Xcode Cloud fails while exporting archive
Hi, Since Xcode 26.2 beta 1, till now (I thought RC or actual release will solve this issue) I have problems exporting archive to appstore via Xcode Cloud (locally everything works and using Xcode 26.2 I was able to submit app to AppStore). Build is archived successfully but during export I get an error Exporting for App Store Distribution failed. Please download the logs artifact for more information. In xcodebuild-export-archive.log I see multiple attempts & errors like this 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040644840Z 2025-12-13 00:29:33.900 xcodebuild[10889:58988] DVTServices: Sending request 9A4173F4-CD87-4A76-95FC-501B4D11EF22 to <http://172.16.55.70:8089/services/v1/capabilities> for session DVTFoundation.DVTServicesSessionProxy. 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040647258Z Method: POST 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040648780Z 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040650230Z Headers: 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040651730Z { 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040653539Z Accept = "application/vnd.api+json"; 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040655403Z "Accept-Encoding" = "gzip, deflate"; 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040673847Z "Content-Length" = 124; 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040675883Z "Content-Type" = "application/vnd.api+json"; 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040677903Z "User-Agent" = Xcode; 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040681998Z "X-HTTP-Method-Override" = GET; 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040684468Z "X-Xcode-Version" = "26.2 (17C52)"; 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040686326Z } 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040688028Z 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040689711Z Payload: 2025-12-13T08:29:34.040692163Z {"urlEncodedQueryParams":"teamId=8CKLLLC9UE&filter%5BreferenceType%5D=bundle&filter%5BincludeRequestable%5D=true&limit=200"} 2025-12-13T08:29:34.308538247Z 2025-12-13 00:29:34.208 xcodebuild[10889:58988] DVTServices: Received response for 9A4173F4-CD87-4A76-95FC-501B4D11EF22 @ <http://172.16.55.70:8089/services/v1/capabilities>.

Please help me!! Invalid expiration date in profile of summary of review app.ipa content
The profile expiration date is approaching, and no amount of inquiries will solve it. Create a new profile Download a new profile from Xcode Press archive, press Distribute App, press Enterprise, and distribute Invalid expiration date in profile of summary of review app.ipa content I've tried everything that comes out by Googleing profiles, such as regenerating profiles, erasing caches, updating Xcode, updating macOS, deleting existing profile information, etc. Expiration date different from the expiration date of the profile created in that menu is displayed. The expiration date of the profile I created is December 8, 2026, and the previous certificate is January 22, 2026. However, the profile information of the generated ipa is February 12, 2026. So I can't distribute this app because I'm scared, and the expiration date is coming up. Users should have a period of time to update. Get me a novice developer who's choking up.

Can an iOS app programmatically detect if it's built for release or debug?
Is it possible for an iOS app to programmatically detect if its built for TestFlight/App Store distribution versus built for development? The motivation for doing this is so that the app can detect if a push server should send pushes using the Apple production server or the sandbox server - when the app sends the push token to the server, I'd like it to additionally send an indicator to the server so the server knows which of the Apple servers to use. Is there a way to achieve this? TIA

Question About iOS Link Association Behavior and How to Reset App-Link Preferences
Hello, I would like to clarify how link association and app-opening preferences work in iOS, specifically when a user opens a URL in a browser that can be handled by an installed application. I have noticed the following behavior: When a user taps a URL that can be opened by an app, iOS sometimes asks whether to open the link in the app or continue in the browser. After choosing an option once (for example, "Open in App" or "Stay in Browser"), it seems that this preference becomes persistent. Even after deleting the application and reinstalling it, the browser (Safari or third-party browsers) sometimes continues to open the link directly in the browser without asking the user again. In some cases, it appears impossible to reset or clear this association, and the user is not prompted again to choose how the link should be opened. My questions are: How exactly does iOS store link-handling preferences between apps and browsers? Are these preferences saved on the system level, inside Safari, or associated with the app installation itself? Is there a way for a user to manually reset or clear these link-opening associations? Should deleting and reinstalling the app reset these preferences, or is the behavior expected to persist? Is this behavior different for Universal Links, App Clips, or for regular URL scheme associations? This situation is important for us because it affects user experience, and at the moment it is difficult to understand or reproduce the internal logic behind these link associations. Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Using Adhoc Profile for DriverKit show error: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS
We got an app for iPad which has two targets one for the App itself (MainApp target ) and another one for the Driver ( Driver Target ) using DriverKit. The app works fine in Development, but I'm trying to distribute it with adhoc. I've requested the Distribution Entitlement to Apple, after getting it, the App Id for the Driver has the following Capabilities: DriverKit, DriverKit (development), DriverKit USB Transport (development), DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID, In-App Purchase Now in the profile section, I've created a adhoc profile for the Driver AppId (Identifier). Obviously I've also created an Adhoc profile for the Main AppId Finally in the Signing & Capabilities Section I set up the profiles for MainApp target, int the Debug one I set up the Development one and int the Release one I set up the adhoc one. I do the same in the Driver Target, but when I set up the Adhoc one in the Release, I've got a warning: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS. Visit the developer website to create or download a DriverKit profile Also interestingly the Signing Certificate section says: None I also set up the Capabilities for the Driver Target: DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID DriverKit USB Transport ( Development ) Inside these capabilities I set up the vendor ID as dictionary The problem is, if I try to Archive the app I will get the previous Warning message as error: Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS. Visit the developer website to create or download a DriverKit profile. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks

Provisioning profile entitlements
Hi, I am developing a iOS app with Packet Tunnel Provider Network Extension. I manage signing manually. I created a distribution provisioning profile. Then when I archive and click "validate" I get this error: Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that are not supported on iOS. Specifically, value 'url-filter-provider' for key 'com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension' So I run security cms -D -i profiles/vpn_distribution.mobileprovision and I see there <key>Entitlements</key> <dict> <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> <string>url-filter-provider</string> <string>hotspot-provider</string> </array> Where are those coming from. My entitlement file has <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>packet-tunnel-provider</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>group.my-app-group</string> </array> </dict> </plist> What is happening here. How can I get a provisioning profile that only has the entitlements that I actually need?

Provisioning doesn't do case-insensitive match
According to the thread at https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/787500?answerId=863361022#863361022, we should now be able to set VMs provisioning identifiers to run developer builds. However, the identifier check seems to be case-sensitive. I have an identifier from an old VM that was input (automatically via Xcode) to the portal as all-caps. However, now it's showing up as all lower-case (on the device). When I try to launch my application, the system logs report that the provisioning identifer doesn't match, so my application will not launch: # Error log error 13:41:36.173151-0600 taskgated-helper embedded provisioning profile not valid: file:///Applications/my-app.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile error: Error Domain=CPProfileManager Code=-212 "Provisioning profile does not allow this device." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Provisioning profile does not allow this device.} # Device's identifier $ system_profiler SPHardwareDataType Hardware: ... Provisioning UDID: 9d136dc4ae3ce80124756cc5bcb40cd1117c04b6 # Embedded provision (from developer portal) $ security cms -D -i /Applications/my-app.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile <key>ProvisionedDevices</key> <array> <string>9D136DC4AE3CE80124756CC5BCB40CD1117C04B6</string> </array> I have tried disabling the previous record and adding it again (with lower-case) on the developer portal - but all that does is reenable the previous (all-caps) record. Either the check needs to be case-insensitive, or there needs to be a way to change the registration on the developer portal to properly match.

My Apple developer certificates expire soon. Is it necessary to create new certificates?
My Apple developer certificates(4 certificates) expire soon. I'm developing an application for iOS but the application is not yet released in the App Store, only Testflight releases for private testing. Is it necessary to create 4 new certificates or can I edit the current certificates so that they don't expire soon?

Unable to provision target
I have added an in-app purchase function into my app, and have enabled in-app purchase profile in developer portal(it's on by default and is marked gray in developer portal, I don't know if that's how it supposed to look like). I have issued the agreements and tried signing the app both manually and automatically, but neither of that worked. App can be built successfully in simulator but does not show the simulation window, but cannot build on real device or archive. Errors: Missing com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase, com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.non-consumable, and com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.subscription entitlements. Automatic signing failed Xcode failed to provision this target.

Provisioning profile missing com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement
Our app (Bundle ID: org.grapplermobileapp) has the In-App Purchase capability enabled in the Apple Developer portal (checkbox is grayed out and checked). However, any new App Store provisioning profile we create for this App ID is missing the entitlement: com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase We confirmed this by inspecting the .mobileprovision file directly. As a result, all iOS builds fail with the error: Provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement Steps we've already taken: Deleted and re-created provisioning profiles (both automatic via Expo/EAS and manual in Developer portal). Uploaded the profile manually into EAS and rebuilt. Verified the entitlement is missing by searching the .mobileprovision file. Opened a support case (#102688824691). Apple Developer Support escalated, but then replied that In-App Purchase is a capability and not an entitlement, and directed me to the forums. So we’re stuck. The App ID shows IAP enabled, but profiles never include the entitlement, and builds cannot proceed. Has anyone seen this issue where Apple’s system fails to embed com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase into profiles? If so, how was it resolved?

Provision profile doesn't include com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance entitlement
Hi, I'm trying to integrate with Tap to Pay feature under Stripe. For this reason i need to add com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance entitlement to my Identifier. I can see it under Provisioning Profile -> Enabled Capabilities. But after downloading this profile in Xcode I don't see this entitlement. What could be the reason for this discrapency?

AppGroups data loss after App transfer and App update.
Hi, I just released a new version of an app that was transferred from another developer account. The previous version of this app used the App Groups feature to store some important data, and I would like to retrieve that data. In the new version, I’m using the same bundle identifier and the same App Group ID (which has already been deleted from the original developer account). I also added the App Groups entitlement in the project settings and set the same App Group ID. However, I still cannot access the data in the App Group. From the documentation and issues I’ve found, it seems that an app should still have permission to access the same App Group after being transferred. Did I miss something? Thanks!
