ionic build package error for ios - code sign error

I'm struggling in getting my app ready for submission to Apple App Store...

I have valid ios development and distribution certificates and provisioning profiles.

I can successfully build my app via Xcode using development certificates and provisioning profile and works fines on test device i.e. iPhone 4s.

However, when I change the 'Code Signing Identify' setting in Xcode to use my Apple distribution certificates and set the Provisioning Profile to the production profile, the app builds successfully but when Xcode tries to run the app on the iPhone, it throws an error: 'App installation failed. A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found'.

Not sure if the above is related, when I try to build the app using ionic package CLI command; 'ionic package build ios --release --profile [PROFILE-TAG]' I get this error:

CheckCheck dependencies Code Sign error: No code signing identities found: No valid signing identities (i.e. certificate and private key pair) were found.

For info, I have created the ionic security profile as suggested here: Security Profiles

I'm using: OS X El Capitan Xcode 7.2.1 Cordova 6.0.0 Ionic version: 1.2.4

Happy to provide more info if required. Thank you.

As you have mentioned in the question

However, when I change the 'Code Signing Identify' setting in Xcode to use my Apple distribution certificates and set the Provisioning Profile to the production profile, the app builds successfully but when Xcode tries to run the app on the iPhone, it throws an error: 'App installation failed. A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found'.

You can't directly run the build with the production profile/certificate in the device, to directly run from the xcode you have to build it with the development provision profile

If you want to test your production build before submisson you can download it with the TestFlight, it will be easier and better way of checking the build as same build will go for the submisson

If you need help with testflight you can refer doc here:
