iOS – Fix Codesign Returned Unknown Error -1=ffffffffffffffff

code-signingcode-signing-certificateiosxcode

I tried to code sign an iOS application,
These are the steps that i followed

    security create-keychain -p password ${KEYCHAIN}
    security set-keychain-settings -u -t 300 ${KEYCHAIN}
    security list-keychains -d user -s login.keychain ${KEYCHAIN}
    security import "$1" -k ${KEYCHAIN} -A -P "${PASSPHRASE}" -A >/dev/null
    security unlock-keychain -p password ${KEYCHAIN}

    /usr/bin/codesign -f -s $IDENTITY --keychain $KEYCHAIN --entitlements $ENTITLEMENTS Payload/Test.app

This returned me Codesign returned unknown error -1=ffffffffffffffff via ssh.

If i directly execute the code sign command in the machine, it's successfully signing.

The issue is only in Mac OS Sierra.

Had the same problem a while ago, adding

security set-key-partition-list -S apple-tool:,apple:,codesign: -s -k password ${KEYCHAIN}

solved it for me.
