Ok, I can’t get even a trivial, from-scratch application to code-sign. Here’s what I did:

1. Launch XCode 3.2.3 on MacOS 10.6.3.
2. File / New Project
   • iPhone OS Application
   • OpenGL ES Application
3. Save As: DaliClockTest
4. Build succeeds.

5. Set “Active Configuration” to “Release”.
6. Add a 72×72 icon to the project (“DaliClockPhone72.png”)
7. Edit “DaliClockTest-Info.plist”:
   • Set CFBundleIdentifier to org.jwz.iDaliClock
   • Set CFBundleIconFile to DaliClockPhone72.png
8. Get Info on Target “DaliClockTest”
   • Set “Code Signing Identity / Any iPhone OS Device” to “iPhone Distribution”
     (currently matches “iPhone Distribution: Jamie Zawinski”)
9. Build. Fails the same old way:
   • Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate. (-19011)

In the Organizer window, Developer Profile lists “iPhone Distribution: Jamie Zawinski”, Issuer “Apple Worldwide Developer Relations”, and Provisioning Profiles lists “Dali Clock Distribution” with App Identifier “8Z7K4K7M89.org.jwz.iDaliClock”. The popup menu for “Code Signing Identity” also shows “iPhone Distribution: Jamie Zawinski” as being a sub-item of “Dali Clock Distribution (for Application Identifiers org.jwz.iDaliClock)”, so it does appear to be seeing all this shit.

Any other ideas?
