Did you get this error when use pair to mac?

If so, for self-signed root error, it usually means that the AppleWWDRCA is out of date or missing. please check WWDR. You could open Keychain on your Mac, go to Login->Certificates, then check if there is a certificate named "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate Authority" or if it is missing.
And you can open Apple PKI - Apple, and download Worldwide Developer Relations - G3 (Expiring 02/20/2030 00:00:00 UTC) , then double-click the cer to install into your Mac.

everything is there,

No valid iOS code signing keys found in keychain. You need to request a codesigning certificate from https://developer.apple.com. iOSApp

Its been 2 week I am researching but no luck

For further investigation, could you go to Keychain on your Mac and check if the distribution certificate has expired or was missing?

And you could try to login to the Apple Developer Portal, go to the Certificates, IDs & Profiles section, and go to the Profiles section, then check whether the profile is valid (and go to Certificates section, then check whether the matching certificate is valid, and check whether the matching certificate is in Keychain).

In addition, please let me know if this problem still exists after updating the latest VS. (Please clear the Broker, IDB, Build, and Designer Agents on the Mac and your Windows machine, then restart VS)

And there are also some other questions to confirm:

Do you meet the same error when using VS for Mac?

Do you change a different device for deployment?

What's the detailed iOS version of your physical device?

Hi @Shraddha Chavan , I noticed that you created a same thread, please avoid duplicate questions as noted in How to write a quality question on Microsoft Q&A | Microsoft Learn
From the error "No iOS signing identities match the specified provisioning profile 'patient_Deployment'. iOSApp" you provided, it means the certificate is invalid or the existing certificate doesn't match your profile.

Please login to the Apple Developer Portal, then find the profile you used, and click Edit button to see which certificate is selected. After that, you can turn to VS, go to the Signing Identity page (the screenshot you provided), select that certificate and check if there is a matching profile. (You could try to edit the profile to match all certificates, then download the certificates and profiles with VS)

In addition, it's recommended that you use Apple Account Management with VS (Tools > Options > Xamarin > Apple Accounts, enter the App Store Connect API key) and re-download the certificates and profiles.

Besides, do you add capabilities to your application? Adding capabilities to an application often requires additional provisioning setup.

Do you use pairing to mac? Or do you use Hot-restart?

If you have any other issues, please feel free to post in here.

The self-signed root error usually means that the AppleWWDRCA is out of date or missing, but you said it's ok in Keychain.

Do you connect your device to the Windows machine (Hot Restart) or Mac (Pair to Mac)?

Do you login to the Apple Developer Portal and check which certificate matches your profile?

The profiles are in %HOME%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Profiles, all certificates are in %HOME%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Certificates, you can try to remove the profiles then download to your Windows machine again via VS.

can we do a call ?

Phone call is not supported on Q&A, please open a support ticket for this and contact our paid phone support at MS Support. You will get 1:1 support on that.

I had verified everything and valid.

The profiles are in %HOME%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Profiles, all certificates are in %HOME%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Certificates, you can try to remove the profiles then download to your Windows machine again via VS.

DONE it all.

Hello,

I connect through window only

It means that you are using Xamarin Hot Restart and connect a Local Device.

There are two solutions you could have a try:

Enable automatic provisioning. Please follow the MAUI Hot Restart doc to create an App Store Connect API key and add your Individual account (Apple developer account), then configure Automatic Provisioning. (This doc is about MAUI, it also applies for Xamarin) For this solution, it's not supported if your app has the following entitlements: App Groups, Associated Domains, Apple Pay, Game Center, HealthKit, HomeKit, Hotspot, In-App purchase, Multipath, NFC, Personal VPN, Push Notifications, Wireless Accessory Configuration.

Connect your device with Mac, and pair to mac, then select your device from Remote Device. After that, you could try to choose manual provisioning like screenshot in your comment. If the profile is invalid, you have to create a new one. Please see Manual provisioning for Xamarin.iOS.

If you have any other issues, please feel free to post in here.

Best Regards,

Wenyan Zhang
