Cause

Apple has introduced changes to iOS security requirements and framework architecture in the release of iOS8.  Apple now requires dynamic libraries to be signed with the same team identifier as the main app.

Please see more information Preparing for iOS8 - HOWTO101927

Resolution

Use the attached script (resign.sh) to re-sign the app: For more information visit Preparing for iOS8 - HOWTO101927

1.    Run the resign script

./resign.sh --ipa yourIPA.ipa --profile yourProvisingProfile --identity "iPhone Distribution: Developer Name (xxxxxxxxxx)" --out yourNewResignedIPA.ipa

2.    Upon successful upload of your app, your users will receive a push notification indicating an updated version of your app is available for download and installation.
