For the last 5 or 6 hours I keep trying to package a test build for my iOS game and constantly receive this error (UE 5.1.1)

Really, tried everything in different combinations.

  • I have paid Apple dev account;
  • Certificates, provision profile etc. filled out correctly (tried to recreate like 20 times);
  • Cert and provision are valid in Project settings on the iOS page;
  • Tried different packaging options (Shipping, Development also with Distribution turned on or off);
  • Bundle Name/ID set up correctly;
  • Restarted UE, rebooted Mac;
  • Tried Full rebuild;
  • Deleted Binaries and Build folders;
  • Read forums;

I don’t know what to do next and seeking for some help.

I not an experienced iOS developer but a few months ago I was able to package this project using UE 4.27.

I didn’t change anything and for some reason it started working. The other problem is that the app crashes on the splash screen on the device now.

Hiya, I’ve been having the same issues now for over a week, where before I could build no problem. The only change I made since was update Xcode to the latest version.

I would love to know if you can remember anything you changed?

I have the exact same error

Thx for any help

Hi, I still have this problem sometimes and removing the Binaries folder before building the project helps me.

Awesome thx will try that… what version of Xcode are you using by chance? I have 14.3 and UE 5.1.1

I don’t have my mac near me right now, can’t say exact Xcode version, but it’s the latest one + UE 5.1.1 as well.

I give up, I’ve spent hours trying everything as you mentioned, and still end up with

Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code

RunUAT ERROR: AutomationTool was unable to run successfully. Exited with code: 32
PackagingResults: Error: CodeSign Failed
PackagingResults: Error: AutomationTool was unable to run successfully. Exited with code: 32
PackagingResults: Error: Failed to Code Sign

I even tried Distribution to go to TestFlight and still the same issue. I can’t believe how difficult this is, never had this many issues with other programs like FlutterFlow/Unity etc etc.

There has to be a solution… @SupportiveEntity ?

Hey there @tbelgrave! Your summoning ritual was successful but you ended up summoning a windows/linux user. Nevertheless let’s see what we can do.

I’ve been seeing some issues with users working in the latest version of Xcode since it had been the new target, and most commonly from projects that were migrated from UE4.27 up. Code signing is a step in verifying all of the project details, dependencies, and targeting and well signing the code. There should be errors listed in the full log that gives us insight into which portion is failing. May we see the full log?

Morning! Thx as always @SupportiveEntity , please see below. After all this I think it’s the prompt I’m not seeing.

I followed this video to the T (21) How To Package UE5 Apps for Distribution to the Apple App Store - YouTube

I’m curious @Slydex44 ever since I stopped seeing this prompt, my issues started

Ahhh that could very well be it, if there’s a prompt to allow permissions it could be not receiving the request or the permissions could be set to deny through other means.

@SupportiveEntity @Slydex44

This is indeed it! I haven’t got it working in 5.1.1, but installed 5.2 Preview 2 and low and behold the prompt returned and built the package successfully. So we just need a way to reset this behaviour, now sure how to do that tho :frowning:

Seems drastic but maybe a reinstall of 5.1.1?

A note, re-installing 5.1.1 didn’t work.

It’s possible that you had checked always approve but it doesn’t seem to be working correctly there. Is there any location to see where keychain requests have been made?

Hey there @tbelgrave! Another user had solved a similar issue over in this thread:

Hey guys, no solutions worked for me, including many of the xcode ones such as running “xattr -cr .” in the root project folder, the only thing that did work is moving the project outside of an iCloud sync directory.

My project location was: ~/Documents/Unreal Projects/PROJECT_NAME
I moved my project to: ~/Development/Unreal Projects/PROJECT_NAM

The error I got was:

resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed
Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code

Absolutely frustrating issue to deal with, but I believe the hint was in the error, “Finder information not allowed”, I assume iCloud sync was adding Finder information.

So, if your ~/Documents folder is iCloud synced, try moving it. It had nothing to do with my Signing under the project, my Signing & Capabilities looks like so:

Under the ALL tab:

  • Automatically manage signing
  • Team: None
  • Signing Certificate: Sign to Run Locally

Super annoying one to figure out, hope this helps people out.
