Xcode Automatic Signing Failure After Adding Keychain Capability – Mac Device Incorrectly Identified as iPod

Environment:

MacBook Air Apple M2 (macOS Tahoe 26.1)

Xcode 26.0 (17A324)

Automatic signing enabled

Feedback ID: FB21537761

Issue:

I'm developing a multiplatform app and encountered an automatic signing failure immediately after adding the Keychain capability. Xcode displays the following error:

Automatic signing failed

Xcode failed to provision this target. Please file a bug report at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com and include the Update Signing report from the Report navigator.

Provisioning profile "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: com.xxx. xxx" doesn't include the currently selected device "FIRF‘s MacBook Air" (identifier 00008112-000904CA3441xxxx).

What I've Investigated/Tried:

Checked the developer account devices and found that the device with identifier 00008112-000904CA3441xxxx is incorrectly labeled as an “iPod” (it is actually my MacBook Air).

Attempted to manually enroll the Mac again, but it still appears as an iPod in the device list.

Tried creating a provisioning profile manually, but no devices are available for selection in the device list when generating the profile.

Question:

Has anyone encountered a similar issue where a Mac is misidentified as an iPod in the developer portal, leading to provisioning failures? Any suggestions on how to resolve this or work around the device recognition problem?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yeah, that’s so weird. I’ve actually seen folks hit this before. It isn’t something you can fix yourself. I recommend that you reach out to our Developer Programs team via Apple > Developer > Contact Us.
