trying to deploy the LotBot app to my physical device, rtd2, which is listed as a device in the App Developer Portal. when I create a provision file it is always for W246SX52AS, as seen in the developer portal, but from Xcode I am showing a app id of "Apple Development: Richard Dukes (86537MF8N2)". Message: I am unable to create a "Apple Development: Richard Dukes (W246SX52AS)" so I may deploy to the device and the App Store. I have signed out and back in to Xcode with my account but when creating the profile it is always the 86537MF8N2. 95E07D345D31D45E4589FA7EA6FDF161E079C100 "Apple Distribution: Richard Dukes (W246SX52AS)" 5AC76CE9331F80AE953C4C76FC21DE5C2416293E "Apple Development: Richard Dukes (86537MF8N2)" How can I get Xcode to use W246SX52AS? I have these help tickets open as well. case ID is 102678952862 case ID is 102678950460 I have been fighting this for a while. Please help me figure out to get this resolved.

Hi everyone We have brought the iOS development in-house from a consulting firm and have developed a new app that will replace the old one. To minimize disruption for users of the old app during this upgrade, we would like to release the new app as an update to the old one, using the Bundle ID from the old app. It is important to note that the old app has already been released through the App Store. The two apps share no code and are almost incompatible on any points. Is it possible to change the Bundle ID and delete UserDefaults from the old app during the transition to the new app? We look forward to your input!

This bundle is invalid. The IPA format requires a top-level directory named Payload, containing only a .app bundle and optional plugins in a Plugins directory. (ID: df59dbe4-17e5-4bc6-9c69-8645672320(4))

We have a client with an application that includes a main application, NSEs (Notification Service Extensions) as an extension, and framework1 embedded within the main application. The NSEs also require framework1 as a dependency. When we embedded framework1 within the NSEs, the App Store Connect validation failed with the following error: Validation failed (409) CFBundleIdentifier Collision. There is more than one bundle with the CFBundleIdentifier value 'com.test.xyz-LoggerUtility' under the iOS application 'test.app'. (ID: -----------) We've observed an issue specifically when uploading to App Store Connect. We're able to debug and distribute the application without any problems using our enterprise distribution.

I'm working on implementing Apple Wallet passes using background push notifications. My server successfully sends the push notification using APNs. The response from the server is HTTP/2 200, and the device receives the push — I can confirm this from device logs. However, the device logs show the following error: "Failed to parse JSON message payload for topic " "Unable to deserialize JSON message payload" My payload is below 2 payload. //string payload = "{"aps":{"content-available":1}}"; string payload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { aps = new Dictionary<string, object> { { "content-available", 1 } } }); string curlArgs = $"-s -o nul -w \"%{{http_code}}\" " + $"--data-binary \"{payload}\" " + $"-H \"apns-topic: {bundleId}\" " + $"-H \"apns-push-type: background\" " + $"-H \"apns-priority: 5\" " + $"-H \"content-type: application/json\" " + $"-H \"authorization: bearer {jwt}\" " + $"--http2 https://api.push.apple.com/3/device/{token}"; I’ve confirmed that: The device has the Wallet pass installed. The apns-topic header is set to my passTypeIdentifier. The apns-push-type is background and apns-priority is 5. Steps to Reproduce: Install Wallet pass on iOS device. Send background push to device using the above payload. Observe the device logs using Console.app or log stream. See error: unable to deserialize JSON message payload. Is there a specific payload format expected for Wallet passes? Or any additional fields required in the push payload to avoid this deserialization error?

I was developing an app using a certain bundle ID, but then had to delete it (and I also removed the app ID Identifier) My question is, can I make a new app with the exact same bundle ID as I was using on the removed one? Since the old app never went into production I don't see why that would be a problem

A little bit of background: If you make an app with no compiled Arm64 binaries in the Content/MacOS folder, MacOS erroneously identifies it as an Intel based app. After launching the app, MacOS will prompt the user to install rosetta, despite the app running fine natively. I found a simple solution to this issue, either include a do-nothing compiled binary to Contents/MacOS, or add <key>LSArchitecturePriority</key> <array> <string>arm64</string> </array> to the plist. The problem is this change only fixes the issue if you also change the BundleID. If you run the app even once with the bad configuration, MacOS seems to cache the intel flag somewhere based on the BundleID. It does not seem to be cached in the usual places. How to reproduce: (On apple silicon) You probably already have rosetta, and it is a pain to remove, so a VM is likely needed. Make an empty app with Script Editor, export with file format: Application. Replace Example.app/Content/MacOS/applet with a script of the same name. Make sure the old applet is gone, don't rename it and leave it in the directory. I used: #!/usr/bin/osascript display dialog "Hello, world" Make it executable sudo chmod +x ./Example.app/Content/MacOS/applet Run the app and observe that it asks you to install rosetta Add the previously mentioned fix to you plist, including the BundleID change Run it again and observe that it now works Change your BundleID back. Running this now raises the rosetta prompt despite the fact that it runs fine on a clean install of MacOS. Things I have tried: Rebooting, no effect Reforming the app, no effect Reboot in recovery mode, no effect lsregister -delete, no effect ~/Library/Preferences, ~/Library/Caches, /Library/Preferences, and /Library/Caches, none contain an entry for the BundleId defaults delete, domain not found

Hello, We are encountering an issue when using the App Store Connect API to create a bundle ID via the endpoint: POST https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/bundleIds In our request, we specify the platform value "UNIVERSAL", which according to the official documentation is a valid value: BundleIdPlatform documentation However, the API now returns the following error response: { "errors": [ { "code": "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.TYPE", "detail": "'UNIVERSAL' is not a valid value for the attribute 'platform'. Expected one of: 'IOS', 'MAC_OS'", "status": "409", "title": "An attribute in the provided entity has the wrong type" } ] } According to the documentation, the platform attribute accepts the following values: IOS, MAC_OS and UNIVERSAL. It appears that UNIVERSAL is no longer accepted even though it is still listed as a valid option. Has support for UNIVERSAL been deprecated or changed recently? If so, what is the current recommended way to create bundle IDs that are intended for multiple platforms? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm trying to create a new build from VSC through EAS (expo) but it's failing and returning the error I'm attaching. I'm running the command eas build --profile preview --platform ios. I have an "App Manager" account, my colleague has the same role and he can do builds normally. I have other permissions and accesses ok, as can be seen in the attached picture, but apparently I have the issue in "register bundle identifier". Does anyone faced the same issue? How can I solve this? What step I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

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!

When we initiated the app transfer, we were eligible for app transfer and it was transferred as well. But App's bundle identifiers are not transferred yet which is blocking to push new updates. We contacted various time to apple, but we get similar responses. What may be the exact reason that is blocking to transfer the app bundle identifiers. However, app has already been transferred and active from recipient developer account.

Please note that the widgets sub forum is a 404: https://developer.apple.com/forums/post/question?community=1394020 I have a widget that works on iOS but doesn't work on Catalyst. The widget does not appear in the list of available widgets to install. It's related to the Bundle ID for the widget. If I use a fresh bundle ID the widget loads, but if I use the one I'm currently using for iOS it doesn't appear as available to install. To confirm it's related to the bundle ID I created a fresh project in xcode and recreated the behaviour. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi - I was recently added to Apple Developer Team, and I am trying to upload an App to our Team's App Store Connect account for TestFlight distribution. I am trying to use XCode Cloud to this all automatically, but it is currently giving me this error: "Invalid Bundle ID. Bundle ID "com.***.YYY" could not be automatically registered because it is not available. Update the bundle ID of your project and try again." I am not sure if this is related to the fact that when I try to associate my XCode Account (XCode -> Settings -> Accounts), I only see my (Personal Team) account even after removing that account and re-adding it. Additionally, when I go my App -> Targets -> Signing & Capabilities and I check / uncheck automatically manage signing. I only see my Personal Team account. When I try to download a Provisioning Profile, I see "No Valid Teams, Unable to Find Any Valid Teams." I need to keep the bundle ID of the project as is because it is associated with a Firebase backend. What should I try next? Thanks!

Our desktop app for macos will be released in 2 channels appstore dmg package on our official website for users to download and install Now when we debug with passkey, we find that the package name of the appstore can normally arouse passkey, but the package name of the non-App Store can not arouse the passkey interface I need your help. Thank you

I have an unpublished app that we use as our development environment, and we need to transfer it to another Apple Developer account. Since the app is not published, the standard App Transfer process in App Store Connect does not apply. Is there any workaround to transfer the app without creating a new developer account, changing the bundle ID, or reconfiguring all the associated certificates and provisioning profiles? We would like to avoid the need to rebuild and reconfigure everything from scratch. Any guidance on this process would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy, I'm trying to figure out how to replicate the following behavior for our app: The system is able to ascertain that the Mac equivalent of some iOS app is installed locally, and it prevents notifications from being mirrored. However, I am unable to determine how this association is inferred. When I check our iOS app under this prefpane, the switch remains enabled and toggleable—we'd like to act like Slack here. My initial assumption is that an app group containing both the Mac and iOS apps can be used to create the association; however, I would like to confirm that this is indeed the case before doing so. I'm not terribly confident about this. Details: The bundle identifiers of both apps do not match. This also applies to Slack; its iOS app is com.tinyspeck.chatlyio while its Mac app is com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap. In our case, the iOS app's identifier is like com.company.app while the Mac app's identifier is com.company.app.desktop. Both apps are signed with certificates that have matching team identifiers. The com.apple.developer.team-identifier entitlement is present on the Mac app. The Mac app shares a keychain access group with the iOS app. The Mac app is not sandboxed. The Mac app is an Electron app. The Mac app does not use APNs. It sends notifications "locally". I currently only have the iOS app installed on my iPhone via TestFlight, if that matters. Notification mirroring does work, but we'd like to forcibly disable this by associating the apps together. To my knowledge, the iOS app makes use of both a UNNotificationServiceExtension and a UNNotificationContentExtension. The iOS app currently doesn't have an assigned category (at least in Xcode). The Mac app is currently miscategorized as a developer tool (LSApplicationCategoryType = "public.app-category.developer-tools";), but that should be fixed. (Redacted) bundle information for the Mac app: CFBundleDisplayName = App; CFBundleExecutable = "App Desktop"; CFBundleName = App; Note that our CFBundleExecutable differs from the bundle's display name/name because we're currently migrating our users to a new version of the app that they'd likely want to live alongside the new one. The filename of the bundle itself is, similarly, App Desktop.app. For the iOS app, to my knowledge, the CFBundleName and CFBundleDisplayName are App.

It'd be great if someone would give an overview of the steps to create a new app from an existing one. Can I copy my Xcode project to get started? After I copy my Xcode project, what do I need to do in Xcode? What do I need to do regarding certificate(s) and bundle id. Are there any steps where order is super important? Feel free, of course, to provide a link to an article and/or video on this as that'd be awesome if the information is current. What I've found online is typically out-of-date or more specific - not an overview.

The mentioned way of setting up complications does not work. We can't create the identifier according to the guideline mentioned in the WWDC session. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10049/?time=1021 Timestamp: 17:04 Error: An attribute in the provided entity has invalid value An App ID with Identifier '.watchkitapp.complication' is not available. Please enter a different string. To clarify - the non masked identifier is not used on another property inside our dev program. Without creating the identifier our tests result in not working push notifications. Error message while testing: discarded as application was not registered. Is the way mentioned in the WWDC session still valid? BR

Hello, I’m facing an issue with enabling In-App Purchases (IAP) for my iOS app, and it’s causing provisioning errors during the build process. Issue: • In Apple Developer Portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, the In-App Purchase capability is checked but grayed out, so I can’t modify it. • In Xcode, under Signing & Capabilities, I don’t see In-App Purchase listed. • When trying to build, I get the following error: Provisioning profile “BillionMines_Dev_Profile” doesn’t include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement. • Automatic signing in Xcode fails with: Xcode failed to provision this target. What I Have Tried: 1. Verified that my App ID is explicitly defined (not a wildcard ID). 2. Regenerated and downloaded a new Provisioning Profile, ensuring it matches my app. 3. Confirmed that In-App Purchase is enabled in App Store Connect under Features. 4. Cleaned the build folder and restarted Xcode. 5. Manually added com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase to my .entitlements file. Questions: • Why is the In-App Purchase option grayed out in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles? • How can I ensure my provisioning profile includes the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement? • Are there additional steps required to fully activate In-App Purchases? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am currently working on an App Transfer from Company A to Company B but can't find any documentation about what happens to existing Siri Shortcuts working via App Extension intents. I have separated the rest of the post in 2 sections: one what summarizes my current understanding and the other with some questions and hypotheses. It would be great to have either someone from Apple to answer that, or someone else share their experience and possibly some documentation that I might have missed. To my understanding, when a new Shortcut is created, it stores the BundleID of the App and of the App Extension to find the application that will execute it afterwards. If I uninstall the App, I can see a message in the Shortcut app that says "This action requires APPNAME but it may not be installed", but I know that after transferring the app the BundleID doesn't change completely, only the team part does. However, it is not possible to test that as this change cannot be done in xCode as far as I know. Another part that seems to play a role here is the info.plist file, but in my situation, there are no entries related to the BundleID. All that being said, I am wondering: Is it possible to perform an app transfer and keep previously created shortcuts working? Is it possible to test this kind of things without having to perform a transfer? I haven't found a way to change the team part of the Bundle ID Is there a place in the documentation that takes care of those things in depth?
