Provisioning profile failed qualification. Profile doesn't support App Groups.

I can't upload my macOS app to app store connect.

Each time i try to upload, i see this message:

Provisioning profile failed qualification Profile doesn't support App Groups.

An empty app without an app group uploads fine, but if i add an app group to it, it does not upload.

App groups are more complicated than you might think. I have a bunch of backstory to this in App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Fight!.

Note that the story has changed in the last few days, and I’m not sure which side of that cutoff you were on. If you continue to have problems, please post the details here and I can take a look.

even with the already uploaded binary, cannot get it to be reviewed...

The status of your app has changed to Invalid Binary.

Please correct the following issues and upload a new binary to App Store Connect.

I just tried uploading my app from Xcode 16 and it worked.

But I still need to be able to upload my apps to App Store Connect from macOS Ventura and Xcode 16...

It must be some bug on Apple side...
