Cannot find source signature file templates in Xcode 4.2

Question

In my Xcode 4.2 project, I created a special configuration and I want to add a code signing rights file to the project, which is usually called Entitlements.plist.

In the past, I create this by selecting a folder in the project tree on the left, then clicking the context, selecting "New file ...". The dialog that appears usually has the entry "Code Signature" in the iOS tree on the left, but now it is missing.

The elements that are are as follows:

Cocoa Touch C and C++ User Interface Core Data Resource Other 

I searched for a solution to the problem and searched in Stackoverflow, but could not find the answer.

I know that I could create an empty plist manually and just put the usual default data that can be found on the Internet somewhere, but it bothers me that I cannot find the usual thing.

Answer 1

Although I can’t find the actual link stating that the code signing rights template no longer exists by design, I found a link which states the rights are not required: https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/ technotes / tn2250 / _index.html # // apple_ref / doc / uid / DTS40009933-CH1-TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE-CODE_SIGNING_ENTITLEMENTS .

So, I guess this is by design in new versions of Xcode.

Answer 2

Try removing the code signing rights configuration from the project and target build settings and try the build again.
