How to fix the "Invalid Provisioning Profile" when uploading to AppStore through Azure Devops Extension?

I'm implementing continuous integration using Azure Devops and fastlane for an iOS app. It build and create the IPA file, however, when I try to upload the file after successfully creating the package I get this error message: "Invalid Provisioning Profile". This is the only distribution profile used in the app and it's working fine with Xcode, so it's valid. How to fix it?

  • Change the code signing identity to automatic and manual, in both project and target. -Using manual sign in. It's currently in automatic mode.
  • Provisioning profile on build settings inside Xcode, currently in automatic, was changed to Manual and set as 5c0e9419-2a5a-4905-ac99-e680efac07a5. I changed back to automatic.
  • Used only the distribution certificate on the Xcode build. When I try that, there's an error in the build saying it can't find an iOS Development provisioning profile. I'm currently installing both development and distribution certificates on the pipeline build.

Here's is how I setup Azure Devops (Build Pipeline).

- master

pool:
  vmImage: 'macos-latest'

steps:
- task: InstallAppleCertificate@2
  inputs:
    certSecureFile: 'iOSDistributionCertificate.p12'
    certPwd: 'xxxxx'
    keychain: 'temp'

- task: InstallAppleCertificate@2
  inputs:
    certSecureFile: 'iOSDevelopmentCertificate.p12'
    certPwd: 'xxxxx'
    keychain: 'temp'

- task: InstallAppleProvisioningProfile@1
  inputs:
    provisioningProfileLocation: 'secureFiles'
    provProfileSecureFile: '5c0e9419-2a5a-4905-ac99-e680efac07a5.mobileprovision'

- task: InstallAppleProvisioningProfile@1
  inputs:
    provisioningProfileLocation: 'secureFiles'
    provProfileSecureFile: '4e932719-f9bd-4d3e-b4e6-08b35260c632.mobileprovision'

- task: ios-bundle-version@1
  inputs:
    sourcePath: 'BookingApp/info.plist'
    versionCodeOption: 'buildid'
    versionCode: '$(Build.BuildId)'
    versionCodeOffset: '0'
    printFile: true

- task: Xcode@5
  displayName: 'Build the app using Xcode'
  inputs:
    actions: 'build'
    sdk: 'iphoneos12.4'
    configuration: 'Release'
    scheme: 'BookingApp'
    packageApp: true
    xcodeVersion: 10 # Options: 8, 9, 10, default, specifyPath
    signingOption: 'auto'
    useXcpretty: false # Makes it easier to diagnose build failures
    xcWorkspacePath: '**/*.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace'

- task: AppStoreRelease@1
  inputs:
    serviceEndpoint: 'Booking App Connection'
    appType: 'iOS'
    ipaPath: '**/*.ipa'
    releaseTrack: 'TestFlight'
    installFastlane: false

And here's the error message.

It happened to me several times until I decide to create again the profiles and make some changes in my yml file. Here is a full working pipeline:

# Xcode
# Build, test, and archive an Xcode workspace on macOS.
# Add steps that install certificates, test, sign, and distribute an app, save build artifacts, and more:
# https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/devops/pipelines/languages/xcode
# Production
# Note: The certificates annd provisioning profiles path/passwors are stored in Group Variables
