Hello! We built a macOS .pkg using pkgbuild (contains a DMG + postinstall bash script). The pkg works locally on the build machine but fails on other devices manually / via MDM unless signed. We tried signing with a Developer ID Installer certificate, but: security find-identity -p codesigning -v → 0 valid identities security find-identity -v → shows the cert Private key is present in Keychain OpenSSL check shows: X509v3 Extended Key Usage: Critical (Expected one might be: Code Signing) We recreated CSR + cert multiple times (G2 Sub-CA), ensured Login keychain, unlocked keychain, etc., but same result. Question: Why is the Developer ID Installer cert missing Code Signing usage and not recognized for signing? Is there any account restriction or step we might be missing? Any recommendations on resolving this issue. Thanks!

Getting a couple of errors on the Signing & Capabilities section in Xcode when trying to provision my iPhone for on-device prototyping. "Communication with Apple failed Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/" "No profiles for 'com.danieljbuckley.Throwaway' were found Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'com.danieljbuckley.Throwaway'." Any ideas on how to resolve this?

We’re planning to distribute our app outside of TestFlight because our testing period is expected to exceed the 90-day limit. Since we have an Apple Developer account, we’re considering using either Ad Hoc distribution or direct installation (debug/development builds) for longer-term testing. I have a few questions regarding this approach: Ad Hoc Distribution Validity What is the effective validity period of an Ad Hoc build? We’re aiming for long-term testing (4-5 months) and would like to avoid unexpected expiration—are there any constraints we should be aware of? Development/Debug Build Expiry & Limitations If we distribute the app using a development (debug) build via provisioning profiles, what is the expiration timeline? Are there practical limitations (e.g., device limits, performance differences, or provisioning renewal requirements) that could impact extended testing? Potential Complications & Best Practices Are there any issues we should anticipate when using these distribution methods for long-term testing? For example: Provisioning profile or certificate expiration Device registration limits Any policy or compliance considerations with Apple We’d appreciate any guidance or best practices for managing long-term testing outside of TestFlight while staying within Apple’s guidelines.

I cannot distribute an app on xcode becouse he cannot find a certificate valid for my personal or business team. Need to address XCODE to access to my business account and not personal

I am experiencing an issue with Apple Development certificate creation in Xcode for my organization account. Account details: Organization: Jtecx LLC Team ID: 8V397ULNY4 Issue: When I attempt to create a new Apple Development certificate in Xcode under the Jtecx LLC (8V397ULNY4) team, the certificate is consistently generated under a different team: Apple Development: Joseph Salmond (67P4AAZ5TA) This appears to be my personal team, not the organization team. Impact: Because of this mismatch: Provisioning profiles created under 8V397ULNY4 cannot find a matching signing certificate Xcode shows “Signing Certificate: None” Xcode reports that the provisioning profile does not include the signing certificate I am unable to run or test the app on physical devices due to signing failures Troubleshooting performed: Deleted all Apple Development certificates from Keychain Access Revoked existing Apple Development certificates in the Apple Developer Portal Created a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using Keychain Access Generated a new Apple Development certificate through the Apple Developer portal Downloaded and installed the certificate into Keychain Attempted certificate creation via Xcode (Settings → Accounts → Manage Certificates → + → Apple Development) Verified installed identities using Terminal (security find-identity) Confirmed that only the following development identity is being created: Apple Development: Joseph Salmond (67P4AAZ5TA) Deleted this identity and repeated the process multiple times Recreated provisioning profiles after generating new certificates Downloaded and installed new provisioning profiles Attempted both manual signing and “Automatically manage signing” in Xcode Revoked certificates directly from Xcode and allowed Xcode to regenerate them Confirmed that Apple Distribution certificates are correctly issued under 8V397ULNY4 Despite all of the above steps, every new Apple Development certificate continues to be created under Team ID 67P4AAZ5TA instead of 8V397ULNY4. Expected behavior: When creating an Apple Development certificate while the Jtecx LLC (8V397ULNY4) team is selected, the certificate should be issued under that same team: Apple Development: Joseph Salmond (8V397ULNY4) Requested fix: Please investigate and correct the team association so that: Apple Development certificates are generated under the correct team (8V397ULNY4) is properly associated with the Jtecx LLC developer team for certificate issuance Xcode correctly creates and uses development certificates for the organization team Additional notes: Apple Distribution certificates are working correctly under 8V397ULNY4 Only Apple Development certificates are affected This issue is blocking local development and testing on physical devices Thank you.

Hi, I have a question regarding the relationship between the Apple Developer Enterprise Program membership and an existing APNs certificate used for MDM. Current Situation We are operating an MDM server. We have already obtained a valid APNs certificate via the Apple Push Certificates Portal. Our Apple Developer Enterprise Program membership is about to expire. The only asset we have in the Enterprise account is the MDM CSR used during the APNs certificate issuance process. Question If the Apple Developer Enterprise Program Membership expires: Will the existing APNs certificate remain valid until its expiration date? Or will it become invalid immediately due to the account expiration? Thank you.
