Hi guys,
New to publishing apps on Apple Store. I encounter some notarization error before and resolved it in this post.
By solving the previous issue, I updated the Trust setting from "Always Trust" to "Use System Defaults" for Apple certificates. The codesign and notarization no longer give me any problem. But now, I encountered another issue. When I ran the .app on my local Macbook, it now gives me "zsh: trace trap" error. Dive a little further and check the crash report, I found the some details as following.

I can tell it's about codesign and signature invalid. I have tried to rebuild, re-codesign and re-notarize. But the error still persists.
Could someone help me? Thanks!

Hello Everyone,
I am currently building an app using React Native with Swift bridging, integrating VoIP functionality using Twilio, PushKit, and CallKit. I am encountering the following issue during development:
"The current provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification entitlement."
What I’ve Done So Far:
VoIP Certificate: I have created a valid VoIP Services certificate in the Apple Developer portal.
Bundle Identifier and Provisioning Profile: A new Bundle ID was created specifically for this app. I created a provisioning profile for this Bundle ID and downloaded it for use in Xcode.
Xcode Capabilities
Push Notifications: Enabled
Background Modes: Voice over IP: Enabled, Remote notifications: Enabled
Entitlements File
I have an entitlements file named VoiceCallDemoProjectRelease.entitlements with the following content:
<?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>aps-environment</key>
<string>development</string>
<key>com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
This entitlements file is properly linked in the project’s build settings.
Project Setup
I have integrated PushKit for VoIP push handling and CallKit for incoming call UI and control.
Problem:
In the Apple Developer portal under my App ID settings, I only see an option to enable Push Notifications.
There is no option available to enable Voice over IP, and therefore the provisioning profile generated does not include the com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification entitlement.
Despite enabling VoIP background mode in Xcode, adding the entitlement in my project, and using a valid VoIP certificate, the profile does not include the required entitlement.
Additional Information:
I am using an Individual Apple Developer Account, not an Organization account.
I have already attempted re-downloading the provisioning profile, restarting Xcode, and cleaning the build folder.
Question:
What steps should I take to resolve this and ensure that the com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification entitlement is included in my provisioning profile?
Is this limitation due to the type of developer account (individual vs. organization), and do I need to upgrade to an Organization account to access this entitlement?
Is there any way to request for 'com.appple.developer.voip-push-notification' entitlement to Apple Team ?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi! I'm trying to add Sign in with Apple to my macOS app. I enabled this capability from the developer portal and created the corresponding certificate & provisioning profile (both of type Developer ID Application.) However, Xcode keeps prompting me that the profile doesn't support Sign in with Apple.
If I enable Automatically manage signing from Xcode, I can build and run the app but not distribute. If I turn it off and use the profile I got, it just keeps showing the errors below and doesn't even let me build.

We have a Mac that is used to sign and notarize our installers. This Mac will be going away soon, so I have to setup a new Mac to do that work.
I've been able to install all the tools, but I can't get them to work.
The certificates are in the keychain, but don't show up in the "My Certificates", probably because the related keys don't exist in the "Keys" list.
I'm using the same Apple Dev ID that I used on the other machine.
HOW do I get things setup on the new machine to work? There must be some way to get key/certificate pairs to work. (I am very definitely NOT a Mac expert, barely even a novice.)
I recently had to update my certificates for a project. I deleted a few old ones, and I currently have one Development certificate. I needed to create another Development certificate specifically, it's saying "Maximum number of certificates generated." I thought the maximum was two Development certificates? Has anyone else had this issue? Thinking it could be a stuck workflow or something like that.

Hello Apple Developer Community,
I'm experiencing a persistent issue with App Groups configuration for an iOS app extension that I can't resolve despite trying multiple approaches. I hope someone can help identify what I'm missing.
Problem Description
I'm getting this error when trying to build my iOS App Extension:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.idlrapp.Spleeft.SpleeftDataSaver" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.app-groups entitlement.
My Setup
Main App Bundle ID: com.idlrapp.Spleeft
Extension Bundle ID: com.idlrapp.Spleeft.SpleeftDataSaver
App Group ID: group.com.idlrapp.spleeft.shared
Extension Type: Action Extension (Share Sheet)
What I've Verified
App Group Creation
✅ Created App Group group.com.idlrapp.spleeft.shared in Apple Developer Portal
✅ App Group shows as "Active" in the portal
App ID Configuration
✅ Both App IDs (com.idlrapp.Spleeft and com.idlrapp.Spleeft.SpleeftDataSaver) have "App Groups" capability enabled
✅ Both App IDs are configured with the same App Group: group.com.idlrapp.spleeft.shared
Entitlements Files
Main App (Spleeft.entitlements):
<key>com.apple.developer.app-groups</key>
<array>
<string>group.com.idlrapp.spleeft.shared</string>
</array>
Extension (SpleeftDataSaver.entitlements):
<key>com.apple.developer.app-groups</key>
<array>
<string>group.com.idlrapp.spleeft.shared</string>
</array>
Xcode Configuration
✅ Both targets use "Automatically manage signing" ✅ Same Apple Developer Team selected for both ✅ App Groups capability shows correctly in Signing & Capabilities for both targets
The Issue
When I examine the downloaded .mobileprovision file, I can see it contains:
<dict>
<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key>
<array>
<string>group.com.idlrapp.spleeft.shared</string>
</array>
<!-- Other entitlements... -->
</dict>
However, Xcode expects to find:
<array>
<string>group.com.idlrapp.spleeft.shared</string>
</array>
What I've Tried
Multiple regenerations of provisioning profiles:
Deleted all local provisioning profiles
Toggled "Automatically manage signing" off/on
Downloaded manual profiles from Developer Portal
Verified App Group configuration:
Double-checked App Group exists and is active
Confirmed both App IDs have App Groups capability enabled
Verified App Group assignment in both App IDs
Entitlements cleanup:
Ensured consistent App Group IDs across all files
Removed duplicate/conflicting entries
Clean builds and cache clearing:
Product → Clean Build Folder
Derived Data deletion
Xcode restart
Key Observation
The provisioning profile contains com.apple.security.application-groups (which appears to be macOS-style) but Xcode expects com.apple.developer.app-groups (iOS-style) for the App Extension.
Questions
Is there a known issue with App Groups entitlement generation for iOS App Extensions?
Should the provisioning profile contain com.apple.developer.app-groups instead of com.apple.security.application-groups?
Is there a way to force regeneration of provisioning profiles with the correct entitlements?
Are there additional steps required for App Extensions that differ from main apps?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. This is blocking our App Extension development and we've exhausted our troubleshooting options.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Signing Certificates
Hi everyone,
After I recently changed my Apple ID (iCloud) password, my Developer ID certificate stopped working for signing macOS apps.
Symptoms:
Signing fails with the Developer ID certificate that was previously working fine.
I tried re-downloading the certificate from my Apple Developer account and importing it into the Keychain, but the issue persists.
It seems that the Developer ID identity is no longer trusted or properly linked to my system since the password change.
Attempts:
Re-downloaded and installed the certificate from the developer portal.
Verified that the private key is present and linked.
Checked keychain access and code-signing identity — everything appears normal, but the signed apps are rejected or the signing process fails.
Blocking issue:
I am unable to delete or revoke the Developer ID certificate on my account (Apple Support says it's not possible).
Also, I can't create a new one due to the certificate limit.
Questions:
Is it expected for a Developer ID certificate to become invalid after changing the Apple ID password?
Is there a recommended way to refresh or restore the certificate trust on macOS?
How can I invalidate the current certificate and generate a new one if I'm stuck?
Any insights or official guidance would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I have a valid Developer ID Certificate, I've used it to sign an app locally and send the app to other machines of my colleagues to make sure it works and does not get triggered by GateKeeper
Now I want to automate the process of signing and notarization on github actions and so I want to export my certificate and upload it there.
Initially I tried uploading both the Developer ID Certificate and the G2 CA both as .cer files encoded in base64. But apparently I need my certificate to be in .p12 format
When I try to export it from keychain access the option to export as .p12 is disabled. So how can I do it ?

Hi, ASC API call rejects DEVELOPER_ID_APPLICATION_G2 and does not recognize it, even though it is listed as a valid certificateType in the docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/get-v1-certificates. If it was removed from the certificate list, then why Apple forces to choose the G2 type when creating a DEVELOPER_ID_APPLICATION certificate manually in the Apple Developer account. Can someone from Apple support please check it as it is a contradictory behavior and is a blocker.

Hi everyone,
I recently migrated my individual Apple Developer account to an Organization account for my company "". My Team ID remained the same. I'm now facing persistent issues with code signing and push notifications for my iOS app (Bundle ID: com.).
Current Problems:
"Untitled" Certificates in Xcode: When I go to Xcode -> Settings -> Accounts -> [My Apple ID] -> Select "" Team -> "Manage Certificates...", a number of my newly created Apple Development and Apple Distribution certificates are listed древ "Untitled". Some older ones are "Revoked". (See attached screenshot if possible).
"No App ID" for Push Notifications Console: In my app target's "Signing & Capabilities" tab, I've added the "Push Notifications" capability. However, when I click the info button to open the "Push Notifications Console", it states: "no app IDs: Register an App ID with the Push Notifications capability enabled to use the Push Notifications console." This is despite the fact that the Push Notifications capability IS enabled for my App ID com. in the Developer Portal, and I've configured an APNs Auth Key (.p8) for it.
Push Notifications Not Received (from Backend): While I can successfully send a test push notification directly from the Firebase Console to my device's FCM token, notifications triggered by my backend (Firebase Cloud Functions writing to a Firestore collection, which then triggers another function to send via FCM) are not being delivered to iOS devices. (Android seems to be working more reliably now).
Setup:
Using an APNs Authentication Key (.p8) linked to my Organization Team ID in Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Main App ID com. has "Push Notifications" capability enabled.
Notification Service Extension com..ImageNotification also has its App ID and Provisioning Profile set up for the Organization team.
Created new Development and Distribution certificates and Provisioning Profiles specifically for the Organization team.
Using "Automatically manage signing" in Xcode with the Organization team selected for both the main app target and the extension target.
Troubleshooting Done:
Revoked old/problematic certificates and profiles.
Recreated CSRs and new Development/Distribution certificates under the Organization team multiple times.
Recreated Provisioning Profiles.
Cleaned Derived Data in Xcode.
Ensured Bundle Identifiers are consistent.
Verified APNs Auth Key details (Key ID, Team ID) in Firebase.
I suspect there's a fundamental issue with how Xcode is recognizing or linking the signing assets for my Organization team after the account type change, despite the Team ID being the same. The "Untitled" certificates are a major red flag.
Has anyone encountered similar issues, particularly the "Untitled" certificates or the "No App ID" message for the Push Console, after an account migration or when working with Organization accounts? Any insights on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Benni

Hi all,
I’m trying to notarize a Flutter macOS app built in CI (GitHub Actions). The app builds and signs fine locally—codesign --verify --deep --strict and spctl --assess both pass. However, Apple’s notarization service consistently rejects the app with errors like:
The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate: file_picker.framework
The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate: file_saver.framework
The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate: url_launcher_macos.framework
What I’ve tried:
Explicitly re-signing all frameworks with my Developer ID Application certificate and --timestamp
Removing existing signatures before re-signing
Ensuring correct entitlements and bundle identifier
Matching the app bundle name and identifier in all places
Using both codesign --deep and manual signing of each binary
Local validation always passes, but notarization fails in CI
Certificate:
I am using a “Developer ID Application” certificate (not a “Mac Developer” or “Apple Development” certificate). The output of codesign -dvv for the problematic frameworks shows:
Authority=Developer ID Application: [My Name/Team] ([Team ID])
So I believe I am not making the common mistake of using the wrong certificate type.
CI Environment:
GitHub Actions, macos-latest runner
Flutter 3.27.2, stable channel
All secrets (cert, Apple ID, app-specific password, team ID) are set up
Questions:
Has anyone encountered this with Flutter plugins or CI builds?
Are there known issues with signing Flutter plugin frameworks for notarization?
Is there a way to get more detailed feedback from Apple’s notarization service?
Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I’m happy to provide logs, scripts, or a minimal project if needed.
Thanks!
I want to archive app, but can't choost appstore or other release method.
I’m having issues trying to codesign a .app file. We generated the Developer ID Application certificate using the organization owner’s account. I downloaded the certificate to my Mac and imported it into my keychain, but when I run the codesign command below, I get the following error.
Could you help me? What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to sign the .app executable?
From what I’ve seen in other posts, it looks like the certificate needs to have a private key, but the certificate I download from the developer portal doesn’t include the key. Also, about exporting it as a .p12 — I couldn’t quite understand if that’s considered a safe practice, since the organization owner’s private key would be included in this certificate that we plan to use in our pipeline.

I’ve been wrestling with this for nearly a week now and none of the proposed fixes have worked. I’m trying to resign an app via Jenkins and have done the following:
Created a custom keychain
Imported the required .p12 certificates
Installed the Apple WWDR certificate in the System keychain
Made the login keychain my default
Added my development keychain, the login keychain and the System keychain to the user keychain list
Unlocked my development keychain
Confirmed my signing identity is present
Granted the appropriate partition list access to the keychain
"security set-key-partition-list -S apple-tool:,codesign: -k pwd /Users/ec2-user/Library/Keychains/development.keychain-db"
Yet when I invoke Fastlane’s resign action, I still see:
_floatsignTemp/Payload/EverMerge.app/Frameworks/AppLovinSDK.framework: replacing existing signature
_floatsignTemp/Payload/EverMerge.app/Frameworks/AppLovinSDK.framework: errSecInternalComponent
Encountered an error, aborting!
Any guidance on what might be causing this errSecInternalComponent failure or how to get the resign step to succeed would be highly appreciated.
We are facing issue with resigning the app which is developed by 3rd party. In this app we have Sharing functionality feature for which we have enabled Associated Domains capability.
When we are signing the app with our certificate and profile this functionality is not working i.e when we are clicking on shared link in the app it is redirecting to app store page instead of content link.
However, when 3rd party is directly using our certificate & profile then that functionality is working as expected.
Could you please help us with the above issue why it is not working when we are resigning with our certificate and profile?
Is it possible to change the Primary App ID set in the Group with an existing primary App ID to another Primary App ID within the same group
If there is a change, whether the sub values of the token will be changed upon successful login
If an app corresponding to the existing Group Primary App ID is deleted from the app store, ask whether or not other apps in the same group are affected and what effect it will have
If anyone knows about the above, please let me know please

I'm trying to use the App Store Connect API to get the list of expired certificates. When I make the web service call:
https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/certificates
I'm able to get the list of developer certificate. The distribution certificates are not included in the list. According to the docs, I should all of them in the result set.
Is there any thing special that needs to be added the web service call to have the distribution certs included in the result set?
