Hello. I have an iOS app written in Xamarin, but this issue is not related to Xamarin or Visual Studio. I am trying to deploy my xamarin app onto an iOS device, but I am unable to get the iOS device to install the provisioning profile via Xcode. I work at a company with a decent variety of test devices and the result seems to be the same from iPads to iPods to iPhones of various ages. I have created a certificate and a provisioning profile. The certificate is associated with the provisioning profile on the developer portal. I have imported the certificate (including private keys) into my login keychain on MacOS. I have the .mobileprovision file downloaded to the machine. I am signed into Xcode with my apple developer account. In Xcode, i went to Window > Devices and Simulators and selected my device. I right clicked my device and selected "Show Provisioning Profiles". I clicked the plus and chose my .mobileprovision file. I get the same error on every device: Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device. Please ensure the provisioning profile is configured for this device. If not, please try to generate a new profile.| this is an incredibly vague and unhelpful error. I'm not really sure what it means by "configured for this device". Not sure where to go from here

When I download my provisioning profile I can't find the com.apple.developer.carplay-audio entitlement in it. Here's what I did: For our app identifier on Apple Developer Portal in "Additional Capabilities" I enabled "CarPlay Audio App (CarPlay framework)". After that I generated a provisioning profile and downloaded it. In the provisional profile info on Apple Developer Portal I can see "CarPlay Audio App (CarPlay framework)" in "Enabled Capabilities". When I import the downloaded profile in Xcode, I can't see the CarPlay entitlement there. After I added the "com.apple.developer.carplay-audio" entitlement to my .entitlements file, I'm getting the "Provisioning profile ... doesn't include the com.apple.developer.carplay-audio entitlement.". When I'm opening the profile in my text editor, I also can't find "carplay-audio" there. Is there a way to solve this problem?

When I try to add HealthKit capabilities to my app, I get the following signing errors: Communication with Apple failed. Your account does not have sufficient permissions to modify containers. Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.domain.app" doesn't support the HealthKit capability. Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.domain.app" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.healthkit and com.apple.developer.healthkit.access entitlements. In my developer account, the HK capability is enabled. And the entitlements needed are automatically generated by Xcode when I add HK capability, if I try to add them, it says they're already there. I have automatically managed signing selected. Clinical health records are not enabled for Health Kit. Common solutions like cleaning, derived data, and restarts don't help. Does anybody know what this is?

I am trying to compile Xcode project on an online platform Bitrise. I am facing issue with sign in and provisioning .. after trying 4-5 days I am approaching you. Please solve this. ❌ error: No profiles for 'my app bundle id' were found: Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'my app bundle id'. Automatic signing is disabled and unable to generate a profile. To enable automatic signing, pass -allowProvisioningUpdates to xcodebuild. (in target 'myapp-Development' from project 'myapp') How to enable this "allowProvisioningUpdates" also why it is too difficult to do such processes with apple development.. I tried for android and it compiled successfully in a single attempt. please help.

I would like to know on a mdm managed supervised device, how to force use Safari if a user has non-safari browser set as default. can enforcing safari for a domain or web clip be done? even shortcuts now, when using safari it opens whatever is set as default browser. Ironically if same simple shortcut of open URL with Chrome is created it opens with Chrome, regardless if default browser is set to firefox for example this default browser setting is great for personal use but cause issues now for corporate use for me anybody else figure this out? Also affects certificates for our managed devices

All identifiers updated in summer 2020 has new value for keychain-access-groups - com.apple.token. What is its purpose? What can happen if this value will not be added to entitlements?

I hope the pending antitrust suits force Apple to allow us to sign and provision our own apps for more than a week. For the price paid I should be able to write my own apps and use them without restriction outside of Apple services such as iCloud and so on. I understand distribution restrictions but please kill that 1 week annoyance, give me some level of freedom over my own apps on my own device. Or I hope it’s forced. Cheers and Thanks in advance.

Hello,I am new to ios development. On the internet I have found tutorials how to create a free (restricted) developer account however in this tutorials there are different descriptions how to register an iOS device with the acount in xcode in order to install apps that I develop.Is there any official tutorial from apple how to do this?Or can some member of Apple staff confirm that this tutorial https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/installation/device_provisioning/free-provisioning/ work for Xcode version 9.2, please?Thanks in advancePetra

Hi,my apps run on the iOSSimulator without problems and used to run on devices as well, but after updating to latest XCode-Version I am getting the above error message when trying to run an app on my iPhone 7. It says :"codesign wants to access key "access" in your bunch of keys . To allow this enter your password".... but my apple-Developer-ID-Password doesn't work. And until updating to latest XCode-Version I never had any problems with codesign when running an app on iPhone device.Any hints what's going wrong ?XCode Version 9.1 (9B55)iOS Version 11.1.2 (15B202)Latest High Sierra Version, macbook Pro 2015

(I posted this in the "Distribution >> App Submission and Review" forum 2 days ago but it has not received a response. Trying here...)I had to rebuild my iMac a few months ago and I restored from my Time Machine backup.I now need to make a change to an app but what used to compile without error is now failing at the codesign step with:Signing Identity: "-"As far as I can see, all of the account profiles are valid with expiry dates in the future. The only 'odd' thing is that some have a 'Download' button in the 'Action' column of the 'Provisioning Profiles' seciotn of the account details - when I select the "Download All Profiles" button, they turn grey but never seem to download or disappear (even after aiting for several hours!). Looking at the 'developer' web page, all of my certificates and provisioning profiles are all active.Any ideas welcomedThanksSusan
