I'm trying to build my Expo app. I already built it for Android, but now I'm struggling to create a release on iOS to upload on TestFlight. I have the apple developer account of my university, and they added our bundle ID there(I'm not an admin). When I try to build with EAS, it requires a p12 file. So, I tried to generate it in this way: From Keychain Access I created a CSR(by adding my mail and name) and then on Apple Developers I uploaded it(Certificates > +), so I downloaded a .cer file I opened the .cer on Keychain Access and I dragged it under "login" section From there I exported the p12 file But that p12 gives me always this error when I run npx eas build --platform ios : Provided Distribution Certificate is no longer valid on Apple's server after submitting the p12 file on eas console. Can someone help us? Thanks in advance for your availability :)

Hello, We recently encountered an issue with our app's submission to the App Store regarding missing permissions. Specifically, our app requires access to two categories called: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp and NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults for proper functionality. Although we've managed to resolve the immediate concern, it's important that we address this as soon as possible (to avoid any further complications with future app submissions). As I'm not entirely familiar with app development/coding, I'm reaching out to seek help with this. We also want to know if the issue we're experiencing is related to using pre-release software or our code? Any insights or help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Since Xcode 15.3 it has become impossible to build our project more twice in a row without encountering a batch of "internal inconsistency error: never received target ended message for target ID …". This issues appeared a few months ago (15.0 i think, but i'm not sure), but xcode 15.3 makes it almost unusable. We're a team of 3 iOS devs, and we're all having the problem. Our project involves a lot of SPM packages, a few cocoa pods, a few iOS Frameworks, and a bit of swiftgen. Nothing particularly special for a large project, and no custom build steps that does anything fancy. It is now to the point where we're looking for alternative to xcode, because we can't decently kill xcode and restart every time we have to build our code...

Hi to all. I'm building a Mac application using QT (PySide6). After updating XCode to 15.3.0 (Sonoma), the Accessibility Inspector stopped working correctly, it does not display the attributes of nested elements, but only the title of the window. When using XCode 14.2 (Monterey) - everything worked correctly. main.py from PySide6.QtGui import QGuiApplication from PySide6.QtQml import QQmlApplicationEngine app = QGuiApplication(sys.argv) engine = QQmlApplicationEngine() engine.quit.connect(app.quit) engine.load("main.qml") sys.exit(app.exec()) main.qml import QtQuick.Controls ApplicationWindow { visible: true width: 600 height: 500 title: "MyApp" Rectangle { anchors.fill: parent Text { id: my_text anchors.centerIn: parent text: "My APP" font.pixelSize: 45 Accessible.role: Accessible.StaticText Accessible.name: my_text.text Accessible.description: "my app text" } Accessible.role: Accessible.StaticText Accessible.name: "Rectagle" Accessible.description: "my app rectangle" } } The code is the same for both applications On Monterey i can select any region with accessible On Sonoma - only title Does anyone know a solution? Maybe someone has a similar problem?

Obviously I am a developer, I was also one back in the day with Borland when they came out with great alternatives to Microsoft! Back then we had two people in a garage trying to develop a tinkerer version of this revolutionary small version of a device to rival the big bucks vaz and huge mainframes. Prts were cheap, we didn’t have disk drives, just tapes. And in concert with someone with Apple in charlotte We d v loped a contacts database to be saved on tape. Then later with Borland I met with a developer to install the correct hp laser jet driver to print. I was main online Compuserve to support a programmable word processor which had its own language. then the Internet came, RjJ Reynolds donated multimultiple lIBM IPCs to our ham club, Grinos came out in C, so I modified it for packet radio across th the repeaters in NC. So I left law school and went working on an Apple //e at a local retailer. I’d replace power supplies and graphics chips for 16 and 64 k computers, occasionally the accountant who needed amore screen. All great but bills were just bareable at that income level. Like the Raspberry Pi’s of today (which I just created. again unfortunately my MacBook Pro 16” display developed a screen went south but plugging in an hdmi to close monitor works, almost. So I call Apple support send me to Greensboro Apple Genius Bar because I have AppleCare, but she continently forg ts to write that in her notes. So when I’m at the store, the do find an issue with my brand new iPhone 15 with AppleCare but I have no proof so they will fix my MacBook Pro. My main development machine. I just published a new apple book last month on it. im 66 now in impermanent housing trying to make myself worthwhile to the community, yet I can’t. I can at best submit a formal complaint to Apple and “hope it gets to the right channels” just like when the first Apple Music rollout deleted 4000 songs because they weren’t in iTunes Match. Apple sent two puzzled techs out for Pinkerton had thousands of followers, but not me. I got from executive support “ we don’t need user input”. And it’s now true: woz is gone, all feedback goes to a robot and the live people ”forget to write down crucial info”. so it all boils down to how will I learn swift with Xcode and use the 15 to upload to the Vision Pro (when I can afford it) when even the newest Mac beta was too big to fit on my MacBook Pro with moving files to the cloud.

I have several apps that contain extensions. For example an App Clip, Widget, Background Assets extension, etc. In Xcode Organizer Version 15.3 (15E204a), attempting to view crash data for these apps results in a failure. I have explicitly seen this error print out the app clip extension bundle identifier, as well as the background assets extension bundle identifier. It says the following error: An error occurred preventing Xcode from downloading crashes list. "" failed with error: Access Restricted with bundle id: com.example.app-name.extension-name Is anyone else experiencing this? I created a feedback a few weeks ago, it seemed to coincide with the release of Xcode 15.3 and or the new App Store Connect metrics APIs. App IDs and bundle identifiers detailed in the feedback if anyone at Apple wants the info. FB13677615 - Xcode: Cannot download crashes for apps that containg extensions --> "Access Restricted with bundle id:

Your app or its metadata does not appear to include complete and final content. Specifically, your app description needs to describe in-app features and functionality. App Store users expect the apps they download to be ready for public use. Apps on the store shouldn't include placeholder or incomplete content or information. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please revise your app and metadata so that all of its content is complete and final. For example: Your app binary or metadata should not include "lorem ipsum" text. App metadata should not include placeholder screenshots, such as "screenshot coming soon." Provide an engaging app description that highlights the features and functionality of your app. I received this mail, I made required changes still getting this

Hello all, If anyone can offer any advice on how to fix this I'd really appreciate it. Context I recently changed over to from Unreal Engine 4.26 to 5.3, Xcode 13 to 15 and Wwise 2021 to 2023 for my audio plugin development. Previously I haven't encountered the problems I outline below and I managed to successfully build many plugins. **The Problem ** When I run my command (python "/Applications/Audiokinetic/Wwise 2023.1.2.8444/Scripts/Build/Plugins/wp.py" build Mac -c Release -x arm64), which worked before I updated from Xcode 13 to 15, I get the following error: "xcrun: error: missing DEVELOPER_DIR path: /Applications/Xcode14.app/Contents/Developer" I've done some google-fu around the problem, but alot of things I've done aren't working. Under Xcode/settings/locations/command line tools there is already a selection (Xcode 15.3 (15E204a)). I have installed updated CLTs at terminal using: "xcode-select --install" and I've made sure to use Settings/Software Update in order to make sure it's up to date. Then I attempted to run the following command as root to set my command line tools to the another location: "sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developers" When I do this it runs, but still gives the same error as originally, so I think the issue is the missing 14 from Xcode14.app because if I run: ** "sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode14.app/Contents/Developers"** Then it tells me that I'm trying to set an invalid directory. My actual path to the location of the files is "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developers" which is why I think the 14 is the issue. My command line tools in xcode are Xcode 15.3 (15E204a). Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is an issue? Do I need to install a different version of the command line tools? Please and thanks in advance!

hello. I want to set the Products Path to a visible location of my choice, rather than the Derived Data path that Xcode sets by default (a.k.a ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData). I specified the 'Build Products Path' in each project target, but Xcode ignores this and creates the Product in the Derived Data path. I found that if I specify Workspace Settings - Advanced - Legacy, it will create a Product in the specified 'Build Products Path'. This works very well for me. But since the Workspace Settings - Advanced - Legacy setting is a per-user setting, I'll have to ask other colleagues to do this as well. I want people who share my project to have the same Product path without any additional settings. (Of course, it is a project-relative path) Workspace Settings - Advanced - Legacy Is there a way to save and share the settings as shared rather than per-user?

Hey! I noticed a difference between Xcode 15.2 and 15.3 which causes our production build to fail verification with Apple. This happens with one Swift Package which has xcframeworks as binary targets. There is no issue when exporting the app using Xcode 15.2, as the frameworks are not exported into the Frameworks folder within the app package when inspecting the exported archive. With Xcode 15.3 it is exported which then causes the following error: 2024-03-11 13:53:03.520 *** Error: ERROR: [ContentDelivery.Uploader] Asset validation failed (90208) Invalid Bundle.

Hello, does anybody know how Apple anonymizes and aggregates the analytics provided to us devs? I'm interested in understanding the extent of their privacy safeguards. Do they employ federated analytics, or do they use a less effective method?

Hi, I am using xctrace to launch an app and check if the app launched successfully or crashed by reading the content of the .trace file. However if multiple devices are connected , xctrace complain No devices found matching the identifier specified. Please let me know if there is any limitations for the device to be connected.

I just upgraded to XCode15.3 and now all my projects with Assets are getting this compile error. I have tried removing DerivedData caches and rebooting but still get this error.

My how things have changed! Right? I cannot even describe how much time and effort my copilot has saved me. I code with the Mac version of VSCode and have been using Pieces for Developer's - a free plugin from the VSCode Marketplace. Talk about blown away. I've used ChatGPT for a year in my browser, even GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, Cody and others... but having the Pieces copilot integrated into my editor as well as my entire toolchain has been insane. On top of that, the Pieces Desktop (https://pieces.app/) that comes with the plugin is free too and does absolute magical things for my workflow. My work is transformed because my copilot is like my own employee that does my work for me in a fraction of time. Looking to hear what copilot experiences you are enjoying. Reply with a link to what you are using. If it's better than Pieces Copilot then I'll be retiring soon! Rich

We submit for notarization using: xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id ACCOUNT --team-id XXXXXX --password NNNNNN application.zip I have occasionally had success uploading one of the applications, but I have never been successful uploading the bigger one. What is the reason for this? The files are not very large. The small file is only 6.0GB and the big file is only 17.5GB. Of the past 100 failures: 72: error: HTTPClientError.deadlineExceeded 28: error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (Network.NWError error 54 - Connection reset by peer)) On average it takes me around 50 attempts (2 days of uploading) to get past the S3 client configuration. I have tried 5 different internet providers for these uploads. None of them work any better, even ones that have great latency and connections to AWS. I only have a limited number of Mac OS X machines so I have tried on all of the ones I can afford, but none of them work better or worse than my new Mac Book Pro (2021) I have tried every single option and combination of options from man notarytool including disabling S3 acceleration, setting timeouts, trying to use wait. I have tried them all, Can someone please help me figure this out? I'm getting desperate and this is making me look really ****** for pushing to have a Mac OS X port because Mac users are stuck waiting for the notarization service which lags the Mac updates by many days. The error messages make it clear that notarytool is using Soto S3. The developer has indicated in multiple threads that the error HTTPClientError.deadlineExceeded is fixed by increasing the client timeout. Is there a way I can modify notarytool to apply this patch? https://github.com/soto-project/soto/discussions/622 Is it possible to write our own S3 upload tool that bypasses Soto S3 and uses something more reliable? Again, the files I am uploading are not very big none of them are bigger than 25GB. I don't understand why it doesn't work.

Hi, I'm trying to Developer ID-sign and export a macOS app through my CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions, but I've run into an issue signing my app once it has one or more entitlements, in this case, an app group entitlement. I'm using xcodebuild to archive the app and export that archive, signing it along the way. This works fine as long as my app does not have an entitlement, but once it has an entitlement, exporting the archive fails. To elaborate a bit on this, I first make sure the development certificate and the Developer ID certificate are installed on the machine. These are installed using the security CLI, and I'm confident that they are installed correctly. Then I proceed to archive the app using xcodebuild as shown below. xcodebuild archive\ -scheme MyApp\ -configuration Release\ -sdk macosx\ -archivePath MyApp.xcarchive\ -destination "platform=OS X,arch=x86_64"\ -allowProvisioningUpdates\ -authenticationKeyIssuerID XYZ1234\ -authenticationKeyID XYZ\ -authenticationKeyPath AuthKey.p8 Then I export the archive using xcodebuild as shown below. xcodebuild -exportArchive\ -archivePath MyApp.xcarchive\ -exportPath export\ -exportOptionsPlist ExportOptions.plist\ -allowProvisioningUpdates\ -authenticationKeyIssuerID XYZ1234\ -authenticationKeyID XYZ\ -authenticationKeyPath AuthKey.p8 When my app has one or more entitlements, this fails with the following error message: Error: error: exportArchive: Cloud signing permission error Error: error: exportArchive: No profiles for 'com.example.MyApp' were found Note that I am not signed into an Apple ID in Xcode when signing and exporting my app through my CI/CD pipeline, as there does not seem to be a way to sign into an Apple ID in Xcode through the CLI. Instead, I'm authenticating with an App Store Connect API key. Developer ID-signing and exporting my app does work when I do it through Xcode, even if the app has an entitlement, so the signing of the app is configured correctly. Upon inspecting the contents of ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles after signing and exporting the app through Xcode, I notice that Xcode automatically creates two provisioning profiles with the titles: Mac Team Provisioning Profile: com.example.MyApp Mac Team Direct Provisioning Profile: com.example.MyApp These two provisioning profiles are not created when signing and exporting the app through the xcodebuild command-line tool, and I suspect that is part of the problem. I'd be OK with manually creating these provisioning profiles through Apple's developer portal and installing them as part of my CI/CD pipeline, but I can't seem to find a way to create this type of provisioning profile through the portal. Neither the macOS App Development, Mac App Store Connect, nor Developer ID provisioning profile types yield this kind of provisioning profile. All of this, leaves me with the question: How do I Developer ID-sign and export a macOS app with an entitlement through the command-line without being signed in with my Apple ID in Xcode?

I find odd that the App Store Connect still requires 5.5" iPhone screenshots of the iPhone 8 Plus, given that this specific phone is no longer supported by the latest release: iOS 17. I am well aware that the iPhone SE still has a similar screen ratio, and that it is still being supported by iOS 17, but it doesn't have the same pixel requirements (1242 x 2208), which means that in order for my app to be even reviewed (which is an iOS 17+ exclusive), I'm gonna have to create images that will then be upscaled to the right dimensions. Am I missing something here, or is it Apple who missed this detail?

Hi We are developing iOS app using react native. Vscode is used as IDE. when we build the project in Xcode build is successful. But when we try to run it on Xcode simulator the recent changes are not visible. The build is having only the older changes. Please guide us in resolving this.

Dear Apple Developer Community, I am writing to urgently address the termination of my program enrollment and the failure to receive a refund. Despite enrolling in the Apple Developer Program with anticipation, my enrollment was abruptly terminated without explanation. Despite multiple attempts to seek clarification, I have received no response regarding the reason for the termination. This lack of communication is deeply concerning and frustrating. Furthermore, I have yet to receive a refund for the fees paid upon enrollment. As a developer, I value transparent and equitable transactions, yet the current situation falls short of these standards. I request immediate assistance in resolving this matter. Specifically, I seek clarification on the grounds for the termination of my enrollment and prompt initiation of the refund process for the fees paid. Thank you for your urgent attention to this issue. Sincerely, Srivarshith Daladuli.

Good day, I'm trying to resolve the EU "Digital Services Act" compliance for my employer's Apple Developer account, but I'm stuck on verifying the phone number. The email verification code came through without any issue. We are located in South Africa, with a "+27" area code and the number I need to use here is a landline that comes through to the receptionist at our head office. This number does not have the ability to receive text messages, so I selected the "Didn't get a verification code?" link and chose the receive a phone call instead, however the call never comes through. Calling the number from my cellphone goes straight through to the receptionist, there are no digital switchboard prompts for the caller to select from. I tried this numerous times this Friday just past, and again twice now today, still no luck. I've requested an official document from my manager to see if I can go that route to verify the details, but so far nobody seems to be able to find an appropriate document for me to use... :( Is there anything else that I can do here?
