I would like to code sign an app or installer with an RSA 4096-bit code signing certificate. I created a CSR using RSA4096bit and ECC in Mac Keychain Access, but I was unable to use that CSR to create a code signing certificate on the Apple Developer site. How do I issue an RSA4096-bit or ECC code signing certificate?

No matter how many times I download what seems to be a cert for Mac App Distribution Certificate Type Mac App Distribution When I look at its Apple Mac App Signing extension property in the keychain, it always says Apple Mac App Signing (Development) Whenever I try to use it to code sign, the signing is 'generic' which fails security checks. AI says... The certificate field Apple Mac App Signing (Development) (1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.7) indicates that the certificate is intended for development purposes. This type of certificate is used for signing macOS applications during the development and testing phases. But that is not what I am expecting to get from the certificate type Mac App Distribution. What can I do to actually get to production?

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?

Hello, I can see this option in my certificate on the developer.apple.com platform. The entitlements file is updated with: com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance code-block I’ve created a new profile for development and App Store, but in Release mode, my profile is not recognized… What configuration might be missing?

Hi there I'm having issues signing my app after the app was transfered to my account. This is what I did (in order) and what is happening. Accepted the transfer Updated som code Tried to update the old app with the new app on a test device. This failed with the message Upgrade's application-identifier entitlement string (..DKG.dk..) does not match installed application's application-identifier string (...3ZG.dk..); rejecting upgrade. Added the required entitlements file to XCode to reflect both teams. Now signing fails with the error Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: ...hyp..." doesn't include the previous-application-identifiers entitlement. Requested a new profile from Apple but got rejected What do I do now? Thanks

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?

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?

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

Hi, I need to create a new Developer ID installer certificate as I cannot locate the private key on my old computer. I need to revoke the certificate. I have the Account holder and admin rights but I can't see the revoke option. And when I try to create a new certificate, the panel response is "There is already an existing one." Again, I need to install a new Developer ID installer certificate on the KeyChain of my new computer with its private key. I can't codesign and complete my work at the moment ! I have sent several support e-mails but no single response ! Any guidance is much appreciated. thank you.

I'm trying to sign a build coming from a gitlab runner, but for some reason security find-identity is yielding no results during the pipeline. Hitting the runner via SSH shows the results as I would expect, as well as VNCing into the runner and using the terminal. whoami on all 3 shows the same result My current attempt is to build the keychain on the fly so that I can ensure I have access to the identity, and it succeeds in building the keychain and importing the certs, but find-identity still shows zero results in the pipeline. - security create-keychain -p "$KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD" "$KEYCHAIN_PATH" - security list-keychains -d user -s "$KEYCHAIN_PATH" "/Users/######/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db" "/Library/Keychains/System.keychain" - security set-keychain-settings "$KEYCHAIN_PATH" - security unlock-keychain -p "$KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD" "$KEYCHAIN_PATH" - security import "$SIGNING_KEY_DECODED" -P "$P12_PASSWORD" -A -f pkcs12 -k $KEYCHAIN_PATH -T "/usr/bin/codesign" - > # escape : CERT_IDENTITY="##########" security set-key-partition-list -S apple-tool:,apple: -s -k "$KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD" -D "$CERT_IDENTITY" -t private "$KEYCHAIN_PATH" - echo $(security find-identity) The echo at the end returns the following: Policy: X.509 Basic Matching identities 0 identities found Valid identities only 0 valid identities found Running the same command via ssh/terminal over VNC after the build fails returns the following: Policy: X.509 Basic Matching identities 1) C6......A2 "iPhone Distribution: ###########" 1 identities found Valid identities only 1) C6......A2 "iPhone Distribution: ###########" 1 valid identities found Which suggests that the keychain creation and certificate import is working as expected. I'm not ruling out the possibility of this being an issue on gitlab's end, but this has been working historically, and only really stopped working since we've updated to Sonoma (we're on 14.7.1 now). We have an active runner on Ventura 13.6.1 that's working still.

Hi, I am trying to upload the Certificate Signing Request but its failing and showing this error: CSR algorithm/size incorrect. Expected: RSA(2048)

I have an internal customer who is trying to submit an IPA to TestFlight via a Jenkins pipeline, and they are submitting their IPA to our central code signing service first. But they're seeing failures in their logs such as: { "id" : "bb07c32d-b4d6-48c4-abfe-390a46dec3ca", "status" : "409", "code" : "STATE_ERROR.VALIDATION_ERROR.90179", "title" : "Asset validation failed", "detail" : "Invalid Code Signing. The executable 'Payload/their.app/Frameworks/Pods_their.framework/Pods_their' must be signed with the certificate that is contained in the provisioning profile." } I obtained the signed IPA file, and examined one of the items flagged as incorrectly signed with "codesign -d -vvvv". I see the correct team identifier in the output, along with the correct ("Distribution") authority. I unbundled the IPA with "ditto -xk", extracted the plist from the embedded provisioning file with "security cms -D -i", and examined the lone developer certificate with "plutil -extract DevelopCertificates.0" and "certtool d". The subject name fields correspond to the correct cert: "Other name" and "OrgUnit" contain "our" team name, "Org" has our company name, "Common Name" has the name of the authority mentioned above. In short, it looks like we're signing it properly, but Apple notarization is refusing it. (For the record, something on Apple's side complained about using "altool" instead of "notarytool". I don't know if that's our problem or not.) What else should I be doing to confirm the status of the signatures? I'm missing something, but I have no idea what.

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.

In Xcode's (version 16.1) "Devices and Simulators" window pressing the device's context menu item "Show Provisioning Profiles..." does nothing: no new window, no message, nothing. How can I fix this?

I'm trying to renew our Distribution Certificate, but when I request a certificate from a certificate authority as described and create the certificate via developer.apple.com and install it, it is installed without a private key, so I can't export it to .p12. What am I doing wrong? Last year this went without any problems. Please help me out, because I have to renew the certificate before 12-12-2024.

p12证书导出是灰色的，一直导出不了 ![]（“https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/36357e8a-bbb0-4661-a57c-720d41c3d9aa” “title=微信截图_20241119125858.png;宽度=962;高度=273”）

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.

Hello, my team is trying to fix a code signing issue with our app. Our production build works, but our debug build broke after upgrading to macOS 15. This is because our app contains an app extension that can no longer access our app group container after the upgrade to macOS 15. It looks like this is due to ~/Library/Group Containers being protected by SIP now. We were not code signing our debug app, and now security is stricter. Because of historical reasons, we need to use a Makefile to build our app instead of just using Xcode. We are trying to determine the best way to sign our debug app. It looks like our app extension is able to access our app group container if we sign the app with a developer certificate. However, we are wondering if the developer certificate is required. We see that Xcode can sign debug builds with the “-” code signing identity. We tried doing this from our Makefile in the same way we sign with the developer certificate, but it doesn’t work. Is this expected behavior?
