A target has no development team

iOS / Xcode · last reviewed 2026-11-10

The error looks like this

error: Signing for "HelloWorld" requires a development team. Select a development team in the Signing & Capabilities editor.

Why it happens

Usually an extension or a newly added target; Xcode only set the team on the main app.

How to fix it

Xcode > select the named target > Signing & Capabilities > choose your Team.
Repeat for every target listed in the log.

Not sure this is your error? Let ReleaseMedic read the whole log

$ npx releasemedic log build.log

Or pipe a build straight in: cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease 2>&1 | npx releasemedic log -

Catch it before you build

Most release errors come from project settings you can check in seconds — signing, SDK levels, privacy manifests, permissions, push and login setup.
