I'm having a problem with codesign for output from Pyinstaller The files are in ~/PycharmProjects/ALP_Document_Factory_II That folder contains the icon file, the entitlement file, and also contains a "dist" folder where Pyinstaller places the app file (ALP_Document_Factory_II.app) The generated app works and runs when I double click it. When I run codesign: codesign -s xxxxxxxx -f --entitlements entitlements.plist -o runtime dist/ALP_Document_Factory_II.app ("xxxxxxx" is where I place the hash of my credential) I get the following error message: No such file or directory Here is the Terminal copy... minus my Hash dickl45@Dicks-iMac3 ALP_Document_Factory_II % codesign -s xxxxxxxxxx -f --entitlements entitlements.plist -o runtime dist/ALP_Document_Factory_II.app dist/ALP_Document_Factory_II.app: No such file or directory Earlier I was able to use codesign and notarytool, but I must be doing something wrong that I can't see. Yours baffled MacOs 15.2

Quinn, in your post "App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Fight!", you mention that an app must meet at least one of four criteria to access an app group container without user intervention: Your app is deployed via the Mac App Store (A). Or via TestFlight when running on macOS 15.1 or later (B). Or the app group ID starts with your app’s Team ID (C). Or your app’s claim to the app group is authorised by a provisioning profile embedded in the app (D) [1]. Our app is distributed directly (Developer ID), so it doesn't meet the first two criteria. We already had the app group ID set up to match the iOS ID (without our Team ID) and changing it now would affect our users already-stored data, so criteria C isn't really an option either. That brings us to criteria D. We've added the App Groups Capability to our App ID on the Developer site and creating a Developer ID provisioning profile with this App ID. However, for some reason the App Group Capability is not included in the provisioning profile. How then do we go about satisfying criteria D ("your app’s claim to the app group is authorised by a provisioning profile embedded in the app (D)")? If this is impossible, how can we migrate our user's data away from the affected container?

Hi, We are developing software that configures a network extension via a system extension on MacOS. The host application (run as service) enables network extension and system extension capabilities. It registers the network extension. The network extension has network extension capabilities and configures an app-group to be bundled into the service. What we have built is already working, i.e. we build, sign, notarize and ship the code (it's already running on hundreds of SIP enabled customer devices in production). But, we are currently falling back to manual profile management (i.e. download and import the profile) so that Xcode accepts the entitlements suffixed with -systemextention. Recently we are testing deployment on iOS devices. For iOS profiles we cannot overcome the issues with setting the profile manually, XCode complains about mismatching networkextension entitlements even when manually importing the profile. So I thought I get to the bottom of why automated signing is not working and hopefully overcome the issues with iOS. Upon configuring automatic signing we ran into the following problem: For a network extension that is installed via a system extension the network extension capabilities are expected to be defined with a -systemextension suffix, i.e.: <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>packet-tunnel-provider-systemextension</string> <string>app-proxy-provider-systemextension</string> <string>content-filter-provider-systemextension</string> <string>dns-proxy-systemextension</string> <string>dns-settings</string> <string>relay</string> When using automated signing the profile in our development account reflects these settings, i.e. the profile is correctly generated with the values above. However, XCode complains that the network extension capabilities don't match. I went as far as to configuring a new application-ID so that XCode would generate a new profile in the development account. I then downloaded and decoded the generated profile. The capabilities of the development portal profile were created as expected (as above), but somehow, the locally generated profile that is generated by XCode auto-sign expects: <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>app-proxy-provider</string> <string>content-filter-provider</string> <string>packet-tunnel-provider</string> <string>dns-proxy</string> <string>dns-settings</string> <string>relay</string> What XCode auto-sign expects is not reflected in the development account profile (!). I tried to overcome this by changing the entitlements of the project to omit the -systemextension suffix. XCode auto-sign seemingly works then, but once the application is actually signed by CodeSign the signing fails because the capabilities don't match with the development account profile. I tried profile re-generation by clearing Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles, but it always results in the same problem - either XCode is happy and the code signing fails when building, or the other way round. Bottom Line: I think that somehow XCode evaluates the profile validity differently from CodeSign; somehow when using automatic signing XCode does not take the network extension + system extension into account, but only expects the capabilities of the network extension. If anybody know how to overcome this problem please help :)

I keep having issues with my account. I have certificates that will not revoke. I create new certificates, then I create new profiles for development, distribution and for developer ID application distribution outside of the app store as well. With my app in Xcode, I can only get the Developer profile to work to allow builds. My distribution profile builds and then fails, with an error 5. The Developer ID Application profile will not even accept the profile in XCode, sighting that there is no code signing, yet I have checked things over and over again. Ontop of this, I had developers in the past in my team and they added a whole lot of certificates for Developer ID that I just cannot use now. I also cannot revoke them. I have no active apps on the app store now, so I was wondering if Apple or someone can assist me in removing ALL the certificates, all the profiles and get a clean slate, so that I can setup everything from scratch again, because I have lost countless of hours getting nowhere and I cannot get Apple support to assist? Anyone been through this before?

When connected to the company's internal network without accessing the Internet, can an IPA installation package be generated if the certificate files are imported in advance?

After updating Xcode my app stoped running on real device

I’m trying to fix an issue with a pipeline that automatically distributes an app to the App Store (TestFlight). Unfortunately, universal links don’t work because the .entitlements file in the build doesn’t include the specified associated domains, even though they are defined. I’ve double-checked the certificates, provisioning profiles, and Xcode settings — everything seems correct. Therefore, I assume the issue lies in the build commands, which are as follows: Create Archive xcodebuild -workspace ios/ClientDomain.xcworkspace -scheme ClientDomain archive -sdk iphoneos -configuration ClientDomain -archivePath ios/ClientDomain.xcarchive CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="Apple Distribution: Company Name (XXXXXXXXXX)" PROVISIONING_PROFILE=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=No Export Archive xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath ios/ClientDomain.xcarchive -exportPath ios -exportOptionsPlist ios/exportOptions.plist I also want to provide files I use, in order to make sure I don't have any mistakes: ClientDomain.entitlements &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.developer.associated-domains&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;applinks:www.site.com&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;webcredentials:www.site.com&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; exportOptions.plist &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;destination&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;export&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;generateAppStoreInformation&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;manageAppVersionAndBuildNumber&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;method&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;app-store-connect&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;provisioningProfiles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.bundle.app&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;signingCertificate&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Apple Distribution: Company Name (XXXXXXXXXX)&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;signingStyle&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;manual&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;stripSwiftSymbols&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;teamID&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;XXXXXXXXXX&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;testFlightInternalTestingOnly&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;uploadSymbols&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; I'm curious, how people usually distribute their apps to App Store. What if I do something wrong?

Hello there, Apologies for this most basic question!. We have an iOS application and no developers left to work on it. That is fine as we are not planning on making any changes to the app for a long time, however, we have just received an email stating that our "iOS Distribution Certificate" is due to expire soon. We have looked through the documentation but it is very technical. Firstly, what I am trying to understand is: The only options we have under "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" on the Apple Developer web site are "Download" and "Revoke". Do we have to "Revoke" the certificate before creating a new one? If so, won't this stop the released app from working? Is it possible to just re-create the certificates from the Apple Developer web site without re-releasing the iOS app? Or do you have to sign the app with the new certificates in XCode and re-release it? Many thanks!

Hi, Our organization develops a Mac app and distributes it our of the Mac store. We have been creating App.dmg files for this and signed it with the Developer ID Application certificate and uploaded them for notarization using "xcrun notarytool". Everything was working fine until we created a new Developer ID Installer certificate to test the new App.pkg installer and uploaded it for notarization to the Apple server. It's been 3 days now and our production pipeline is stuck because all the submissions remain in In-Progress state and do not proceed further. Details of the submission:- createdDate: 2025-01-03T06:44:20.306Z id: 7af70d77-1bab-4b17-aeba-7ddc75c030f9 name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.pkg status: In Progress Since then, no submission(even for .dmg files) are processing through. I’ve raised a ticket with the support team as well, but it hasn’t helped. What more can we try to get out of this hole?

Hello, I've developed an application using Electron with Javacript. I have managed to deploy to both Windows and the web but having trouble deploying the application to my Mac users. It's my first time deploying an application for Mac but feel like I'm stuck at the last hurdle and out of ideas so I'm reaching out for help. My application is successfully signing but during the build and when my Notarize.js is running it seems to get stuck indefinitely. I can check and see the status of the Notarize attempts but they seem to be stuck "In Progress". Here are the logs.

I have received email about your development certificate has been revoked, but couldn't identify who did that, due to this revocation one of our enterprise application stopped working. So posting here to seek some suggestion on following 1.) Identification of Revoking Party: Though I have already raised a support ticket to Apple still waiting for their reply. Is it possible for Apple to send logs or account activity logs that from which account or who did the revocation? 2.) How much does Apple take to reply to the support tickets. 3.) No one else received email in my development team. Is it because the certificate which I created is revoked that's the reason only I have received email? 4.) May I know what are the other scenarios that certificate can be revoked other than a human error? 5.) Is there a way for us to internally monitor activity within our developer account, such as identifying who has been actively logged in and updating certificates?

I've made an MacOS app with Unity Cloud Build and I want to sign and distribute it using App Store Connect. I download the compiled .app file and use codesign to sign all the appropriate files. I also use an entitlements file when I sign the runtime binary. I used the command codesign -d --entitlements on the resulting .app file to confirm that com.apple.security.app-sandbox is set to true, which it is. But when I use productbuild to create the .pkg file and upload it using Transporter, I get an e-mail from App Store Connect saying that "ITMS-90296: App sandbox not enabled" I don't know how to further debug this... Does anyone have any pointers on how to fix this? Note: it has to be doable either via the Unity Editor, Unity Build Cloud or the MacOS CLI... Codesign showing that app-sandbox is enabled: The error from App Store Connect:

My app has been "In Progress" for over a day. It's release date and these absurd behaviours are happening. Hasn't Apple been able to fix this? We're approaching 2025 with issues that have been happening since 2023. Are these guys serious or they just ignore these issues?

hi I am using fastlane and match to upload an app to test flight. The app requires com.apple.developer.storekit.external-link.account to be activated. My identifier has activated the capabilities and when I look at provisional profile, it also has it, but when the app has been uploaded, it's missing (although all other entitlements are there). Now it gets weird: Every time I run my flow I delete derived data, deletes all downloaded provisional profiles and use match to redownload them with read only (force is not an option). It does not work. I go to Apple dev and Toggles the capability off and on and saves. This invalidates the profile. I press edit and save. So no real changes. Run my flow and the app is uploaded correctly WITH the correct capabilities. Runs the flow again without the manual steps and the entitlements will be missing once again. Repeats the toggle stuff and the subsequent behavior repeats itself. Same flow and same code and same settings, app and profile.... I am building automated flows so this does not really work for me.... Heeeelp...

I have a bizzare issue with my Apple TV that is shown as "iPod" in Apple developer portal. It's correctly visible in Xcode as Apple TV, but when I add it to developer portal it says "iPod". The problem is since it's there as an iPod I can't use it to my provisioning profile to build on the device Anyone has any idea how this can be solved? [Edited by Moderator]
