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.

When attempting to run a build script that is currently working for several other projects, the export fails and the IDEDistribution.verbose.log (see below) suggestion is to add a profile to the Export Options property list but as can be seen in the ExportOptions.plist text (see below), there is a profile for each of the three builds. XCode 16.0 MacOS 14.7 IDEDistribution.verbose.log below 2024-10-28 12:20:30 +0000 [MT] Step failed: <IDEDistributionSigningAssetsStep: 0x60000146e840>: Error Domain=IDEDistributionSigningAssetStepErrorDomain Code=0 "Locating signing assets failed."

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

I have the latest version of xcode

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!

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.

After the ios background creates the group and adds it to the Identifiers, an error is displayed at xcode signing. Error: An Application group with Identifier 'group.xx' is not available. Please enter a different string. Looking at Figure 1 and Figure 2, you can see that I have created in the background, but it will not succeed in XCODE. Does anyone know the reason I started to think that the account and certificate problems, but after the replacement is not successful How to solve this problem, thank you

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>

I currently manually resign my application for distribution. Until recently I haven't had any issues with the provisioning profile which I place inside the bundle. However, I just got the following message from the store: ITMS-91109: Invalid package contents - The package contains one or more files with the com.apple.quarantine extended file attribute. The file it is referring to is: Contents/embedded.provisionprofile When I check the xattr on the provisionprofile I see the following line: com.apple.quarantine: 0081;675c6072;Chrome; So it seems like the provisionprofile I have downloaded from developer.apple.com has this attribute set. Any insights on how to properly deal with this submission issue?

我们开发了一款SDK，并用自签名证书对SDK进行了签名，我们的证书会在2025年1月30日到期，到期后对已发布至appstore的app会有影响吗？ 用户在2025年1月31日打开app时，会因为自签名证书到期而闪退吗？有不少app集成了我们的SDK，这个问题对我们来说非常紧急和重要，麻烦尽快回复，谢谢！ 以下是我们的签名步骤： 自签名步骤：self-signed certificate xcframework 1、钥匙串创建：证书助理-创建证书-自签名根证书+代码签名 2、自行签名根证书修改信任设置 3、对已经打包好的xcframework进行签名 （官方命令示例）codesign --timestamp -v --sign "证书名字" ~/Desktop/MySDK.xcframework

When connected to the company's internal network without accessing the Internet, can an IPA installation package be generated if the certificate files are imported in advance?

I am trying to make a driver release, but failing (I think) because the manually generated distribution profiles are for the MacOS platform only, rather than MacOS and iOS together. As far as I can tell, everything is correct in the manual profiles apart from the platform. The necessary entitlements appear to be correct. In contrast, Xcode generated profiles list both MacOS and iOS as the platform and work fine for development and to generate a release archive. But Archives 'Distribute Content' gives only 'Custom' as a distribution mechanism, and no option for notarization. So, the question is: is this a problem with my developer account (and if so, what is the appropriate channel to fix it!), or is this something subtle in the project configuration?

I have created a XPC server and client using C APIs. I want to ensure that I trust the client, so I want to have a codesigning requirement on the server side, something like - xpc_connection_set_peer_code_signing_requirement(listener, "anchor apple generic and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = \"1234567\"") This checks if the client code was signed by a code-signing-identity issued by Apple and that the teamID in the leaf certificate is 1234567. My questions are- Is using teamID as a signing requirement enough? What else can I add to this requirement to make it more secure? How does xpc_connection_set_peer_code_signing_requirement work internally? Does it do any cryptographic operations to verify the clients signature or does it simply do string matching on the teamID? Is there a way actually verify the clients signature(cryptographically) before establishing a connection with the server? (so we know the client is who he claims to be)

Hi everyone, I am doing my app playground, when I change the development team or try to clear it, this bug happend? So I wonder do I have to remove it when I submit my work or just leave it there. Signing for "myapp" requires a development team. Select a development team in the Signing & Capabilities editor.

In an expo managed project which utilizes custom expo plugins, we're having trouble getting the keychain-access-groups entitlement inserted to our provisioningprofile for signing. The provisioning profile we download from apple dev portal contains: <key>keychain-access-groups</key> <array> <string>56APMZ7FZY.*</string> <string>com.apple.token</string> </array> and this is not recognized by xcode for signing; an error is thrown: Provisioning profile "ccpp" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.keychain-access-groups entitlement. A matching error is thrown during EAS build. So we need to find a way to modify the ccpp.mobileprovision locally and then sign the build using the modified ccpp.mobileprovision. Or, we need guidance on the proper way to resolve this situation. Questions: why does the downloaded mobileprovision file have the keychain-access-groups key, and not com.apple.developer.keychain-access-groups? Both Xcode and EAS appear to demand the latter keyname. when I use expo prebuild, I am able to see the following in the .entitlements file: <key>com.apple.developer.keychain-access-groups</key> <array> <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.myapp</string> </array> I am adding this entitlement using a custom expo plugin. However, the mobileprovision file downloaded from apple developer portal has no knowledge of this setting which is only applied through expo prebuild. So what I am left with at the end is an entitlements file generated by my expo prebuild which has the correct setting, and a provisioningprofile downloaded from dev portal with an incorrect setting, and I don't know how to mend the downloaded provisioningprofile (incorrect setting) with my local entitlements file (correct setting).

I have some questions regarding App Group Id's and use of the FileManager during an Appstore iOS transfer. I've read a lot of the topics here that cover app groups and iOS, but it's still unclear exactly what is going to happen during transfer when we try to release an updated version of the app from the new account. We're using this method FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.foo.bar") to store files on the device that are important for app launch and user experience. Once we transfer the app and begin the process of creating a new version under the new account will we be able to read the files that are stored using this app group id under the new account? What steps do we need to take in order to handle this and continue being able to access these files? It seems like the app group is not transferred in the process? I've seen some users mention they removed the app group from the original account and created it again under the receiving account (with notes mentioning this is undocumented behavior). These conversations we're centered around Shared user defaults, and that applies as well but I'm more concerned with reading the values from the file system. Thanks!

I have read the posted solution threads and am still stuck with solving this issue. I have created a python app that works perfect on my machine and I would like to distribute externally via .zip file. I have created a certificate and downloaded it (G2 Sub-CA (Xcode 11.4.1 or later)) Next i have installed the Çert into the login keychain along with the Matching G2 Intermediate Cert (in system) and the proper Root Cert. However I am still not getting a proper chain when evaluating the developer certificate and I am at a loss at this point. I would love to pay someone to simply walk me through it if anyone has some time to solve this problem with me so I can run the notarytool and then distribute my application. Thanks!

I am trying to build/deploy app to my phone however I get this message: "provisioning profile doesn't include the currently selected device" My developer account is pretty old one and used to be one the paid-version one. My understanding is that I should be able to deploy apps using free account but I don't see where I can add or delete devices....stuck in the loop over here! :-) I've created support request via email but I don't know if that is being worked or not...four days since I put it in. I suppose my other options are new apple-id or pay $99 and hope apple pays attention then? Any other suggestions?

Hello, I’m facing an issue with enabling In-App Purchases (IAP) for my iOS app, and it’s causing provisioning errors during the build process. Issue: • In Apple Developer Portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, the In-App Purchase capability is checked but grayed out, so I can’t modify it. • In Xcode, under Signing & Capabilities, I don’t see In-App Purchase listed. • When trying to build, I get the following error: Provisioning profile “BillionMines_Dev_Profile” doesn’t include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement. • Automatic signing in Xcode fails with: Xcode failed to provision this target. What I Have Tried: 1. Verified that my App ID is explicitly defined (not a wildcard ID). 2. Regenerated and downloaded a new Provisioning Profile, ensuring it matches my app. 3. Confirmed that In-App Purchase is enabled in App Store Connect under Features. 4. Cleaned the build folder and restarted Xcode. 5. Manually added com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase to my .entitlements file. Questions: • Why is the In-App Purchase option grayed out in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles? • How can I ensure my provisioning profile includes the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement? • Are there additional steps required to fully activate In-App Purchases? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
