1 more way to try for those manual sign, in my case , I strictly aim for "Distribution" only, so what you can try here: open your ../your-prj.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj using VSCODE (or any text/code editor). manually search for following and forcefully change all of them to what you want , there will be multiple group of following (in my case , Debug-free and Release-free group) however most likely all you need to care about is Release only, if you are trying to archive or *.ipa search following and change them CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = "Apple Distribution"; "CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*]" = "Apple Distribution"; ... ... PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER = dist-askt; "PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER[sdk=iphoneos*]" = dist-askt; dist-askt is the profile name I've created in developer.apple.com, go back to XCODE, simply click around here and there to refresh , OR choose (read from DISK) if any warning prompted you the project have updated outside of XCODE OR simply kill restart XCODE
