Hello, my iOS apps are exiting right after launch on a few of our iOS devices. I tried a couple of my apps that are deployed to our fleet and they do the same thing. If I run the app(s) in the Simulator it works fine and if I run the app(s) on the offending devices it works fine as well. Once I stop the run in Xcode the app on the device will not launch.
I'm thinking something is missing like a certificate etc. Just not sure.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I would really like to get this fixed.

Since around September (iOS 26 release), i'm unable to test my app normally. It says "internet connection is required to verify [my certificate id]", or just crashing. All terms and conditions accepted, everything is valid, certificates are OK.
Reinstallation via xcode does not help. Removal of provisioning profile, generating new does not help. Revoking of certificate and generating new does for around week, then it happens again, but do i need to do it every week now?
In logs i see the following:
default amfid validation failed because of missing trust and/or authorization (0xe8008026)
error amfid not valid: 0xe8008026: The provisioning profile requires online authorization.
error amfid Unexpected MISError (0xe8008026): The provisioning profile requires online authorization.

default kernel AMFI: code signature validation failed.
It looks like apple validation servers are not working, or is it iOS bug? All provisioning profiles are showing like "valid" in apple developer center.
My network is not behind a proxy, connection is direct.
If use EXACTLY the same app, signed with the same provisioning, same signature, on another test device, it works!
When i reset current device to default settings and installing the EXACTLY same app after it, it works as well.
Looking for a help from apple developer support
I am using Automatically Manage Signing
And I have registered my Mac UUID in developer account, but it is still giving me these errors -
Device My Mac is not registered to your team Ai Glider Inc. Devices must be registered in order to run your code, but you do not have permission to register them. Please check with your team's admin.
No profiles for 'com.aiexample.sebexample' were found

Hi,
after 2 years of not updating my app on appstore i wanted to submit an update for my iOS app which also containts a watch app target.
When i try to submit it to upload it i get the following errors:
Failed registering bundle identifier
The app identifier "(myappBundleID).watchkitapp" cannot be registered to your development team because it is nit available. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again.
No Profiles for "(myappBundleID).watchkitapp" were found.
Xcode culdn't find any iOS App Store provisining profiles matching "(myappBundleID).watchkitapp"
Since i have my app already in store with that bundle identifier i don't know why it can not be registered to my team. Also i don't want to change the bundle identifier because then i can not publish it as update to store.
I'm trying to sign a .app package coming from Py2app.
Unfortunately I keep running into the same two issues:
The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate.
and
The signature does not include a secure timestamp.
I tried everything, from recreating the signatures, with different arguments, different keys and certificates, but it keeps complaining with these two errors on a long list of files.
For reference I added the python script I use for signing the files.

I got an email with the subject "Action Needed: Developer ID Application Certificate Expires in 30 Days"
But on the cert page it's not exactly clear to my how to renew the cert or generate a new one.
Confused by the fact that I already have half a dozen ...somehow?
Any help or guidance appreciated.
I added a new device and it's not recognizing the device model. This causes a message saying "Unable to verify" when signing an app. Has anyone else encountered this issue? This only happens with this one device, not others.

I have added an in-app purchase function into my app, and have enabled in-app purchase profile in developer portal(it's on by default and is marked gray in developer portal, I don't know if that's how it supposed to look like). I have issued the agreements and tried signing the app both manually and automatically, but neither of that worked. App can be built successfully in simulator but does not show the simulation window, but cannot build on real device or archive.
Errors: Missing com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase,
com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.non-consumable, and com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.subscription entitlements.
Automatic signing failed
Xcode failed to provision this target.

The device UDID was registered to the developer account 40 hours ago, the STATUS column was "processing" in the first 24 hours, then turned to empty.
But I still can't run my app (with distribution method "development"), when I try to run it after download it through my OTA URL, it prompts “the app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified” but everything runs good on a iPhone which was registered a month ago.
What should I do now? keep waiting?
Hello everyone,
I'm facing a critical, blocking issue where my developer account (Team ID: K655PX7A46) is unable to generate a valid provisioning profile with the App Attest entitlement. I have confirmed this is a server-side issue and am hoping to get visibility from an Apple engineer who can investigate.
The Problem:
When I generate a provisioning profile for an App ID with the "App Attest" capability enabled, the resulting profile is defective. It is missing the required com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key in its entitlements dictionary, causing Xcode to fail the build.
What I Have Proven:
The issue is not a misconfiguration. The App Attest capability is correctly enabled and saved on the App ID configuration page.
The issue is not isolated to one App ID. I created a brand new App ID from scratch, enabled the capability during creation, and the server still generates a defective profile with the same missing entitlement.
I have definitive proof by inspecting the downloaded .mobileprovision file. The contents confirm the required key is missing.
Steps to Reproduce on My Account:
Create a new App ID on the Developer Portal.
Enable the "App Attest" capability and save.
Generate a new "iOS App Development" provisioning profile for this App ID.
Download the profile and inspect its contents via security cms -D -i [profile].
Observe that the com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key is missing.
The Evidence (Contents of the Defective Profile):
Here is the output from inspecting the profile for a brand new App ID (com.technology519.linksi.app2). As you can see, the correct entitlement is missing, and an incorrect devicecheck entitlement is present instead.
This is a critical bug in the provisioning profile generation service for my account that is blocking all development. I have already filed a support ticket (Case #102721408444) but have so far only received generic, unhelpful responses.
Can an Apple engineer please investigate this server-side issue with my account?
Thank you.

I have tried everything and still I am getting this. Just for a test I created a new app (Master-Detail template Xcode 11.5) I have created an entry in the iTunes Connect to receive the app upon archiving and uploading. I regenerated all new certificates for iOS Development and Distribution. I created all new Provisioning profiles.
The Dev profile builds deploys and runs on my device
The Dist profile builds but when I select the distribution profile I get the "Profile doesn't include the com.apple.application-identifier entitlement." error.
When I download the profile within Xcode all looks good for the distribution profile:
App ID: matches correctly
Certificated: 1 Included includes the new signing certificate "iPhone Distribution...."
Capabilities: 3 Included Includes Game Center, In-App Purchase, and Keychain Sharing
Entitlements: 5 Included Includes application-identifier, keychain-access-groups, beta-reports-active, get-task-allow, and com.apple.developer.team-identifier.
Im not sure what is going on. This is a standard process I have performed for quite a while. As a matter of fact I just submitted 3 applications last Sunday.
Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm trying to setup a macOS 26 build environment in a VM (using UTM and the virtualization framework Apple provides).
I have Xcode 26 installed and have logged into my Apple ID and verified that the team and other configuration looks fine in Xcode settings.
When trying to build the macOS app, I see errors saying the VM's device ID has not been registered. I have confirmed that the device ID is registered both in the Provisioning portal AND the downloaded .provisionprofiles (in Library > Developer > Xcode > UserData).
This problem appears on multiple targets (e.g. the main app and extensions).
If I try to manually provision the app, using the Provisioning portal, I can build the product, but it will not launch because of Gatekeeper issues.
Finally, signing to run locally doesn't work either. As the app launches, frameworks refuse to load because Team IDs don't match. With ad hoc provisioning, there are no Team IDs.
I've come to the conclusion that this just isn't possible.
Which is a shame because I need to support products with a build environment on macOS 15 and cannot move over to macOS 26 yet. I suspect many developers outside of Apple are in a similar position.
Dear Apple Developer Support,
I am experiencing a critical issue with Developer ID certificates issued for Turkish (C=TR) developer accounts that prevents code signing on macOS.
Issue Summary
All Turkish Developer ID certificates issued on October 4, 2025, contain an Apple proprietary extension (OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13) marked as "critical" that both OpenSSL and codesign cannot handle.
Technical Details
Team ID: 4B529G53AG
Certificate Country: TR (Turkey)
Issue Date: October 4, 2025
macOS Version: 15.6.1 (24G90)
Problematic Extension OID: 1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13 (marked as critical)
Evidence
I have verified this issue across THREE different Turkish Developer ID certificates:
Serial: 21F90A51423BA96F74F23629AD48C4B1
Serial: 461CBAF05C9EDE6E
Serial: 184B6C2222DB76A376C248EC1E5A9575
All three certificates contain the same critical extension.
Error Messages
OpenSSL: error 34 at 0 depth lookup: unhandled critical extension
Codesign: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer
errSecInternalComponent
Comparison with Working Certificate
My previous Developer ID certificate from Singapore (before revocation) worked perfectly and did NOT contain this critical extension. This confirms the issue is specific to Turkish certificates.
Impact
Cannot sign applications for distribution, which blocks:
DMG signing for distribution
Notarization process
App distribution to users
Questions
What is the purpose of OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13?
Why is it marked as critical only for Turkish certificates?
Is this related to Turkish regulatory requirements?
Can you issue a certificate without this critical extension?
Is there a macOS update planned to support this extension?
Request
Please either:
Issue a Developer ID certificate without the critical extension OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13
Provide a workaround for signing with current Turkish certificates
Update the codesign tool to handle this extension
This appears to be a systematic issue affecting all Turkish developers as of October 2025.
Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.
Best regards,

We've been creating iOS apps for a few years now, but when I tried last month, I got an error in my XCode that says:
No profiles for 'com.os.hub.mth2' were found
Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'.
I'm not sure if it's the cause or not, but when I look at the signing certificates, the Developer ID Application Certificate says:
Missing Private Key
The weird part of that is that I see a private key with this name in my Keychain access, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
There has been a significant time gap between now and the last time we created a mobile app, so I'm not sure if something changed in XCode/MacOS to cause this issue, or if something expired.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Developer ID
In our local test configurations, a developer can sign test apps for device installation using any key associated with the company team. However, if a developer accidentally chooses an identity from some other team, installation fails with no information about the problem. It just mentions that no provisioning profile could be found, leaving everyone in the dark about what is wrong.
Instead, we would like to pre-validate the selected signing identity by checking the team name or id. This could be done, for example, by extracting the x509 certificate from the signing identity and checking the "OU" field (which is set to the team id). However, none of the apple commands will divulge the x509 certificate from a developer id. So far our best options is to create a fake app, sign the app, then use command:
codesign --display --extract-certificates
This solution seems excessively serpentine. Is there no direct command that will accept the sha of a signing identity and return a nice .pem containing the associated certificate chain? Or, better yet, is there a command that takes the signing identity and simply returns the name or id of the associated team?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to generate a provisioning profile that includes both Healthkit and MusicKit entitlements.
The healthKit pieces if fine, and included in the profile. However, despite selecting Musickit under services in the ID setup, the entitlement doesn't seem to be included in the profile.
Other steps taken: Setup the app in App Store Connect, generated a media ID and Key. Tried both automatic and manual signing.
Are there specifics tricks to getting this one to work?
I have two certificates in my Accounts>Manage Certificates section. One is active, the other is greyed out with a status of "Not in Keychain". I only have ONE certificate in the developer account online.
Timeline:
Had an issue with fastlane codesigning and was trying to resolve that. In that attempt I deleted my related Certificates from my keychain
Xcode showed them as disabled (greyed out) and not in Keychain.
Look up how to resolve, need to revoke certificates in Developer account online. I go and revoke those certificates. Nothing changes
I create new certificate and try to add it to xcode>account>certificate managment>"Apple Development". Get an error saying I can't add a new can't do that because a certificate is already pending.
I waited a day because I assumed like somethings with apple, updates are not immediate.
I come back the next day and am able to add a new certificate. However, the previous one that is greyed out and reads "Not in Keychain" under Status, is still there.
How do I remove that "Not in Keychain" certificate? I emailed developer support and they directed me here.
I have certificates in my xcode>settings>account>manage certificates that I cannot get rid of. I know that they are linked to certificates in developer.apple.com but I've removed them from there and they persist in xcode.
I have one that says "Not in Keychain", which is true. I deleted all the keychains related to these accounts in an attempt to fix something.
I also have ones that say things like "Missing Private key"
Our setup is that we have one main account "Company Inc." which I am setup to be an Admin in. I created a certificate under my credentials and added it to my keychain and showed up properly in xcode but I still have the other ones.
HOW DO I REMOVE THEM :sob:

I tried to create a new IOS provisioning profile and re-apply it to the app using Xcode to build it, but I got into trouble.
The build is good, but it bounces when running the app.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know what to do.
