I have Xcode 8 installed on OS X El Capitan.

I get this error:

Signing for "target" requires a development team. Select a development team in the project editor.

Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.0'

You need to go to the General tab and select a Team. – Gulp 16/9, 2016 at 5:23

This should (surprise) happen to people the have been using "Run" (simulator) successfully, but not when they want to "Archive". Can you confirm the command that triggered this error? – Hospitium 10/1, 2019 at 18:38

Add your Apple ID in Xcode Preferences > Accounts > Add Apple ID:

Enable signing to Automatically && Select Team that you have created before:

Change the Bundle Identifier:

Code Signing to iOS Developer:

Provision profile to Automatic:

You can now run your project on a device!

Where is the enable automatic sigin? That I don't see in xcode 8 – Upraise 26/2, 2017 at 2:1

Select Target and then select General. You can see Automatic signin :) – Intelligentsia 2/3, 2017 at 5:19

It is not explained where many of these options are beyond the first step which is why this answer is not useful for me. Also where is Target? Can you please give step-by-steps? – Girish 21/12, 2017 at 10:6

Configuring Xcode to just run your project s***s on so many levels. There is absolutely no need to be that complicated. – Alderson 1/9, 2018 at 14:23

For those confused how to get to the signing page, you double click the top file in your file explorer, that opens the project settings where you can select the bundle name and signing – Aceldama 24/4, 2019 at 2:45

you guys need to know that have people who come here without ANY base, help them (me including) with a step by step please – Bikol 24/6, 2019 at 17:19

Note: in more recent versions of XCode, that option for automatically manage signing would be in the "Signing & Capabilities" tab. – – Buckner 24/11, 2020 at 12:2

To add developer account to Xcode:

Press Cmd ⌘ + , (comma)
Go to Accounts tab
Follow the screen shot below to enable development team:

At least in some cases, it might also be necessary to trust your Developer Profile on the mobile device. If you see the "Untrusted Developer" error dialog on the mobile device, see this Q&A.

you not need developer account for testing. apple id is enough with latest xcode. You can test your app in devices by your apple id only! – Trysail 16/9, 2016 at 10:36

I did tried many times by adding and deleting the accounts in xcode but still not able to get through the above error. Automatic signing is enabled and some other team is selected instead of actual APP ID. – Durman 27/9, 2016 at 7:17

What does "You can set it from general" mean. Who's the general, where does he live, and what army? Need more context please. – Hogg 29/12, 2016 at 1:11

In case you are still having this problem, click on the Tests and select a team for them too.

Leukocyte answered 13/5, 2017 at 10:17 Comment(4)

and sub-project also! – Montevideo 20/4, 2018 at 3:52

where can I click on "Tests" ? – Zoster 5/3, 2019 at 18:48

I already had the team selected long ago, but now that I started making the tests, they have this problem. Neither clicking on the top-level test "folders" or the test code files themselves brings up anyplace where I could select the development team for them. This is Xcode 10.2. – Forgotten 13/4, 2019 at 16:11

On Xcode 11.3, under the project file there are tabs for General, Signing, etc. To the left of those nav buttons there should be your project's name in a dropdown. That is the target, click the dropdown to select a different target, e.g., the tests and from there you can select the signing. – Osmic 1/1, 2020 at 19:12

To run your app on a real device, you need to have an Apple ID, and have registered your device with that ID. That is why you are getting this error.

Here's how you do it.

Go to the project Navigator. Cmd-1 if you can't find it.
Click the project target dropdown and pick Target.
Click on the Team dropdown and pick add an account.
Sign in with your Apple ID that is linked to your developer account, or just your Apple if you don't have a dev account.
If you haven't registered your device with that account yet, a button will appear, something like 'Register device'. Click that and Apple will register the device and do the certificates and code signing. (Oh my unicorns certificates and signing is so much easier than it used to be)

Pick your physical device and hit run and it should load onto your device without error.

Great job answering this question, and I love the screenshots. Thanks! Cool that you don't have to pay $99 to run any more. – Disassemble 19/9, 2017 at 15:49

Well, after I did all those things I still got the errors so I closed Xcode and opened it up again and then it worked.

Haha, don't know why, but that solved it for me, too! – Threatt 5/2, 2019 at 23:8

same here. So follow the steps up then close Xcode and reopen it again – Acheron 19/2, 2019 at 19:29

Same here. Follow the steps on the approved answer then if it doesn't work close xCode then open the workspace again then the job is done. LOL – Marrufo 8/4, 2019 at 3:18

A disappointingly robust solution to all Xcode code signing problems for the past few years :/ – Kiethkiev 26/6, 2019 at 14:5

Make sure you add the team on both Debug and Release tabs.

For those that are going to come here after me, if it's Xcode 11 and iOS 13 then your layout might look a little different than what you see in the main answer to this question.

Firstly, do this as it was mentioned in the answer: Add your Apple ID in Xcode Preferences > Accounts > Add Apple ID.

Then click on the project name which is located in the left panel. Then you'll get a window of settings. Then look for "Signing & Capabilities" and that's where you'll be able to see "Team" and select your name as the option.

Recently had the issue on Xcode 11 beta 2:

Select your project on the left side panel
Find the "Signing & Capabilities" tab for your target

If your target doesn't have the "Signing & Capabilities" tab (in my case only the test target had it), open the build settings for your project and click "All" instead of "Basic"/"Customised". Find signing under the settings and make sure you've got a Development team set up.

Repeat the same step for your test target if needed

If you need to disable the team for now, as you don't have a development account, just change the target at the top menu to iPhone instead of a generic iOS device or real device.

Select team in the general settings of the target

For those using Ionic and receiving this error - you need to open your $project_dir/platform/ios/$project_name.xcodeproj - then follow the steps listed in the "answer"

Yep, someone must have updated it. Definitely was not when I made the comment :) Thanks for the headsup – Ecdysiast 14/5, 2021 at 20:49

Select the development team in both project and target. For the rest, set to "automatic" and then it will work.

I had this error on my React Native project, weirdly enough I thought I was NOT editing the correct .xcodeproj file! I went into my project directory './appname/ios' and opened the project file and edited my team name into the project and it started working.

Provo answered 10/1, 2019 at 18:15 Comment(1)

Glad that worked for you. As a relatively new Xcode user, I do feel compelled to mention that this is the type of change best done in Xcode GUI, when possible, AFAIK. – Hospitium 10/1, 2019 at 18:40

Go to the bar where you have file, edit, view etc Go on view -> Navigators -> Show Project Navigator -> Click on team -> Select yours.

Enjoy 😁

selecting a team worked for me. but I had to do it for all of the imported libraries even though I didn't own them.

Downgrading the iOS development Target from 12.1 to 12 fix the issue for me as I don't have a dev team configured.
