iOS export failing when entering provisioning profile and codesign identity

[ehmprah]

Godot version

3.4.stable

System information

MacOS 12.1

Issue description

When exporting my project for iOS, I entered all necessary codesigning data like team ID, codesign identity and provisioning profile UUID. Exporting fails with the following error:

error: PROJECT has conflicting provisioning settings. PROJECT is automatically signed, but provisioning profile PROVISIONING_PROFILE has been manually specified. Set the provisioning profile value to "Automatic" in the build settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the Signing & Capabilities editor. (in target 'PROJECT' from project 'PROJECT')
** ARCHIVE FAILED **

I would expect the automatic signing to be turned off once I supply all these details? Or am I somehow not understanding the error message?

Steps to reproduce

See above. The only way the export works for me is to leave the provisioning profile UUID empty and by entering "iPhone Developer" / "iPhone Distribution" in the codesign identity fields.

Minimal reproduction project

No response

This should be re-opened, as someone on Reddit and I can reproduce it in Godot 3.5.

Luckily, I think I found a workaround for App Store Connect (Test Flight + App Store):

1. Before continuing, do yourself a favor and make sure you have a JPG selected for Icons→"App Store 1024 X 1024", otherwise XCode will complain about a transparent image. This should be improved in Godot too. (4.x) iOS: Force app store icon to be opaque, use proper errors #64630
2. Keep "Code Sign Identity Debug" and "Code Sign Identity Release" blank in Godot export
3. Export
4. Open XCode, click the root item to open the main settings area, switch to the Build Settings tab and scroll all the way down to Signing
5. Change all 4 "Code Signing Identity" values to "Apple Development" (don't try changing the root one). This is silly but from all my testing it was the only way to trick it into working.
6. Go to the "Signing & Capabilities" tab and uncheck/recheck "Automatically manage signing" a couple times, kinda like whack a mole, until 7)
7. Eventually there should be a single signing area, with "Automatically manage signing" checked. Now select your Team.
8. I did Product→Archive for my own workflow, and it seems to work. Make sure App Store Connect is selected, and later on it will tell you it is resigning everything

I'm getting this same issue when exporting to iOS with Godot 4.1.1. I've set nothing in the export settings other than team ID and package name.

EDIT: I fixed it by creating a random project in Xcode and building it to my iPhone, then exported my Godot project and it worked. I guess Xcode needs to generate signature stuff separately for the first time. Maybe this should be explained in the docs

I am encountering the same problem 4.1.3.

/Users/myapp/iOS/MyApp.xcodeproj: error: "MyApp" requires a
provisioning profile. Select a provisioning profile in the Signing & 
Capabilities editor. (in target 'MyApp' from project 'MyApp')
** ARCHIVE FAILED **

This error appears to interrupt the build process in a way that makes the Xcode project faulty, because my SQLite library dependencies appear to not get dumped out into the Xcode project. (I think that is why anyway, I am not sure) The Xcode files will run on my computer and on my phone, but because of the missing SQLite dependency, the application will not work correctly.

Doing the export twice (i.e. export, set the signing settings in Xcode, then re-export) doesn't fix anything as far as I can tell.
