Device "..." isnt' registered in your developer account
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?

Xcode 26: Unable to get past "Automatic signing failed"
Xcode failed to provision this target. Please file a bug report at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com and include the Update Signing report from the Report navigator. Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.OctaneBuddy.ios" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.foundation-models entitlement. Getting pretty upset at not being able to deploy and test on my phone :/ Works just fine with another project/app though.

Provisioning Profile Missing In-App Purchase Entitlement (Despite Capability Enabled)
I'm facing a persistent issue with provisioning profiles not including the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement, even though the In-App Purchase capability is clearly enabled in the Developer Portal for my app. What I’ve already done: Confirmed that the In-App Purchase capability is enabled in the App ID configuration Deleted all provisioning profiles locally (~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles) Regenerated both Development and App Store provisioning profiles from scratch Tried Xcode's automatic signing (after properly registering the device) Verified the provisioning profiles via Terminal (security cms -D -i ...) — the IAP entitlement is missing every time Recreated valid distribution and development certificates Cleaned the Xcode project and settings The result: Every attempt to build or archive the app in Xcode returns: Missing entitlement: com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase I've also opened a support case with Apple, but so far I’ve only been redirected to general documentation. Has anyone encountered this recently? Is there a known delay or sync issue on Apple’s side when enabling capabilities? Can the provisioning profile or entitlement data be manually refreshed by Apple? Is there any workaround that worked for you in this situation?

App Store Connect API
As of June 9, 2025 we are no longer able to automate the creation of our offline provisioning profiles that we used to do on a weekly basis for testing of our internal products offline. I am not sure if the isOfflineProfile was an undocumented attribute that we were using, or if it was deprecated or if the removal of that capability was an oversight. The release notes for 4.0 of the API don't mention a deprecation. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/app-store-connect-api-4-0-release-notes When making the request to the v1/profiles endpoint to create the provisioning profile we now receive the following response: { "status": "409", "code": "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.UNKNOWN", "title": "The provided entity includes an unknown attribute", "detail": "'isOfflineProfile' is not an attribute on the resource 'profiles'", "source": { "pointer": "/data/attributes/isOfflineProfile" } }

Xcode Cloud MacOS app with restricted capability - cannot run tests
Xcode Cloud is unable to run unit tests for a MacOS target after adding a restricted capability (keychain-access-groups). Have tried setting both manual and automatic signing (with a Mac OS development profile). The tests run on my locally fine, but when pushed to Xcode Cloud the crash report indicates a Code Signing Issue, downloading the Artifact for Test Products for AppTests and viewing the app contents I noted that when built locally embedded.provisionprofile appears within the App/Contents that doesn't appear in Xcode Cloud. To reproduce, create a new MacOS app with a test plan, run a Test job (successfully runs) then add the capability for Keychain Sharing: <array> <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.transmedics.RemoteView.group</string> </array> to the entitlements. Run the job again and tests with the project fails in Xcode Cloud, with code signing issues in the crash report.

How to Share Provisioning Profiles with Customers for macOS App Distribution
I am distributing a macOS application outside the App Store using Developer ID and need to provide provisioning profiles to customers for installation during the package installation process. I have two questions: How can I package and provide the provisioning profile(s) so that the customer can install them easily during the application installation process? Are there any best practices or tools that could simplify this step? In my case, there are multiple provisioning profiles. Should I instruct the customer to install each profile individually, or is there a way to combine them and have them installed all at once? Any guidance on the best practices for this process would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to Start macOS VM via Virtualization API in a Sandboxed Launchd Service
I’m encountering an issue when trying to start a macOS VM using Apple’s Virtualization framework in a sandboxed environment. When I create a standalone Xcode project, the VM launches successfully. However, when I integrate the same code into my existing project—where the VM is launched by a service started via launchd and running in a sandbox—it fails with the following error: Internal Virtualization Error: Failed to issue USB HCI sandbox extension To resolve this, I tried adding the com.apple.security.device.usb entitlement. But after doing that, the app started crashing with the following trace : Application Specific Signatures: SYSCALL_SET_USERLAND_PROFILE Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libsystem_secinit.dylib 0x19a7141bc _libsecinit_appsandbox.cold.9 + 84 1 libsystem_secinit.dylib 0x19a713324 _libsecinit_appsandbox + 2080 2 libsystem_trace.dylib 0x18c2326cc _os_activity_initiate_impl + 64 3 libsystem_secinit.dylib 0x19a712ab0 _libsecinit_initializer + 80 4 libSystem.B.dylib 0x19a72a32c libSystem_initializer + 280 5 dyld 0x18c162efc invocation function for block in dyld4::Loader::findAndRunAllInitializers(dyld4::RuntimeState&) const + 444 6 dyld 0x18c19f864 invocation function for block in dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::forEachInitializer(Diagnostics&, dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::VMAddrConverter const&, void (unsigned int) block_pointer, void const*) const + 324 7 dyld 0x18c1bf58c invocation function for block in mach_o::Header::forEachSection(void (mach_o::Header::SectionInfo const&, bool&) block_pointer) const + 240 8 dyld 0x18c1bc318 mach_o::Header::forEachLoadCommand(void (load_command const*, bool&) block_pointer) const + 208 9 dyld 0x18c1bda58 mach_o::Header::forEachSection(void (mach_o::Header::SectionInfo const&, bool&) block_pointer) const + 124 10 dyld 0x18c19f334 dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::forEachInitializer(Diagnostics&, dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::VMAddrConverter const&, void (unsigned int) block_pointer, void const*) const + 516 11 dyld 0x18c162cb4 dyld4::Loader::findAndRunAllInitializers(dyld4::RuntimeState&) const + 176 12 dyld 0x18c16e530 dyld4::PrebuiltLoader::runInitializers(dyld4::RuntimeState&) const + 44 13 dyld 0x18c1848b0 dyld4::APIs::runAllInitializersForMain() + 88 14 dyld 0x18c147e00 dyld4::prepare(dyld4::APIs&, mach_o::Header const*) + 3092 15 dyld 0x18c1471d8 dyld4::start(dyld4::KernelArgs*, void*, void*)::$_0::operator()() const + 236 16 dyld 0x18c146b4c start + 6000 I suspect this might be due to the provisioning profile, which doesn’t seem to include the required entitlement. However, I haven’t found a way to explicitly add this entitlement to the provisioning profile. My questions are: How can I add com.apple.security.device.usb to the provisioning profile? Is there a way to confirm that adding this entitlement would resolve the issue? Are there recommended steps to debug and test Virtualization framework usage in a sandboxed environment (especially when launched as a service)? I also tried disabling SIP and AMFI, but the crash still occurs. Is there a better way to work around or test this in development? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
