signing, I think. An empty project with just a resources folder with one random file in it reproduced the issue.

I couldn't easily rename the folder with our shared codebase so my solution was to put my "resources" folder in a parent folder with a different name, and adjust the way our resource path was built.

 

1. Find "resource" folder in your project. and rename it

2. Product -> Clean Build Folder

3. Product -> Build
