Pkg installation package uploaded to macstore email prompt ITMS-90296
Project Background: I developed a Mac project using Electron and VSCode Successfully uploaded the packaged pkg using Transporter, However, I will receive an email informing me that there are some issues with the project: ITMS-90296: App sandbox not enabled - The following executors must include the 'com. apple. security. app sandbox' entitlement with a Boolean value of true in the entitlement property list: [[com. electron. iflyrecclient. pkg/Payload/iFlytek Listen. app/Contents/MacOS/iFlytek Listen]] ITMS-90886: 'Cannot be used with TestFlight because the signature for the bundle at' iFlytek hears. app 'is missing an application identifier but has an application identifier in the provisioning profile for the bundle.' Bundles with application identifiers in the provisioning profile are expected to have the same identifier signed into the bundle in order to be eligible for TestFlight.' Here is my packaging process: Generate an app using the electron packager tool Sign the app using @ electron osx sign (version 1.3.1) After signing, use productbuild - component Yourappname App/Applications - sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: * * * * * (XXXXXXXXXX)" Yourappname. pkg command generates pkg PS: For the second step, I have set sand box=true in both entitlents.plist and entitlents.macinheriting. plist. And after signing, using codesign -dvvv -- entitiements - /path to view the app file shows' checkbox=true ', and the [iFlytek Listen. app/Contents/MacOS/iFlytek Listen] file in the issue also exists. Using the Suspicious Package software to view pkg also has sandbox=true. A few months ago, I uploaded it once and the issues mentioned in the email did not appear. The only changes were the macOS system version number and the replacement of the signature with provisionprofileprovisionprofile. I have reviewed similar issues on the Apple Developer Forums, but have not been resolved

My new provisioning profiles are broken
I've updated Xcode to 16.1, then I've created a new provisioning profile in developer.apple.com, successfully built and signed my application. It was on monday, 2024-11-04. Two or three days later I was asked to add more devices and I had to create a new profile. I've noticed a new feature to control profile's name (yeah, cool!), had to accept new agreements. Then, have created a new profile, downloaded it, but could not add it with double-click to Xcode or import to Keychain Access - "Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device". And whatever I tried, I couldn't register any new profiles since. Therefore, my app cannot be signed and tested anymore. This is quite weird as nothing has changed on the system throughout the week. Is this a known issue or is there any fix for that?

Couldn't download provisioning profiles
Hi! I'm having troubles to sign my Xamarin Forms application, im getting the following error "Error : Could not find any available provisioning profiles for MyProject.iOS on iOS.". I've recently cleaned my Provisioning profiles folder ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles since it wasn't being updated with my latest provisioning profile for my app. But now my provisioning profiles are not being downloaded, I'm not getting any other error on downloading profiles. I've tried from Xcode -> Settings -> Account -> Download manual profiles. Tried too open the profile downloaded from the Apple Developer Portal, also tried copy manually the provisioning profile downloaded to the previous mentioned path, none of those works. The user that im logged in on Xcode is the admin/owner so is not a permissions issue. IDK what can be wrong or what can I try. So I'm going to be grateful for your help :(

Device UDID duplicated 6 times in Enterprise Account Devices list
Sometime since July 2024 the list of devices in our Enterprise Account is showing the same device and UDID 6 times. Looking at the DATE REGISTERED field it is apparent that each instance of the device represents the 'old' device that should have been 'deleted' when the annual device reset was actioned. The date registered field shows dates with 2019, 2020, 2021, and so till 2024 (most recent). I have 'disabled' two of the entries to see what happens, and those instances were disabled as expected without impacting the other instances. However, when attempting a re-enable of them, an error throws saying that they cant be enabled because that UDID already exists - obviously the other instances. For now, I have left 4 active duplicates in place, and the 2 disabled ones as they are, and plan to deal with this again - if it re-occurs in 2025. It does not seem to have impacted provisioing profiles - so will leave well enough alone. I am sure if I disable all of them, I will not be able to re-enabled any of them. Is this a know issue? Is this the best strategy? - ie, wait till device reset next year and hope issue is resolved. This post had similar issue, in 2023, but no response Forum Post 733264

Team ID suddenly changed
I developed it as Unity. Originally, I updated Unity to the latest version to fix the problem of not being able to log in to Apple. That's when I found out my team ID had changed. The current Apple membership team ID is HBEMGSUAQ3, When I check "Automatically manage sing" in Xcode Selected with the team ID "ESB392LR64". Where did this team come from all of a sudden? I've only used "HVEMGSUAQ3" for a very long time. The change in ID was a test build while developing another project yesterday, but it changed then. If I manually select the provisioning profile of my project "Failed to install embedded profile for : 0xe800801f (Attempted to install a Beta profile without the proper entitlement.)" This error appears and the test installation is not possible.. So I created a new certificate, identifier, and profile. However, it continues to be created with the ID of "ESB392LR64". Keychain registration is also naturally registered with "ESB392LR64" status. Again, my team ID is "HVEMGSUAQ3" and there is no way to check "ESB392LR64" on my dev page... This situation suddenly appeared when my certificates were updated with the ID of "ESB392LR64" on June 12, and What I suspect is that I updated my MacBook to the latest version of OS on the day of the issue. Please let me know what's going on. I'm hoping it's not a big deal....

Persistent File Access Prompt in macOS 15 for Ad-Hoc Signed Apps Using App Groups
Hello everyone, We develop an app called Unite (bundle ID: com.BZG.Unite), which allows users to create standalone macOS applications from websites. These user-generated apps are based on a backend browser template called DefaultApp (bundle ID: com.bzg.default.app). Here's how our setup works: Unite and DefaultApp: Both are signed with our Developer ID and include necessary provisioning profiles and entitlements. User-Created Apps: When a user creates an app with Unite, it generates a customized version of DefaultApp with the user's chosen name and settings. These apps are ad-hoc signed upon creation to reflect their unique identity. Issue Since updating to macOS 15, every time a user launches a created app, they encounter a persistent prompt asking for permission to access files outside the app's container. Granting full disk access in System Preferences suppresses the prompt, but this is not a practical solution for end-users. Upon launching a user-created app (e.g., "ExampleTest"), the following prompt appears: This prompt appears on every launch of the app. Steps to Reproduce On a Mac running macOS 15, create a new app using Unite (e.g., "ExampleTest"). Launch the newly created app. Observe the prompt requesting access to files outside the app's container. Close and relaunch the app; the prompt appears again. What We Have Tried Given that our apps use an app group (group.BZG.unite.sharedData) to share data between Unite, DefaultApp, and user-created apps, we believe this is triggering the prompt due to changes in System Integrity Protection (SIP) in macOS 15. We are further confident given that if the user does not allow access, the app does launch, but shows an error indicating that the created app was unable to access the data that is typically in the shared group. Here’s a summary of our troubleshooting efforts: 1. Adjusting App Group Configuration Ensured the app group name aligns with Apple's guidelines, including prefixing with the Team ID (teamid.group.BZG.unite.sharedData). Verified that the app group is correctly declared in the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement. 2. Provisioning Profile Creation Generated provisioning profiles via Xcode and the Developer Console, ensuring the app group entitlement is included. Applied the provisioning profile to the user-created app during code signing. Despite these efforts, the issue continues. 3. Entitlements and Code Signing Created an entitlements file for the user-created app, mirroring the entitlements from DefaultApp, including: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "https://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>id.com.BZG.ExampleTest</string> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>id</string> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>id.group.BZG.unite.sharedData</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Signed the user-created app with our Developer ID and the provisioning profile Verified the entitlements 4. Reviewing System Logs Observed error messages indicating unsatisfied entitlements: message: com.BZG.ExampleTest: Unsatisfied entitlements: com.apple.security.application-groups **5. Consulting Documentation and WWDC Sessions ** Referenced post on App Groups in macOS vs iOS. Reviewed the macOS 15 Release Notes regarding SIP and app group container protection. Watched WWDC 2024 Session 10123: What's new in privacy, starting at 12:23. Questions Is there a way to authorize the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement in the provisioning profile for ad-hoc signed apps? Given the SIP changes in macOS 15, how can we enable our ad-hoc signed, user-generated apps to access the app group container without triggering the persistent prompt? Are there alternative approaches to sharing data between the main app and user-generated apps that comply with macOS 15's SIP requirements? Is there anything to try that we're missing here to solve this? Any guidance on how to resolve this issue or workarounds to allow app group access without triggering the prompt would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance!

Cannot install release test (ad-hoc profile) on Vision Pro
I was able to setup a release test for an iOS app for distribution using a web server. It works perfectly fine for all the devices I registered for the deployment profile. However every time I try to distribute a Unity based Vision Pro application using the same process for building the package and set up for distribution it does not work. Safari only shows a message telling me: "Cannot connect to ." When trying to install the iOS app from the same server it shows the message "Do you want to install ?" and installation completes correctly. My iOS is a simple hello world app generated by Xcode. My Unity app is an AR app targeting com.apple.platform.xros. According to documentation there should not be any difference in deployment profiles/signing for iOS apps vs. visionOS apps. What am I doing wrong? Any hint is appreciated how to continue.

Provisioning Profile Failed Qualification Doesn't Match Entitlements
I’m seeing an error message when trying to upload/validate my Archive. “Provisioning Profile failed qualification. ”
Profile Doesn’t match the entitlement’s file’s value for com.app.developer.networking.entitlement.

 My app uses Local Push Connectivity (NEAppPushProvider) and requires the App Push Provider entitlement. My profiles are set to include the Local Push Connectivity entitlement instead of Default. I don’t (cant’t?) automatically manage signing because of this. My provisioning profiles are set to use the Local Push Connectivity entitlement instead of default. 

 My entitlement files for each target have 
com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension app-push-provider This is my first upload since upgrading Xcode to 15. And My first upload since I updated my profiles. This was working for years, but I think either I rebuilt my profile wrong or something has changed on Apple’s end ( Xcode, reqs etc). I’ve double/triple checked everything and rebuilt my profiles over. I’m stuck.

How to correctly regenerate expired provisioning profiles and use them in .NET MAUI iOS apps?
I have a .NET MAUI iOS app where its provisioning profiles at first expired a few days ago. So I created new "Apple Development" and "Apple Distribution" certificates using an existing certificate signing request created on 19 October 2023 at 11:46 AM, included the new certificates in the expired provisioning profiles, regenerated and downloaded the provisioning profiles. In the "bundle signing" section of the "project properties" window of Visual Studio for Mac version 17.6.14 (build 413), I have made the following settings: Configuration: release Platform: any CPU Signing identity is not set to automatic I have selected the correct provisioning profile, but when deploying the app in release mode, the following error message is thrown so the app cannot be deployed to the device: ERROR: Failed to install the app on the device.

How and when to renew expiring provisioning profile?
Hi everyone, I maintain an app that is developed and distributed with an Apple Developer Enterprise subscription and delivered via my institution’s private site, where users download the .ipa file after logging in. From what I see, we use automatic signing in Xcode where possible. On the 1st of January 2024, the provisioning profile expired, and the developer before me had to rush to renew it because the app stopped working. Now, I have some questions about how to prevent this from happening again: When should I renew the provisioning profile? Can I renew it before the expiration without blocking the current app version that users have already downloaded? How do I renew it? If I need to download a certificate, does it need to be converted into a different format? Do we need to build a new .ipa file that users will have to download before the expiration date? here a screenshot clearance and guide:

App Transfer Issue: Upgrade's application-identifier entitlement string ({new_team_id}.{bundle_id}) does not match installed application's application-identifier string ({old_team_id}.{bundle_id}); rejecting upgrade.
Starting Point I recently transferred an app from an old to a new developer account. The transfer itself went smoothly with the app using the following capabilities: CoreData, CloudKit, Push Notifications, In-App Purchases Keychain is not used After completing the app transfer, I worked on a new update. For this, I set the new developer account as the development team of the project in Xcode. However, as soon as I try to install the new version locally on my physical test device, I get the following error message: application-identifier entitlement string ({new_team_id}.{bundle_id}) does not match installed application's application-identifier string ({old_team_id}.{bundle_id}); rejecting upgrade.` (Note: The test device has the latest production version installed, which was still published by the old developer account. The update can be installed without any problems if no previous version is installed. {new_team_id}, {old_team_id} and {bundle_id} are a substitute for the original content.) What I've tried so far I found a Technical Note on this topic and followed the steps suggested. However, the Apple Support wasn't able to provide me with the required Special Provisioning Profile. That's why I tested a different approach with a dummy application: I have completed an update as described above (new developer account selected as development team). Next, I uploaded it to App Store Connect and published it as a new version. I received the following warning during the upload process, but ignored it since I don't use the keychain: At first glance, the publication process appears to have gone smoothly. While the update caused the above error during local testing, the update via the App Store went smoothly. As the latest production version has now also been published from the new Apple Developer Account, further updates can now also be tested locally on a physical device without any problems. Questions Why is it that the update causes an error when tested locally, but works without problems via the App Store? Can this approach also be used without concern for an app with a large active user base, which also uses the capabilities described above (in particular CoreData & CloudKit) without causing problems? Thanks a lot for your support in advance!

Renewing (not Editing) Provisioning development profile (universal distribution) that is about to expire
Hello there! I found the page on Docs about Editing provisioning profiles: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/manage-profiles/edit-download-or-delete-profiles/ but there, are showed only cases where one should edit it or when it is expired. It is not showed the case where the profile IS ABOUT to expire. What If it is about to expire and I want to act before expiring? Somewhere on the forum I read that clicking "save" with no changes could be enough, but it is not clear to me if I need to choose something more about it. I add a screenshot since It seems to me the UI changed a bit recently. using Enterprise developer program, in-house distribution I can see no certificate with dec 31 2025 (+ - 1 day) on my dev page certificates list. but I have, among my certificates, an iOS distribution certificate with exactly nov 23 2026 es expiration date. why are two choices present with two different expiration dates? with which criteria should I pick one or the other? if I have no need to change something, what should I do or do not in this screen at renewal time? (I.E. at beginning of December 2024?) app Id should be the bundle id, is it so? but in this moment app and id are different, shouldn't they be the same?

Xcode won't download manual provisioning profles
Since a few days now, I'm using Xcode 16 and I try to install a newly made provisioning profile for my app. On the development profile I always get the message "Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device". But no message at all for the distribution profile. I even tried setting up completely new certificates as I updated to macOS 15 and Xcode 16. No success. When checking the installed profiles via Finder under open ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles I only see profiles from my last project from june this year. It does not matter how often I press "Download Manual Profiles" in Xcode nothing new lands here. Is there any other way to install newly created profiles? As my project is done with .NET and not a native Xcode project I do not have the option to let Xcode it generate for me (if this would even work).

Can't build with Xcode 14: "Doesn't match platform DriverKit"
I have an app that includes a DriverKit extension that up until now I've been building without issue using Xcode 13. It was time to regenerate my Developer ID Application certificate so I needed to rebuild the app. However, I'm now running macOS Ventura and Xcode 14.3.1, and cannot get it to build in this later version of Xcode for reasons that are totally inscrutable to me. I've tried using both the newly generated provisioning profiles I've manually created in the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" developer page, and the (still valid) provisioning profiles I already had installed. The trouble is that, when I select a provisioning profile I made for the DriverKit extension, Xcode won't accept it for the following reason: Platform: macOS Doesn't match platform DriverKit This makes no sense to me! There is no way to create a distribution provisioning profile for the "DriverKit" platform. All I can select is either "Mac" or "Mac Catalyst". So there's seemingly no way out of this. What am I missing?

Asset validation failed (90161)
I uploaded the ipa package to the Apple Developer Center, and it keeps showing the error "Asset validation failed (90161): Invalid Provisioning Profile." The provisioning profile included in the com.ttlock.roommaster bundle (Payload/keeperapp) is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate]. It says that my certificate is invalid, but I have created it many times and followed all the procedures correctly. However, I still cannot upload it successfully! I don't know how to solve this problem.

My new provisioning profiles are broken
I've updated Xcode to 16.1, then I've created a new provisioning profile in developer.apple.com, successfully built and signed my application. It was on monday, 2024-11-04. Two or three days later I was asked to add more devices and I had to create a new profile. I've noticed a new feature to control profile's name (yeah, cool!), had to accept new agreements. Then, have created a new profile, downloaded it, but could not add it with double-click to Xcode or import to Keychain Access - "Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device". And whatever I tried, I couldn't register any new profiles since. Therefore, my app cannot be signed and tested anymore. This is quite weird as nothing has changed on the system throughout the week. Is this a known issue or is there any fix for that?

Team ID suddenly changed
I developed it as Unity. Originally, I updated Unity to the latest version to fix the problem of not being able to log in to Apple. That's when I found out my team ID had changed. The current Apple membership team ID is HBEMGSUAQ3, When I check "Automatically manage sing" in Xcode Selected with the team ID "ESB392LR64". Where did this team come from all of a sudden? I've only used "HVEMGSUAQ3" for a very long time. The change in ID was a test build while developing another project yesterday, but it changed then. If I manually select the provisioning profile of my project "Failed to install embedded profile for : 0xe800801f (Attempted to install a Beta profile without the proper entitlement.)" This error appears and the test installation is not possible.. So I created a new certificate, identifier, and profile. However, it continues to be created with the ID of "ESB392LR64". Keychain registration is also naturally registered with "ESB392LR64" status. Again, my team ID is "HVEMGSUAQ3" and there is no way to check "ESB392LR64" on my dev page... This situation suddenly appeared when my certificates were updated with the ID of "ESB392LR64" on June 12, and What I suspect is that I updated my MacBook to the latest version of OS on the day of the issue. Please let me know what's going on. I'm hoping it's not a big deal....

Persistent File Access Prompt in macOS 15 for Ad-Hoc Signed Apps Using App Groups
Hello everyone, We develop an app called Unite (bundle ID: com.BZG.Unite), which allows users to create standalone macOS applications from websites. These user-generated apps are based on a backend browser template called DefaultApp (bundle ID: com.bzg.default.app). Here's how our setup works: Unite and DefaultApp: Both are signed with our Developer ID and include necessary provisioning profiles and entitlements. User-Created Apps: When a user creates an app with Unite, it generates a customized version of DefaultApp with the user's chosen name and settings. These apps are ad-hoc signed upon creation to reflect their unique identity. Issue Since updating to macOS 15, every time a user launches a created app, they encounter a persistent prompt asking for permission to access files outside the app's container. Granting full disk access in System Preferences suppresses the prompt, but this is not a practical solution for end-users. Upon launching a user-created app (e.g., "ExampleTest"), the following prompt appears: This prompt appears on every launch of the app. Steps to Reproduce On a Mac running macOS 15, create a new app using Unite (e.g., "ExampleTest"). Launch the newly created app. Observe the prompt requesting access to files outside the app's container. Close and relaunch the app; the prompt appears again. What We Have Tried Given that our apps use an app group (group.BZG.unite.sharedData) to share data between Unite, DefaultApp, and user-created apps, we believe this is triggering the prompt due to changes in System Integrity Protection (SIP) in macOS 15. We are further confident given that if the user does not allow access, the app does launch, but shows an error indicating that the created app was unable to access the data that is typically in the shared group. Here’s a summary of our troubleshooting efforts: 1. Adjusting App Group Configuration Ensured the app group name aligns with Apple's guidelines, including prefixing with the Team ID (teamid.group.BZG.unite.sharedData). Verified that the app group is correctly declared in the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement. 2. Provisioning Profile Creation Generated provisioning profiles via Xcode and the Developer Console, ensuring the app group entitlement is included. Applied the provisioning profile to the user-created app during code signing. Despite these efforts, the issue continues. 3. Entitlements and Code Signing Created an entitlements file for the user-created app, mirroring the entitlements from DefaultApp, including: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "https://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>id.com.BZG.ExampleTest</string> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>id</string> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>id.group.BZG.unite.sharedData</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Signed the user-created app with our Developer ID and the provisioning profile Verified the entitlements 4. Reviewing System Logs Observed error messages indicating unsatisfied entitlements: message: com.BZG.ExampleTest: Unsatisfied entitlements: com.apple.security.application-groups **5. Consulting Documentation and WWDC Sessions ** Referenced post on App Groups in macOS vs iOS. Reviewed the macOS 15 Release Notes regarding SIP and app group container protection. Watched WWDC 2024 Session 10123: What's new in privacy, starting at 12:23. Questions Is there a way to authorize the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement in the provisioning profile for ad-hoc signed apps? Given the SIP changes in macOS 15, how can we enable our ad-hoc signed, user-generated apps to access the app group container without triggering the persistent prompt? Are there alternative approaches to sharing data between the main app and user-generated apps that comply with macOS 15's SIP requirements? Is there anything to try that we're missing here to solve this? Any guidance on how to resolve this issue or workarounds to allow app group access without triggering the prompt would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance!

Cannot install release test (ad-hoc profile) on Vision Pro
I was able to setup a release test for an iOS app for distribution using a web server. It works perfectly fine for all the devices I registered for the deployment profile. However every time I try to distribute a Unity based Vision Pro application using the same process for building the package and set up for distribution it does not work. Safari only shows a message telling me: "Cannot connect to ." When trying to install the iOS app from the same server it shows the message "Do you want to install ?" and installation completes correctly. My iOS is a simple hello world app generated by Xcode. My Unity app is an AR app targeting com.apple.platform.xros. According to documentation there should not be any difference in deployment profiles/signing for iOS apps vs. visionOS apps. What am I doing wrong? Any hint is appreciated how to continue.

Provisioning Profile Failed Qualification Doesn't Match Entitlements
I’m seeing an error message when trying to upload/validate my Archive. “Provisioning Profile failed qualification. ”
Profile Doesn’t match the entitlement’s file’s value for com.app.developer.networking.entitlement.

 My app uses Local Push Connectivity (NEAppPushProvider) and requires the App Push Provider entitlement. My profiles are set to include the Local Push Connectivity entitlement instead of Default. I don’t (cant’t?) automatically manage signing because of this. My provisioning profiles are set to use the Local Push Connectivity entitlement instead of default. 

 My entitlement files for each target have 
com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension app-push-provider This is my first upload since upgrading Xcode to 15. And My first upload since I updated my profiles. This was working for years, but I think either I rebuilt my profile wrong or something has changed on Apple’s end ( Xcode, reqs etc). I’ve double/triple checked everything and rebuilt my profiles over. I’m stuck.

How to correctly regenerate expired provisioning profiles and use them in .NET MAUI iOS apps?
I have a .NET MAUI iOS app where its provisioning profiles at first expired a few days ago. So I created new "Apple Development" and "Apple Distribution" certificates using an existing certificate signing request created on 19 October 2023 at 11:46 AM, included the new certificates in the expired provisioning profiles, regenerated and downloaded the provisioning profiles. In the "bundle signing" section of the "project properties" window of Visual Studio for Mac version 17.6.14 (build 413), I have made the following settings: Configuration: release Platform: any CPU Signing identity is not set to automatic I have selected the correct provisioning profile, but when deploying the app in release mode, the following error message is thrown so the app cannot be deployed to the device: ERROR: Failed to install the app on the device.

How and when to renew expiring provisioning profile?
Hi everyone, I maintain an app that is developed and distributed with an Apple Developer Enterprise subscription and delivered via my institution’s private site, where users download the .ipa file after logging in. From what I see, we use automatic signing in Xcode where possible. On the 1st of January 2024, the provisioning profile expired, and the developer before me had to rush to renew it because the app stopped working. Now, I have some questions about how to prevent this from happening again: When should I renew the provisioning profile? Can I renew it before the expiration without blocking the current app version that users have already downloaded? How do I renew it? If I need to download a certificate, does it need to be converted into a different format? Do we need to build a new .ipa file that users will have to download before the expiration date? here a screenshot clearance and guide:

App Transfer Issue: Upgrade's application-identifier entitlement string ({new_team_id}.{bundle_id}) does not match installed application's application-identifier string ({old_team_id}.{bundle_id}); rejecting upgrade.
Starting Point I recently transferred an app from an old to a new developer account. The transfer itself went smoothly with the app using the following capabilities: CoreData, CloudKit, Push Notifications, In-App Purchases Keychain is not used After completing the app transfer, I worked on a new update. For this, I set the new developer account as the development team of the project in Xcode. However, as soon as I try to install the new version locally on my physical test device, I get the following error message: application-identifier entitlement string ({new_team_id}.{bundle_id}) does not match installed application's application-identifier string ({old_team_id}.{bundle_id}); rejecting upgrade.` (Note: The test device has the latest production version installed, which was still published by the old developer account. The update can be installed without any problems if no previous version is installed. {new_team_id}, {old_team_id} and {bundle_id} are a substitute for the original content.) What I've tried so far I found a Technical Note on this topic and followed the steps suggested. However, the Apple Support wasn't able to provide me with the required Special Provisioning Profile. That's why I tested a different approach with a dummy application: I have completed an update as described above (new developer account selected as development team). Next, I uploaded it to App Store Connect and published it as a new version. I received the following warning during the upload process, but ignored it since I don't use the keychain: At first glance, the publication process appears to have gone smoothly. While the update caused the above error during local testing, the update via the App Store went smoothly. As the latest production version has now also been published from the new Apple Developer Account, further updates can now also be tested locally on a physical device without any problems. Questions Why is it that the update causes an error when tested locally, but works without problems via the App Store? Can this approach also be used without concern for an app with a large active user base, which also uses the capabilities described above (in particular CoreData & CloudKit) without causing problems? Thanks a lot for your support in advance!

Renewing (not Editing) Provisioning development profile (universal distribution) that is about to expire
Hello there! I found the page on Docs about Editing provisioning profiles: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/manage-profiles/edit-download-or-delete-profiles/ but there, are showed only cases where one should edit it or when it is expired. It is not showed the case where the profile IS ABOUT to expire. What If it is about to expire and I want to act before expiring? Somewhere on the forum I read that clicking "save" with no changes could be enough, but it is not clear to me if I need to choose something more about it. I add a screenshot since It seems to me the UI changed a bit recently. using Enterprise developer program, in-house distribution I can see no certificate with dec 31 2025 (+ - 1 day) on my dev page certificates list. but I have, among my certificates, an iOS distribution certificate with exactly nov 23 2026 es expiration date. why are two choices present with two different expiration dates? with which criteria should I pick one or the other? if I have no need to change something, what should I do or do not in this screen at renewal time? (I.E. at beginning of December 2024?) app Id should be the bundle id, is it so? but in this moment app and id are different, shouldn't they be the same?

Xcode won't download manual provisioning profles
Since a few days now, I'm using Xcode 16 and I try to install a newly made provisioning profile for my app. On the development profile I always get the message "Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device". But no message at all for the distribution profile. I even tried setting up completely new certificates as I updated to macOS 15 and Xcode 16. No success. When checking the installed profiles via Finder under open ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles I only see profiles from my last project from june this year. It does not matter how often I press "Download Manual Profiles" in Xcode nothing new lands here. Is there any other way to install newly created profiles? As my project is done with .NET and not a native Xcode project I do not have the option to let Xcode it generate for me (if this would even work).

Can't build with Xcode 14: "Doesn't match platform DriverKit"
I have an app that includes a DriverKit extension that up until now I've been building without issue using Xcode 13. It was time to regenerate my Developer ID Application certificate so I needed to rebuild the app. However, I'm now running macOS Ventura and Xcode 14.3.1, and cannot get it to build in this later version of Xcode for reasons that are totally inscrutable to me. I've tried using both the newly generated provisioning profiles I've manually created in the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" developer page, and the (still valid) provisioning profiles I already had installed. The trouble is that, when I select a provisioning profile I made for the DriverKit extension, Xcode won't accept it for the following reason: Platform: macOS Doesn't match platform DriverKit This makes no sense to me! There is no way to create a distribution provisioning profile for the "DriverKit" platform. All I can select is either "Mac" or "Mac Catalyst". So there's seemingly no way out of this. What am I missing?

Asset validation failed (90161)
I uploaded the ipa package to the Apple Developer Center, and it keeps showing the error "Asset validation failed (90161): Invalid Provisioning Profile." The provisioning profile included in the com.ttlock.roommaster bundle (Payload/keeperapp) is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate]. It says that my certificate is invalid, but I have created it many times and followed all the procedures correctly. However, I still cannot upload it successfully! I don't know how to solve this problem.
