Hi, When I try to create an App ID for my app, I get the following message: "An App ID with Identifier '' is not available. Please enter a different string. I have not manually created an App ID under my team with this bundle identifier. I have 'Automatic Signing' checked in Xcode but am unable to upload or register an app with the same bundler Identifier through Xcode as well. I am not a member of any other team so this bundle identifier should be unique and should not have been used before. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I have an App in production and want to add new capabilities to the app. Will adding additional capabilities cause the production App to break?

I have not been able to open any of my apps since I uploaded my latest update midOctober 2023. Previously I have tried everything on forums from removing derived data, adding new options in build folder and more. Since then I have wasted hours trying to open any app from my iCloud / hard disk and I wonder if part of the problem is caused by backing up to iCloud, as I can open from an external hard disk. It takes almost as long to upload from hard disk than cloud so whole thing annoying, does this add clues to this frustrating problem ? Also when I opened one of my apps it had made hundreds of unassigned assets that all had to be removed individually. I have no idea how to continue with my work I have three other apps in progress, but am halted at present but such a stupid small detail. // here is full commet /Users/ruwickigmail.com/Desktop/0-APPS-2023/InstaAnimates/InstaAnimates.xcodeproj: warning: Unable to find a target which creates the host product for value of $(TEST_HOST) '/Users/ruwickigmail.com/Desktop/0-APPS-2023/InstaAnimates/DerivedData/InstaAnimates/Index.noindex/Build/Products/Debug-maccatalyst/InstaAnimates.app/Contents/MacOS/InstaAnimates' (in target 'InstaAnimatesTests' from project 'InstaAnimates') My bundle ID is fine but it crashes on loading so may be due to something in signing but everything looks fine. I note that there are hundreds of enquiries on the forums, but most are unanswered. as this is an regular Xcode Apple problem and there are hundreds of people being put of continuing with their apps could the Apple team look into this please.

I have a DriverKit system extension (dext) that uses PCIDriverKit. I would like to get the build environment straightened out to successfully distribute the dext and associated software to end users. There are three types of software involved: The Dext-hosting application - this is the application that must be installed to /Applications/, and will perform the registration of the dext. The dext is deployed "within" this application, and can be found in the /Contents/Library/SystemExtensions folder of the app bundle. The dext itself - this is the actual binary system extension, which will be registered by its owning application, and will operate in its own application space independent of the hosting application. Additional applications that communicate with the dext - these are applications which will connect to the dext through user clients, but these applications do not contain the dext themselves. There are multiple locations where settings need to be exactly correct for each type of software to be signed, provisioned, and notarized properly in order to be distributed to users: developer.apple.com - where "identifiers" and "provisioning profiles" are managed. Note that there are differences in access between "Team Agent", "Admin", and "Developer" at this site. Xcode project's Target "Signing & Capabilities" tab - this is where "automatically manage signing" can be selected, as well as team selection, provisioning profile selection, and capabilities can be modified. Xcode project's Target "Build Settings" tab - this is where code signing identity, code signing development team, code signing entitlements file selection, Info.plist options and file selection, and provisioning profile selection. Xcode's Organizer window, which is where you manage archives and select for distribution. In this case, I am interested in "Developer ID" Direct Distribution - I want the software signed with our company's credentials (Team Developer ID) so that users know they can trust the software. Choosing "automatically manage signing" does not work for deployment. The debug versions of software include DriverKit (development) capability (under App ID configuration at developer.apple.com), and this apparently must not be present in distributable provisioning. I believe this means that different provisioning needs to occur between debug and release builds? I have tried many iterations of selections at all the locations, for all three types of binaries, and rather than post everything that does not work, I am asking, "what is supposed to work?"

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.

Hello All, I am trying to do my research, but wanted to ask for confirmation and clarification on a couple of points. We are currently developing and app for a client, we would like to distribute the ipa to them via our own site, rather than running through the app store upload. It's not going to be a public facing app. We used to have access to the Enterprise side of things, but this was removed when Apple added the minmum employees restriction. I'm assuming that we would need to use the Developer ID Application certificate? But I was also wondering if more than one person can have this certificate on their machines to create builds? I appreciate that these may be obvious to some, but I'm fairly new to signing apps etc. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I was trying to solve the error "Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code" that occurs when I try to archive and publish my app. I realized the Team IDs on the Portal (To right corner next to my name eg "Pete Park - ABC1D2E334") and my Mac Keychain Acces (eg "Pete Park - XYZ9W8V776") do not match. The number on KeyChain Access, is that's a Team ID. (clueless self learner here) If yes, do they need to match? Any suggestion for the CodeSign error? Is "errSecInternalComponent" the error? Sorry if these questions are obvious or stupid. Thanks so much for any advice.

Dear Support, I am trying to verify the installation of my macOS app via Test Flight. I have verified through code sign that it is properly signed and has all of the the required entitlements, including sandbox. The package uploaded successfully via Transporter, and the app installs with Test Flight. However, the app will not run. After numerous attempts, I discovered that the embedded.provisionprofile is missing from the Contents of the app bundle in the version that installs via Test Flight. If I install directly from the same PKG I uploaded to Transporter (that TestFlight is using for the build) I can verify that the embedded.provisionprofile is present. Why does uploading the PKG and installing through Test Flight result in the removal of the embedded provisioning file? Is this expected and/or could be another reason why my app is refusing to run? Much appreciated, ~Ross

Hi! I'm having troubles to sign my Xamarin Forms application, im getting the following error "Error : Could not find any available provisioning profiles for MyProject.iOS on iOS.". I've recently cleaned my Provisioning profiles folder ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles since it wasn't being updated with my latest provisioning profile for my app. But now my provisioning profiles are not being downloaded, I'm not getting any other error on downloading profiles. I've tried from Xcode -> Settings -> Account -> Download manual profiles. Tried too open the profile downloaded from the Apple Developer Portal, also tried copy manually the provisioning profile downloaded to the previous mentioned path, none of those works. The user that im logged in on Xcode is the admin/owner so is not a permissions issue. IDK what can be wrong or what can I try. So I'm going to be grateful for your help :(

Hi, I'm trying to ssh into another machine, copy an app into that machine and codesign it using my "Dev ID Application" certificate, then copy it back to my original machine. I'm getting the "errSecInternalComponent" error when running codesign. This is the bash script I'm running: ssh ${REMOTE_SERVER} "security -v unlock-keychain -p <REDACTED> /Users/<REDACTED>/Library/keychains/login.keychain-db" ssh ${REMOTE_SERVER} "codesign -vvv --deep --force --verify --verbose --timestamp --options runtime --sign \"Developer ID Application: <REDACTED>\" \"/tmp/$BUILD_ID/ui-app/<APP_NAME>.app\"" ssh ${REMOTE_SERVER} "codesign -dv --verbose=4 /tmp/$BUILD_ID/ui-app/<APP_NAME>.app" I've tried to follow all the available info found online, managed to sign it successfully through the machine's UI, set the ACL of the private key to ALLOW ALL, restarted the keychain service, tried with the system keychain, approved all pop ups through the UI. Still with no luck through the SSH session. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My non-cloud Developer ID certificate will expire soon, and my account also has a cloud-managed Developer ID Certificate. My Mac application build workflow uses Archiving, so the cloud cert should be fine for that. But my workflow also signs bundled apps, such as Sparkle framwork's Autodupate app, using the codesign tool. Is it correct that codesign only uses certificates from the local Keychain, and so cannot use a Cloud-managed Developer ID certificate? Before I manually renew the non-cloud Developer ID certificate, I want to make sure I'm not missing some easier method. Thanks.

Hello I build an application in Xcode for MacOS. But the exported app I cannot open on different Mac systems. I get the message 'The application X can't be opened'. I can only run the application on the Mac where Xcode is installed. I used different signing certificates: Apple Distribution, Developer ID application (this should be the one), Mac App Distribution. I archive the application, then use Direct Distribution, then after complished the notary service, I export the app.

After using backup to setup my new Mac Mini my xCode App projects run ok in the Simulator but fail to Archive or Analyze with the error: "The specified item could not be found in the keychain." The item is a provisioning profile. I was able to Run, Archive and Validate these projects on my old Mac Mini just before the final backup. Are there known problems in backup of provisioning profiles or keychains? I have tried creating new profiles etc without success for several days. I'm not an expert developer so I'm hoping there is a simple solution. Please suggest the best way to resolve and/or clarify this problem.

As of Nov 25, 2024, Xcode 16.1 won't recognize an App Store provisional profile as Eligible so you cannot select the provisional profile for signing. Which means you cannot archive it for upload to Apple. Setting it to manual or automatic signing does not help. Even going to the dev site and making new, fresh provisional profiles did not work. rebooting xcode did not work. rebooting the computer did not work.

I have an existing Xcode project that I am trying to add MusicKit to, but for some reason I am unable to. I have logged into my developer account, and ticked off the MusicKit checkbox under the Services tab of my app in the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles section. In Xcode I have Automatically manage signing set to true. But MusicKit does not show up as a Capability, neither in the list of capabilities in my app, nor when trying to add it with the +Capability button. I have done this successfully before with Game Center, so I really do not understand why this does not work with MusicKit. Any ideas as to how this can be solved?

I’m developing an app on .NET8 for macOS and encountered an issue during App Review with feedback: "An error showed upon launch. The app cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. This may be due to an issue with your app’s Gatekeeper conformance." Additionally, the provided screenshot showed this message: "Application is damaged and can't be opened. Delete and reinstall from App Store." Here’s the process I follow to create the package: Build the application. Sign it using the following command: codesign --force --verify --verbose --deep --options runtime --timestamp --entitlements ../Entitlements.plist -s '3rd Party Mac Developer Application: [ID]' Demo.app Create the package using this command: productbuild --component Demo.app /Applications --sign '3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: [ID]' Demo.pkg After installing the app from TestFligt it doesn’t show the errors. Could someone please advise on what might be causing this issue and how I can fix it? The Entitlements.plist file contains the following keys and values: <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>[ID].com.demo.appc</string> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>[ID]</string> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation</key> <true/> The project file snippet includes the following configuration for the release build: <OutputPath>bin\Release</OutputPath> <Optimize>true</Optimize> <NoStdLib>true</NoStdLib> <UseSGen>false</UseSGen> <UseRefCounting>false</UseRefCounting> <TlsProvider>Default</TlsProvider> <PublishTrimmed>true</PublishTrimmed> <TrimMode>partial</TrimMode> <RunAOTCompilation>false</RunAOTCompilation> <EnablePackageSigning>true</EnablePackageSigning> <CodeSigningKey>3rd Party Mac Developer Application:[ID] </CodeSigningKey> <EnableCodeSigning>True</EnableCodeSigning> <CreatePackage>false</CreatePackage> <PackageSigningKey>3rd Party Mac Developer Installer:[ID] </PackageSigningKey> <Profiling>false</Profiling> <CodeSignProvision>provfile</CodeSignProvision> <CodeSignEntitlements>Entitlements.plist</CodeSignEntitlements> <LangVersion>default</LangVersion>
