How do you fix "code object is not signed at all In subcomponent:" in Xcode 6, Mac OS X Yosemite or Mavericks?

Question

When compiling my application I'm getting the following error:

I'm using two frameworks, Paddle and Sparkle and they are configured to sign on copy:

Looking for a solution to this problem I found many recommendations to do a --deep sign, which is officially discouraged by Apple (Using the codesign Tool's --deep Option Correctly).

I also found the article Code Signing and Mavericks which also explains that using --deep is wrong and offers an alternative: using a script to generate signatures for each framework. I think this is something that was needed before Xcode had the option to sign on copy, but I gave it a try anyway. It made no difference, I still get the same error. Looking at the logs, the bundles are getting signed with the "Sign on copy" option, so, adding that script caused them to get signed twice.

My code signing identity is configured as follows for the whole project and each target just inherits it:

I understand that's not the appropriate signature for Release, but for now, we are just trying to get this to build and run locally.

Any ideas what's wrong? Any ideas how to fix it? I understand that

For me I had to go to the Project build settings and set Other Code Signing Flags to --deep. The problem was that my framework in the project was not signed.
