Hi,
I'm using Xcode 15.4. (always export as "Ad Hoc" with automatic signing) and just ran into a weird problem when I tried to run my app with the "play" button on a new iOS 18 iPhone: The build fails every time with the following error message in the "Signing & Capabilities" tab:
Device "..." isnt' registered in your developer account.
I added the iPhone's UDID to my developer account yesterday but I'm still getting the same error today. There's a "Register Device" button below the error message and when I click it, there are two new errors:
There is a problem with the request entity: A device with number '...' already exists on this team.
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: ...." doesn't include the currently selected device "...." (Identifier ...)
The "try again" button below the first part doesn't do anything.
How do I fix this?

I am experiencing a problem building an app. I am struggling to find out how to fix the issue.
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: my-bundle-identifier-here" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement.
In Xcode 16.2 building an app with a minimum iOS deployment of iOS 16.6.
In Developer, my Provisioning Profile says:
Enabled Capabilities = In-App Purchase
Status = Active
Expires = 2026/04/02
Is anyone able to shed light on this for me please?
We request your support in enabling the extended entitlement feature for our team when creating provisioning profiles. This is because we need to include the ApplePay In-App Provisioning Development extended entitlement in our Bancoagricola app.
Currently, when creating new provisioning profiles, the screen to configure Additional Entitlements is not displayed for our team. However, we have verified with our provider HST (https://hst.com.br/) that this screen does appear in their Apple account.
Thank you very much for your support.

I cannot create a provisioning profile to run my Mac Catalyst app on a macOS 26 VM for my project with automatically manage signing (Xcode Managed Profile) enabled. I keep getting an error that “There is a problem with the request entity A device with number '' already exists on this team.” Disabling the device in Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles does not work; I get the prompt to register the device on the next build but it results in the same error. “Download Manual Profiles” does not work, either.
Additionally, in developer beta 2 (macOS build 25A5295e, Xcode build 17A5241o), I now get a second error message that Provisioning profile "Mac Catalyst Team Provisioning Profile: doesn't include the currently selected device "Virtual Machine" (identifier ).
Clearing out the existing files in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles/ didn’t work either.
Steps to reproduce:
Create and set up a macOS 26 VM in the latest version of UTM for Mac
Install Xcode 26 in the VM and sign into your Apple ID in Xcode preferences
Open a Mac Catalyst app’s Xcode project and attempt to build it
An alert comes up that the device is not registered in the developer account. Click the Register button to register it
The process fails with the error mentioned above and it’s impossible to build for Mac Catalyst after this point. (Sign to Run Locally is not an option for me because I use entitlements that remove that option)
I would appreciate any advice on how to get this working. Hopefully I will not have to create an entirely new macOS 26 VM. Thank you!
I’m trying to enable Background Modes (specifically for audio, background fetch, remote notifications) in my iOS SwiftUI app, but I’m getting this error:
Provisioning profile “iOS Team Provisioning Profile: [my app]” doesn’t include the UIBackgroundModes entitlement.
On the developer website when I make the provision profile It doesnt give me the option to allow background modes.
I added it to the sign in capabilities seccion in X code and matched the bundle ID to the provision profile and certificate etc but it still runs this error because the provision profile doesnt have the entitlements..

Good afternoon,
I have the latest version of Xcode. I am trying to debug why I am not able to Sign in with Apple Sign In on my app. After days of trying everything I just noticed today that the TeamID Xcode is using to automatically sign the app is not my current Team Id. I had a years hiatus and my code login expired. When I recreated my account I got a new Team Id and that is what is on all my certificates, profiles, etc. Old team id: Z82SJZ64R6 Current team id: 22649D52Q5. I take off automatically signing and select my Mac app bistro and iOS app distro and the app fully builds then Xcode crashes with an error that mentions security - Error code 5.
Is there a way for me to change the old team id in Xcode? I've already tried logging out and back in through settings.

Hi! I'm trying to add Sign in with Apple to my macOS app. I enabled this capability from the developer portal and created the corresponding certificate & provisioning profile (both of type Developer ID Application.) However, Xcode keeps prompting me that the profile doesn't support Sign in with Apple.
If I enable Automatically manage signing from Xcode, I can build and run the app but not distribute. If I turn it off and use the profile I got, it just keeps showing the errors below and doesn't even let me build.

Signing Certificates
I encountered code signing issue with Apple Distribution certificate for both iOS and MacCatalyst. The app crashes with "Beta Profile".
I followed this instruction to manually re-sign my ipa to confirm that I use the Apple Distribution and the correct Provisioning Profile.
https://gist.github.com/WDUK/4239548f76bd77b2c4b0
When I double click on the Apple Distribution certificate in KeyChain Access, it shows "Extension: Apple Mac App Signing (Development)" and "Extension: Apple Developer Certificate (Submission)"
I have been stuck in this issue for more than a month. I really need help because I do not know how to proceed further.
Thank you.

I'm running into an issue during the iOS build process for my app, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
❗ The Problem
When attempting to archive the app via EAS Build (Expo), the build fails with the following error:
`Provisioning profile "HCF_AppStore_ProvisioningProfile" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.push-notifications entitlement. Profile qualification is using entitlement definitions that may be out of date. Connect to network to update.`
What I’ve Already Done:
Enabled Push Notifications capability for the App ID (com.rsmco.helpcreatefamilies) in the Apple Developer portal.
Deleted and regenerated the App Store Provisioning Profile after enabling the capability.
Confirmed the new profile is associated with the correct App ID and Distribution Certificate.
Uploaded the new profile to EAS (Expo) and rebuilt the app.
Yet the error persists during the Xcode archive step with Exit code 65.
Additional Info:
Provisioning Profile Name: HCF_AppStore_ProvisioningProfile
App ID: com.rsmco.helpcreatefamilies
Team: Reproductive Sciences Management Company, LLC
Workflow: Expo EAS Build
Capability causing issue: com.apple.developer.push-notifications

I have an app that runs as a status bar app, mostly. I have set the following in the info.plist file for the app:
<key>Application is agent (UIElement)</key>
<true/>
However, I get a compile error:
Provisioning profile Mac Team Provisioning Profile: yout.Drive doesn't include the Application is agent (UIElement) entitlement.
Checking the entitlements, I do not see this entitlement anywhere. Where and how do I set this?
We have created provisioning profile from apple developer account for our iPadOS app, the expiry date shown in the profile is 20-Aug-2026. However, when when I build the app with this provisional profile the expiry date shown in the app is 6-May-2026. My Certification expires on 2027. I see a embeded.mobileprovision profile inside the app, and it has an expiry of 6-May-2026. I did a clean build, cleared unnecessary profiles from profile folder, created a new provisional profile and tried, but nothing seems help.
We have a few apps, and no other app has this issue, only those two apps have this issue. As the expiry date the shorten, we also need to special handle these two apps, Will you please help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks.
Hello Apple support,
A few days ago, I received an e-mail granting the entitlement for Critical Alerts to my app VIAWEB Mobile, bundle ID br.com.viawebsystem.VIAWEBservice . This was my second attempt: in the first time I requested the entitlement for all our apps, but it was denied. This time I requested for just our main app, and now it was approved.
I have just followed several tutorials and instructions available on the Internet, but I couldn't enable this capability in my app. What I tried and where I stopped:
In my Xcode 16.4, target "VIAWEB Mobile", Signing & Capabilities, All: unchecked the Automatic manage signing and checked again, selected the correct Team. In the iOS section, Xcode Managed Profile, click in the little "i" and there is no Critical Alerts in the Capabilities list, nor com.apple.developer.usernotifications.critical-alerts in the Entitlements list. And so, there is no Critical Alerts in the "+ Capability" window.
If I go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Identifiers, and click to edit my App ID Configuration, there is no Critical Alerts to enable in the Capabilities list. In Capability Requests, I just see the plus sign next to Critical Alerts (to make an additional request), and the status Approved when I click on View Requests (2).
Can you provide me with updated instructions on how I can enable this entitlement for my app?
Thank you! Best regards,
The VIAWEB Developer Team.
I have developed multiple applications in the past using windows Visual studio 2022 and have never had any issues during development. However this time I am receiving the same error The specified iOS provisioning profile '{profile}' could not be found. Please enable Automatic Provisioning from the iOS Bundle Signing page. Everytime I try to deploy even though I can see that all the appropriate entries are in my apple developer portal, and I can see the profiles have been automatically downloaded to my computer. (The App identifier also matches the one establisehd in the apple developer portal and is linked to the profile).
The only thing I can think of, is that my renewal of my developer account got rejected by my bank at first, but on another attempt (about 2 weeks ago) it all went through fine.
I am trying to update an old UIKit/CoreData app and am (among other changes) adding CloudKit synchronization support. I enabled CloudKit (ie, set up a new CloudKit domain, enabled CloudKit, Background Mode Remote Notifications, and Push Notifications.
When I did this, automatic code signing failed. (see attached for the messages). I tried creating and downloading a new provisioning profile, but that did not help.
FB19742743
Can someone help me? I have absolutely no idea of what to do next to get this app signed (and hopefully back into the AppStore soon).

Hi,
I need to bundle an additional binary along my yet published application.
It is a Audio Unit test application.
My yet published application implemented Audio Unit plugin support.
But upload is always rejected:
Validation failed (409)
Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle com.gsequencer.GSequencer [com.gsequencer.GSequencer.pkg/Payload/com.gsequencer.GSequencer.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate.] For more information, visit the macOS Developer Portal. (ID: ****)
I have followed the instructions here: Embedding a helper tool in a sandboxed app
but no luck. Does anyone know whats going on?
I use Transporter to upload the application, the embedded.provisioningprofile is copied from Xcode build and code signing is done manually.

Hello,
I’m having trouble enabling Background Location updates on my iOS app.
Xcode: 26.0 beta
Team: Individual Developer Program (paid, activated recently)
Device: iPhone (physical device, registered and provisioned)
Problem
When building to device, I get the error:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.mybundle.id" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.background-modes entitlement.
Automatic signing failed.
On the simulator the build succeeds, but on device the signing fails unless I remove the background-modes entitlement from .entitlements.
What I tried
Enabled Background Modes → Location updates in Signing & Capabilities (UI only).
Info.plist contains UIBackgroundModes = location and the required NSLocation…UsageDescription keys.
Cleaned Derived Data, removed cached provisioning profiles (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles).
Changed Bundle Identifier to force regeneration of provisioning profiles.
Deleted and recreated provisioning profiles from Xcode.
Tried both with and without manual .entitlements edits.
Current status
Provisioning profile shows only App Groups, In-App Purchase, Push Notifications.
Entitlements section in the downloaded profile is missing com.apple.developer.background-modes.
As a result, background location cannot be enabled on device.
Question
Is this a known issue with Xcode 16/26 beta or with Individual Developer accounts?
How can I get com.apple.developer.background-modes included in my provisioning profile so that location tracking continues while the screen is locked?
Thank you.

Hi,
I am experiencing an issue where Xcode displays a "Provisioning profile doesn't support the capability" error for the User Assigned Device Name capability, despite it being approved by Apple and visible in our provisioning profile on the Developer Portal.
Background
We have completed and submitted the required capability request form to Apple for the User Assigned Device Name capability and received approval. The capability appears correctly in our provisioning profile on the Apple Developer Portal and shows among the enabled capabilities alongside other standard capabilities like In-App Purchase and Push Notifications.
Issue
However, Xcode consistently displays the error message when trying to enable the User Assigned Device Name capability in our project settings, preventing successful builds with this functionality.
Troubleshooting Steps Attempted
We have tried multiple troubleshooting steps including:
Regenerating provisioning profiles
Performing clean builds
Clearing DerivedData
Manually installing profiles
Adding the com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name entitlement manually to our entitlements file
Toggling automatic signing on and off
Environment Details
Xcode Version: 16.4 (16F6)
iOS Deployment Target: iOS 13
Profile Type: Distribution provisioning profile
Capability: User Assigned Device Name
Despite the capability being approved by Apple and visible in our provisioning profile, Xcode does not recognize it. This appears to be a synchronization issue between the Apple Developer Portal and Xcode's capability validation system.
Has anyone encountered similar issues with recently approved capabilities, specifically the User Assigned Device Name capability? Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this capability recognition issue? Any suggestions for resolving this discrepancy between the Developer Portal and Xcode would be greatly appreciated.
