Duplicate Certificates Cause codesign errSecInternalComponent failures
Original Problem We use codesign and notarytool in a scripted environment to build and distribute binaries daily. We also do manual builds by logging into the build server using SSH. This has been working for many years, but after updating to a new Developer ID Application certificate, codesign was failing with errSecInternalComponent and the console logs showed errSecInteractionNotAllowed. Summary of Resolution Attempting to fix the problem resulted in multiple copies of the same Certificate which were NOT shown by Keychain Access. I had to run security delete-identity multiple times to clear out the redundant Identities and then imported the certificate using the security CLI tool. Details I originally followed these instructions for requesting and installing a new certificate: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/create-developer-id-certificates/ Tip: Use the security tool intead These instructions fail to mention two critical points: 1) they assume the machine you generate the re

How do I get access to the Accessory Setup Kit?
Hi! I would like to experiment with the Accessory Setup Kit, but I am not sure how I can add the required entitlement to my Apple Developer account. I added the following to the plist file: NSAccessorySetupKitSupports WiFi NSAccessorySetupWiFiSSIDPrefix test_ test And the following to the entitlements file: com.apple.developer.accessory-setup-kit But I am unable to build as my provisioning profile doesn't include com.apple.developer.accessory-setup-kit entitlement. On the developer portal, I navigated to “Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles” > “Identifiers” > “”, but I don't see it under Capabilities or App services, nor under requests. How do I configure my profile so that I am able to make use of this kit?

Do you have access to the latest source code for your project? That's really the key question here. I agree with the poster above — when I've done development in the past, the app owner has their own Apple Developer account and invites the developer to join their team. The app should be submitted to App Review through the owner's account, not the developer's. A couple of other things to be aware of: if the annual Developer Program fee isn't paid and the account lapses, Apple will remove your app from the store. Once that happens, it's much harder to recover, so time is important here. Also, check any contracts you have with the development company. You may have rights to the source code, which could matter if the company's assets are being handled through bankruptcy proceedings. Without the source code, you'd essentially be starting over from scratch. The good news is that if you do manage to get the code and set up your own developer account, Apple has an app transfer proc

Reply to Developer Control Question
Hi there, You're on the right track in wanting to retain full control of your Apple Developer account while working with a freelancer. The best and most modern approach is to add the developer to your App Store Connect account with the Developer role. This allows them to access the necessary signing tools in Xcode without needing your personal credentials, and they can submit the app directly through App Store Connect. Sharing certificates and private keys (as your developer suggests) can be risky and is no longer considered best practice. Instead, you should handle signing through Xcode and App Store Connect, which ensures both security and control. This way, your app remains under your Apple Developer account, and you retain long-term control while allowing the developer to work without compromising security. Hope that helps! -Dean Reyburn, reyburnengineering.com iOS/MacOS app developer

Developer Control Question
Hi everyone, I’m new to the Apple Developer side of things and I want to make sure I’m handling this correctly. I hired a freelance iOS developer to build my app. I have my own Apple Developer account (Individual), and I want the app published under my account. The developer says he needs me to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), then he will generate the distribution certificate on his end and send me the .cer file back. From there, he would use that for signing and submitting the app. My questions: 1. Is this the correct and modern way to handle app signing? 2. Should I instead just add him to my App Store Connect account with Developer access and let him manage signing through Xcode? Dev claims this won’t work, which I haven’t been able to prove or disprove. ChatGPT says it does,but other AI tools says it doesn’t. 3. Is there any risk in sharing certificates like this? 4. What is considered best practice in 2026 for working with freelancers while keeping full control of t

Regarding renewal of annual app registration fees
I've requested app development and am currently publishing it, but I can't contact the app development company and am unable to pay the annual fee to Apple. I don't know my registered account, so what should I do? I contacted Apple Japan, but they only handle personal inquiries and cannot handle business app development requests, so they suggested I post a question on this website. Thank you in advance.

my enrollment is still pending with no updates after 2 weeks.
I applied for the Apple Developer Program on Jan 29th, but my enrollment is still pending with no updates. This delay is really affecting my project timeline since I need to start my app soon, and I can’t move forward without my account being approved. I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but I haven’t gotten any clear response on when it will be completed. tried even calling the support line but they couldn't help with developer accounts. Has anyone else experienced similar delays? If so, how long did it take for your account to get approved? Would appreciate any advice or insights! Thanks in advance.

Reply to Is calling different SBApplication objects from different threads bad?
Our app can run multiple jobs concurrently, each in its own NSOperation. Each op creates its own SBApplication instance that controls unique instances of InDesignServer. What I'm seeing recently is lots of crashes happening while multiple ops are calling into ScriptingBridge. Shown at the bottom is one of the stack crawls from one of the threads. Can you attach a full crash log? If it's too long or you don't want to share it publicly, you can also file a bug, upload the logs there, then post the bug number back here. I want to see the full app context and crash state, just in case there is something else going on. Also, as a specific detail, how are you actually creating these threads and, in particular, these are standard threads (NSThread/pthread) NOT something fancy like GCD or Swift Async. In searching for answers, Google's AI overview mentions If you must use multiple threads, ensure that each thread creates its own SBApplication instance… Which is what we do. No thread can reach another thread's SBAppli

Reply to Locked Camera Capture Extension: provisioning profile for ExtensionKit appex missing com.apple.developer.locked-camera-capture entitlement (paid team)
Hello @alan_peterson, It isn't restricted, something about your configuration is wrong, that entitlement doesn't exist, and I suspect that you may have been given a message like this in Xcode: Entitlement com.apple.developer.locked-camera-capture not found and could not be included in profile. This likely is not a valid entitlement and should be removed from your entitlements file. I recommend that you compare your configuration with that of the AVCam sample code project, which includes a Locked Camera Capture Extension example. -- Greg

macOS to macOS SwiftData iCloud Sync Problems
I am a novice developer, so please be kind. 😬 I am developing a simple macOS app backed with SwiftData and trying to set up iCloud sync so data syncs between two Macs running the app. I have added the iCloud capability, checked the CloudKit box, and selected an iCloud Container. Per suggestion of Paul Hudson, my model properties have either default values or are marked as optional, and the only relationship in my model is marked as optional. @Model final class Project { // Stable identifier used for restoring selected project across launches. var uuid: UUID? var name: String = var active: Bool = true var created: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) var modified: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) // CloudKit requires to-many relationships to be optional in this schema. @Relationship var timeEntries: [TimeEntry]? init(name: String, active: Bool = true, uuid: UUID? = UUID()) { self.uuid = uuid self.name = name self.active = active self.created = .now self.modified = .now self.timeEn

Reply to Xcode 26.3 Codex Account just spinning
Thanks for the tips, however I still can't get it to work. I've installed the codex CLI and successfully logged in. I tried logging out and back in again too. Whenever I open Xcode Settings -> Intelligence -> OpenAI -> Codex It says ChatGPT Account and there is a never ending spinner.
