Following: ValidateLocally


The relevant bit is:

Test During the Development Process

In order to test your main application during the development process, you need a valid receipt so that your application launches. To set this up, do the following:

  1. Make sure you have Internet access so you can connect to Apple’s servers.
  2. Launch your application by double-clicking on it (or in some way cause Launch Services to launch it).

After you launch your application, the following occurs:

  • Your application fails to validate its receipt because there is no receipt present, and it exits with a status of 173.
  • The system interprets the exit status and attempts to obtain a valid receipt. Assuming your application signing certificate is valid, the system installs a valid receipt for the application. The system may prompt you for your iTunes credentials.
  • The system relaunches your application, and your application successfully validates the receipt.

With this development receipt installed, you can launch your application by any method—for example, with gdb or the Xcode debugger


Indeed attempting to run yields a prompt for my iTunes credentials by showing a dialog containing this text:

'XYZ.app we purchase using the App Store on another computer. To use 'XYZ.app. on this computer, sign in using the Apple Id and password used to purchase it.'


When I enter my developer credentials I get a dialog containing this text:

'Unexpected error occurred while signing in. The AppleID you entered could not be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again. [OK]


Keychain shows the following certificates as non-expired and valid:

MacDevelopment; MacAppDistribution; MacInstallerDistribution; DeveloperIDApplication; DeveloperIDInstaller

I can also upload a validated version of the app to iTunes Connect.

Steves-iMac:Debug steve$ codesign --display --verbose=4 XYZ.app

So what I am I not seeing here in this pocess?

Thanks for any help here!

I'm seeing the exact same problem, running Xcode Version 8.0 (8A218a).


Background:

  • I've been updating an old project to use the latest settings, and wanted to move to in-app purchasing, hence wanting to be able to validate the receipt.
  • However starting an entirely new project and doing all the settings as recommended by the validate locally article results in exactly the same error.
  • I did change my apple ID email address recently.


One weird thing which I don't know whether it's related or not, or if it's even a problem, but my understanding was that Xcode creates a developer profile automatically for you and then uploads this to developer.apple.com, but I can't see the automatically created profile in https://developer.apple.com/account/mac/profile/, which I was expecting. This along with the error message suggests that Xcode is failing in some way to connect to / authenticate with Apple's servers, but that's just a guess.


@SteveC did you make any progress with this?
