Provisioning profile doesn't include signing certificate (Xcode 9.3)

After upgrading to macOS 10.13.4 and Xcode 9.3, my project now makes all my Provisioning Profile ineligible! They worked before upgrade.

The error message for the distribution profile is:

Provisioning profile "distribution profile name" doesn't include signing certificate "development certificate name"

So I search through the forum,

  • remove ALL items in keychain My Certificate
  • redownload the distribution profile (double tap to install to Xcode)
  • create new distribution profile (double tap to install to Xcode)
  • recreate the Production certificate (double tap to install to Keychain)
  • redownload the Development certificate (double tap to install to Keychain)

So now my keychain has two production certificate (one is newly created), and one development certificate, and the error is still there. I found it weird that it asked for the development certificate in distribution profile? (I think this is a clue but I don't know why and what to do.)

So now what should I do? Please help!

I got two options for you:

1) open KeyChain and find the signing certificate that shown in the error message then delete it.

2) you specified the signing certificate in the Build Setting->Signing, so go to the Build Setting->Signing and click the Code Signing Identity. Do not select Automatic (iOS Developer or iOS Distribution), select the one of the signing certificates in the Identities in Keychain which is valid and have associated with the Provisioning Profile.
