Hello, In our Account we have an iOS app with an explicit identifier "ABC123.com.some.app" that is using non-team prefix which is DEF456. It has also explicit identifiers for Widgets bundle and Notification Service. Due to non-team prefix, it can't access e.g. shared keychain and data put there by our other apps. Since we are working on features that require these capabilities, we would like to update the app identifier, so it is prefixed with our team id DEF456. Initially, we thought that the process would require steps like: Create new app, team-prefixed identifier(s) for app and all things that need them Recreate the provisioning profiles with new App Identifier Roll out the app using with new profiles via App Store but when trying to create the new identifier with com.some.app and team id prefix DEF456 we are getting following error: An App ID with Identifier com.some.app is not available. Please enter a different string. Can anybody advise us how to correctly perform such change and what steps are required from our end? We would like to keep our existing App Store entry, ratings and smoothly switch users. We are aware that this kind of migration results in loss of Keychain access. Thanks for any advice on that!

I'm currently unable to create new identifiers in the Apple Developer portal at this URL: https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list The “+” button that should appear to create a new identifier is missing entirely from the page. What’s odd is that another team member (with the same access level and role under the same team) can see and use the button without any issues. So this doesn't appear to be a permissions-related problem. I’ve already tried: Logging out and back in Clearing browser cache Using different browsers (Safari, Chrome) Using Incognito/Private mode Still no luck. Has anyone encountered this before or knows how to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

We've recently transferred one of our existing Production apps to a new centralized store in Apple, and the Bundle ID has changed. What's the customer experience for those with the old app? Are they able to upgrade in place, are they notified there's a new build, or do they need to first delete the old app and then search and download the new one?

Good morning, recently we had our application migrated to a new account due to company changes. In the old account we were able to notarize and publish the application, using notarytool and altool, both as an external installer dmg and on the App Store. The migration was successful and after signing up for a paid developer program, creating the new certificates and the new application password, we are now able to successfully sign and notarize the application for distributing the dmg package as an external installer. However we have an issue with the altool used to publish the application on the App Store. It seems a credentials rejection. This is unfortunately preventing us to deliver updated version of our software to our clients. Here are the logs for the two commands The USERNAME, TEAM_ID and APPLICATION_PASS are obviously placeholders by me to not show them in the following requests, and are originally the same in both commands This is the notarytool command -> SUCCESS xcrun notarytool history --apple-id "USERNAME" --team-id "TEAM_ID" --password "APPLICATION_PASS" Successfully received submission history. createdDate: 2025-01-21T12:24:28.472Z id: 94e5e0ba-9529-4c38-b36f-1e0369b745ab name: installer.app.zip status: Accepted

We have a DriverKit entitlement for our USB driver. We now wish to use this same driver with a variant of our existing application. Of course this application has its own separate App ID and will be published in the App Store alongside our existing application. Will we need to go back to the well and ask Apple for another entitlement?

It is possible to provide new updates for the existing users while not having any more new users download our app by removing the app from sale ?

I removed my application from app store 4 days back. and now I am trying to delete app ID that is associated with it, but I am getting error as below: "your app ID "xyz" appears to be in use by the app store, so it can not be removed at this time" how can I resolve this and delete app ID successfully?

Hi all, I am developing new things on my existing .Net core application. I want to create a new page and with this page, the users will create a new app and write important informations. But I cant create a new app with sending post request with connect API. Here is my Postman requests and body. Sending request to : https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps Body : { "data": { "type": "apps", "attributes": { "bundleId": "com.test.testtest", "name": "Test Test", "primaryLocale": "en-US", "sku": "test2024", "platform": "IOS" } } } Also I am using a bearer token, and this token has a admin role. When I send a post request, I am getting below error. { "errors": [ { "id": "35f9631f-b8d8-408c-8dfd-adaef043d062", "status": "403", "code": "FORBIDDEN_ERROR", "title": "The given operation is not allowed", "detail": "The resource 'apps' does not allow 'CREATE'. Allowed operations are: GET_COLLECTION, GET_INSTANCE, UPDATE" } ] } How can I fix this. Pls help. Thanks.

We're going to change and start building our Apps with a new DUNS and Apple account. Is there a possibility to reuse the bundle id and make sure the customers will only download a new version of the same App it's published already in prod stores?

At the beginning of the year, I transferred 3 applications from one account to another. Last month, I had to make changes and update two of them without any issues. Now, I need to update the third one, but in Xcode, I'm getting an error saying that the identifier can't be registered to my development team because it's not available. In App Store Connect, I can see all 3 applications perfectly. I have regenerated the certificates, but this third one is not appearing in the provisioning profiles. Any help?

Hey guys! Please, its not possible to remove or reuse an identifier (new app by removing the old one) through the developer portal? https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list Everytime we try to remove there is a message we can't: There is a problem with the request entity The App ID 'xxxxxxxxxxx' appears to be in use by the App Store, so it can not be removed at this time. But the app has been removed!!! Does anyone knows how to delete/reuse an identifier by doing some action in the portal? NOTE: we are low code - no Xcode (yes, so poor) Thank u guys!

Hi how to resolve below issue, I can't update my application to app store connector AppsService: ResponseErrors (1): Error status: 403, code: FORBIDDEN.OFAC_UNCLEARED, title: 'This Apple ID has not been cleared by sanctions.', detail: 'This Apple ID has not been cleared by sanctions, so it cannot access this page.', id: CBISLAII7FNFDDT2A55TPQVC7I

I'm new one and I would like to publish apps I created for my clients on Apple Store. I have DUNS number for my company. What i read is not possible to push app with my dev account, for my clients because "the app content must be relative to the account name" This means that each client must have its own apple dev account? This seems frustrating for them... So I kindly ask you: I'm an app developer can i publish app for my client with my account? Of course the professional job of my client is different from my job... could this be a problem of validation? If I can, can I use individual account or company account? Last: it's ok if the property of my client's app will be the mine, and displayed as mine on the apple store. Thanks to all for clarification my dubts :)

I want to develop a very basic app for my wife. Since I'm into Windows and Android, I don't have any experience with MacOS. My wife is visually impaired and chose for an iPhone, and never switched since. I want to buy a cheap second hand MacBook Pro 2011 to be able to compile. Found this one online. Is it good enough? It doesn't matter if it's slow or has some weird glitches. Only thing I want is develop the app, install it, and then let the MacBook rest for the rest of its live (sorry for this sad story MacBook-lovers :)) [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Serial Number]

I've got the error about the 10 app maximum limit in 7 days. But I don't get it, first: I only ran one app in my phone(if knew about this, probably would've been a little bit more careful), second: it's been a month and I still get the error. Sorry if it's dumb but I'm new in this whole coding thing.

Hi , I'm facing below mentioned issue while uploading the app using transporter , anyone please help on this.

Dear guys, I am planning to take over the application from an organization that has been published in the Store already. Because their organization will be not available anymore (failure), I will take over that application and continue to develop with new updates. Therefore, Could the organization hand over to me all of the accounts, bills, and permissions that I will use later for the release new updated version? I want to continue to develop this app as an individual program. Is it possible? During developing for new version, I want to deactivate the application on Store, and then I will reactivate it when it's done later. Is it possible? Because I want to keep the current users, and data to continue this production. If I'm missing any steps or requirements, please helo to guide me. Thanks you.

Searching for insight on the best and most compliant way to essentially merge two apps. They have the same functionality but one is much more advanced than the other, although the legacy app has a higher user count. Instead of letting both run, we want to push the legacy app an update with the code from the new app and ultimately kill the newer one. What is the best way to do this? Is it allowed to simply push the source code from new app to legacy and update the identifier? We do not wan't to break any app store rules and want to limit the potential of losing users by forcing them to download a new app.

I created an application and initially I wasn't going to use it to send notifications, but then I realised that I needed to. So quite naturally, I changed the settings in "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles". I activated : Communication Notifications Time Sensitive Notifications But not: Push Notifications Because it's a local application. However, when I transfer a new build to TestFlight, the notification settings are not present in "Settings" on my iPhone: Same thing, in the notifications settings, it doesn't show up :/. So my question is this: How can I get my notification settings to be "activated", knowing that they weren't originally authorised in my "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" settings?

I'm trying to update our Mac version of our iOS app using Xcode 14.2, the update worked using Xcode 11. The detailed error is: Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle maccatalyst.com.xxxxxxx.yyyyyyyy [maccatalyst.com.xxxxxxx.yyyyyyyy.pkg/Payload/yyyyyyy.app] is invalid. [Invalid 'com.apple.application-identifier' entitlement value.] For more information, visit the macOS Developer Portal. (ID: 8dd00921-66a8-4eea-b0c5-e674b5073df5) The entitlements are: com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write true com.apple.developer.associated-application-identifier YYYYYYYYYY.com.xxxxxxxx.yyyyyyyy com.apple.application-identifier ZZZZZZZZZZ.maccatalyst.com.xxxxxxxx.yyyyyyyyy com.apple.security.network.server true com.apple.security.personal-information.photos-library true com.apple.security.device.bluetooth true get-task-allow false com.apple.security.network.client true com.apple.security.device.camera true com.apple.developer.team-identifier ZZZZZZZZZZ application-identifier ZZZZZZZZZZ.maccatalyst.com.xxxxxxxxxx.yyyyyyyyy com.apple.security.app-sandbox true com.apple.security.personal-information.location true I assume the problem has something to do with the application-identifier having a team identifier prefix (ZZZZZZ...) instead of the developer identifier prefix (YYYYYY...)? How can I fix this? I have seen posts from other people having the same problem but haven't found any solution.
