Hi,  
When trying to build an iOS app using Capacitor (Xcode 11.2) on a test device results in the following error:

Signing for “App” requires a development team. Select a development team in the Signing & Capabilities editor.

App signing is set to Automatic (build settings / signing) and I can only find team signing option under the Pods build targets (in all cases the development team target is set to a personal team).

Creating a blank XCode project builds fine - so this is likely something with the Pods / setup of Ionic Capacitor.

Help?

Thanks

Hello,

This issue is related to the signing certs that you have as an Apple developer. You can go to the apple developers site and generate a new certificate that you can use in your app. There is a good documentation you can find about that in the same page.
