I can not test my App on my device anymore

Question

I updated my Xcode 8 to Xcode 8.2 to make it work with iOS 10.2, but now when I try to run my app on my device, I get the following error:

`The executable was signed with invalid entitlements.

The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file are invalid, not permitted, or do not match those specified in your provisioning profile. (0xE8008016).`

I have spent hours on this, but haven't really found any solution.

Answer 1

Has your Apple Developer Program membership expired? If so, that would disable some entitlements. For example, you cannot send push notifications without a valid Developer Program membership, among other capabilities like CloudKit and Apple Pay.

I used to know of a table on the Apple Developer site which listed the differences, but I can't find it now. If I track it down, I'll edit with a link.

Other than that, you'd probably also want to try signing out and signing back in under Preferences > Accounts. Perhaps something odd just randomly happened with the provisioning profile.
