Xcode: Could not inspect the application package

Question

I am running Xcode 6 and iOS 8 GM. Every other time I run my app I get this message from Xcode:

I think there are third party files in your code, which might include compiled code which is not signed by you. If so, you can use iReSign to resign them using your own certificate. You can also use the command line:

Replace the example identity with your own (you can man codesign to read more about this command).
