No matching code signing identity found - Xcode error

Hello,

I am new to Mac and Xcode. I just want to learn Xcode and not publish any apps. Hence I did not enroll in the paid developer program.

Whenever I try to create a project in Xcode, it gives me this error - "No matching code signing identity found". If I click on "Fix Issue", it asks me to add my apple ID. I did that but I cannot add it to any team. I also tried requesting a certificate through keychain. But I am not sure on how to check the status of that.

Please pardon my lack of knowledge on this as I just a beginner. But any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
