Good Day All,

I have been using Xcode 8 to test a couple apps on iOS 10. I am needing to submit an update to one of my apps to fix an issue which was discovered today.

I tried uploading to the App Store with Xcode 8, but of course because this isn't a GM release yet, so that is not possible.

I went back to XCode 7, but now due to some entitlement changes in Xcode 8, 7 doesn't see valid provisioning profiles. So now I am stuck trying to upload my update to the App Store.

I did set the storyboards to be compatible with Xcode 7, and so can open all documents. Xcode 7 doesn't show any warning or issues when building, or archiving. But upon uploading to the app store, I get a message:

No matching provisioning profiles found for "Applications/AppName.app"

None of the valid provisioning profiles allowed the specific entitlements: beta-reports-active, aps-environment.

So I proceeded to remove the entitlements file which Xcode 8 creates, but with that removed Xcode 7 can't build the application. I tried switching provisioning profiles, to perhaps use the "old" provisioning profile, but no go.

Without the entitlements file, Xcode 7 also provides an option to "fix issue", however when I do this, it loads my list of developer accounts, but the dropdown is blank so I cant select one.

It seems I am very stuck. I really need to upload my update to Apple. Does anbody have any ideas?

Thanks much!

Me too.

That is why I SHOULD avoid Apple's Betas like the plague, I always seem to regrate it by losing days of quality dev time sorting out the screwed up files.

Did you solve the problem?

I tried Xcode 8 and it added the key `aps-environment` to the entitlement file whose value is `development`.

Is it OK to release it using Xcode 7?

Still working with AppleDevSupport on my problems. Main advice was delete everything (profiles and certs) and start again. That didn't solve the issue.

I unfortunately was not able to fix the issue. I thankfully only opened 1 app in Xcode 8 and am refraining from opening others in Xcode 8 until it reaches GM.

I am not able to test my apps though for iOS 10 in this case, but I guess one could make a copy of the project and then use that to let Xcode 8 do it's changes and test on iOS 10.

The one app I did open in Xcode 8, I am just going to have to wait for GM before pushing out an update, which should hopefully be in a couple weeks.

Let me know if you do end up getting a solution though. Would love to hear it.

Yes,

I succesfully uploaded myApp V1.0 B2.0 to the store. However, it does not appear anywhere!!!! Its been days. I tried to reupload the same binary thinking, maybe it didnt register, but can not, the reason.... the binary is redundant. It already exists in the store!!

WHAT IS GOING ON????!
