Code signing is required for product type 'Unit Test Bundle' in SDK 'iOS 8.0'

My app target is code signing just fine - but my test target is not. I bought a new computer, created a new development certificate from the computer, updated the provisioning profile accordingly, installed both, but can't get past this code signing error.

Any way of wiping all certs/profiles locally so I can reinstall?

Probably some kind of bug.

The problem is the project is under source control and every time I pull the .xcodeproj is updated. And since my provisioning profile is different than the one in source control, the Unit Test target automatically switches to "Do not code sign". So I simply have to set the profile there after each git pull.

Apparently if deploying to a device, if there is a unit test target, it must be code signed.

Steps:

1) Change target to your test target (AppnameTests)

2) Make sure "Code Signing Identity" is NOT "Don't Code Sign". Pick a profile to sign with

That is all I had to change to get it to work.
