Solution 1

With Xcode-8.1 & iOS-10.1

Add your Apple ID in Xcode Preferences > Accounts > Add Apple ID:

Enable signing to Automatically && Select Team that you have created before:

Change the Bundle Identifier:

Code Signing to iOS Developer:

Provision profile to Automatic:

You can now run your project on a device!

Solution 2

To add developer account to Xcode:

Press Cmd ⌘ + , (comma)
Go to Accounts tab
Follow the screen shot below to enable development team:

Solution 3

In case you are still having this problem, click on the Tests and select a team for them too.

Solution 4

To run your app on a real device, you need to have an Apple ID, and have registered your device with that ID. That is why you are getting this error.

Here's how you do it.

Go to the project Navigator. Cmd-1 if you can't find it.
Click the project target dropdown and pick Target.
Click on the Team dropdown and pick add an account.
Sign in with your Apple ID that is linked to your developer account, or just your Apple if you don't have a dev account.
If you haven't registered your device with that account yet, a button will appear, something like 'Register device'. Click that and Apple will register the device and do the certificates and code signing. (Oh my unicorns certificates and signing is so much easier than it used to be)

Pick your physical device and hit run and it should load onto your device without error.

Solution 5

Well, after I did all those things I still got the errors so I closed Xcode and opened it up again and then it worked.

I have Xcode 8 installed on OS X El Capitan.

I get this error:

Signing for "target" requires a development team. Select a development team in the project editor.

  You need to go to the General tab and select a Team.

  This should (surprise) happen to people the have been using "Run" (simulator) successfully, but not when they want to "Archive". Can you confirm the command that triggered this error?

you not need developer account for testing. apple id is enough with latest xcode. You can test your app in devices by your apple id only!

I did tried many times by adding and deleting the accounts in xcode but still not able to get through the above error. Automatic signing is enabled and some other team is selected instead of actual APP ID.

What does "You can set it from general" mean. Who's the general, where does he live, and what army? Need more context please.

Select Target and then select General. You can see Automatic signin :)

Great job answering this question, and I love the screenshots. Thanks! Cool that you don't have to pay $99 to run any more.

It is not explained where many of these options are beyond the first step which is why this answer is not useful for me. Also where is Target? Can you please give step-by-steps?

Configuring Xcode to just run your project s***s on so many levels. There is absolutely no need to be that complicated.

This is actually the solution that resolved it for me

To get to this general settings, select the dropdown at the top and change it to your device

Glad that worked for you. As a relatively new Xcode user, I do feel compelled to mention that this is the type of change best done in Xcode GUI, when possible, AFAIK.
Andru about 5 years

Haha, don't know why, but that solved it for me, too!
Faisal Julaidan about 5 years

same here. So follow the steps up then close Xcode and reopen it again
Kim about 5 years

where can I click on "Tests" ?
Jaaayz about 5 years

Same here. Follow the steps on the approved answer then if it doesn't work close xCode then open the workspace again then the job is done. LOL

I already had the team selected long ago, but now that I started making the tests, they have this problem. Neither clicking on the top-level test "folders" or the test code files themselves brings up anyplace where I could select the development team for them. This is Xcode 10.2.

For those confused how to get to the signing page, you double click the top file in your file explorer, that opens the project settings where you can select the bundle name and signing

A disappointingly robust solution to all Xcode code signing problems for the past few years :/

On Xcode 11.3, under the project file there are tabs for General, Signing, etc. To the left of those nav buttons there should be your project's name in a dropdown. That is the target, click the dropdown to select a different target, e.g., the tests and from there you can select the signing.

Cheers for using technology from 1987 to present your answer

Note: in more recent versions of XCode, that option for automatically manage signing would be in the "Signing & Capabilities" tab. –

Where is Target?

@jonesy827 there is, search here for subject With Xcode-8.1 & iOS-10.1

Yep, someone must have updated it. Definitely was not when I made the comment :) Thanks for the headsup
