I have been trying to use Apple Developer Support to help with issues I'm having preventing me from signing and notarizing my apps. Delayed and not helpful responses from support. This has been going on for several weeks. I find it hard to believe that a Multi-Trillion Dollar company can't help me with my issues. I have what I think is a good certificate and private key as well as my App-Sepcific Password. The problem is that when trying to sign my apps, I get a popup indicating that that it's trying to sign in to Keychain using my first Name (Steve). My login on my system is "Stephen" which works fine for login and anything that wants to access Keychain. I need some help trying to resolve this.

I have two Apple Developer accounts under different Apple IDs: a free "Personal Team" account and a separate paid Organization account. Before my organization's Program enrollment was approved, I built an app to a physical device using Xcode signed into my personal account, which auto-registered an App ID under that personal team. Now that my organization account is active, I can't register the same App ID under the organization — both the web portal and Xcode's automatic signing return "not available," since it's already reserved under my personal team. Since personal (free) accounts have no web portal access, I can't see or manage that registration anywhere to release it myself. I own both accounts. Is there any self-service way to release an App ID from a personal team, or is contacting Apple Developer Support the only option? If support is required, is there a faster route than the standard contact form (I submitted a request several days ago with no reply yet)?

When trying to develop an Apple Shortcut, the shortcut doesn't appear (after many open, quit, adding permissions, etc.). My only Apple Account is my name associated with an Apple ID of QZ99..... However, when I try to check one (of many reasons) why it does not show up with Terminal: codesign -dv --verbose=4 "/Applications/My App.app" etc, it shows something "rejected" Authority=Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Signed Time=Aug 25, 2026 at 1:26:38 PM Info.plist entries=22 TeamIdentifier=QZ99... Runtime Version=26.5.0 Sealed Resources version=2 rules=13 files=4 Internal requirements count=1 size=204 /Applications/Write Create Date from Original.app: rejected origin=Apple Development: My Account (K533...) The K533... is different than my Team ID of QZ99... Could that be a reason my app is not registered with Shortcuts? Is that expected functionality? I guess I expected my Team ID to appear everywhere even after I deleted my account in Xcode, removed a current and expired certificate associated with K533 in Keychain, and then added my account back, and let Xcode regenerate a certificate.

App Store Connect rejects my iOS Flutter app with error 90035: “Code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s).” The error affects the main app executable, App.framework, and Flutter.framework. Environment: macOS 26.5.2 Xcode 26.6 Flutter 3.44.8 Individual Apple Developer Program membership The Release archive and App Store IPA build successfully. The exported IPA is signed with an Apple Distribution certificate and contains the correct TeamIdentifier. However, verification reports: Runner.app: valid on disk Runner.app: does not satisfy its designated Requirement The certificate Common Name contains a non-ASCII character: “Ç”. The generated designated requirement appears to represent this character using a decomposed Unicode form. I suspect a Unicode-normalization mismatch between the certificate Common Name and the embedded designated requirement. I am also unable to create a local Apple Distribution certificate: Xcode Manage Certificates reports: “The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.” The Apple Developer certificate portal reports “An unexpected error occurred” after I upload a valid CSR. Has anyone encountered this issue when an Apple Distribution certificate Common Name contains a non-ASCII character? Is there a supported way to regenerate the cloud-managed certificate or have Apple repair the team’s certificate state? I can provide sanitized codesign output if an Apple engineer needs additional diagnostic information.

Hi, I am trying to make my app build on GitHub Action CI pipeline. App builds fine on xcode on my mac. For CI I am using command line xcode. I am getting following error: No profiles for 'com.snslocation.electricians-now' were found: Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'com.snslocation.electricians-now'. Automatic signing is disabled and unable to generate a profile. To enable automatic signing, pass -allowProvisioningUpdates to xcodebuild. (in target 'myapp' from project 'myapp') You can see full log of the build here: https://github.com/nbulatovi/ElectriciansNow/actions/runs/12603115423/job/35127512689 The provisioning profile is present, and verified in the previous steps in the pipeline, however xcode refuses to find it. If I add -allowProvisioningUpdates error stays. I tried manually mapping app id to profile name. Is there a way to get any debug log from xcode profile search, to see why is it not picking up the correct profile? Or can you maybe help in some other way? xcode version is 15.4, iOS SDK 17.5

We completed an App Store app transfer and the Notification Service Extension Filtering Entitlement (com.apple.developer.usernotifications.filtering) did not transfer with the app. App Apple ID: 6760007376 NSE Bundle ID: io.nolink.ios.nse New Team ID: M85WA8W78C Previous Team ID: V2E3A94DC9 The app, bundle IDs, and App Store presence all moved normally, but the entitlement is not available on the new team, so we cannot sign the NSE with the configuration the app previously shipped with. Our app is an encrypted messenger and this breaks incoming call handling for live users. Two questions: Is there an official process for re-associating a previously approved entitlement with the receiving team after a transfer, or does the new team always have to submit a fresh request? Could entitlements tied to a specific App ID move with the app during a transfer, the same way bundle IDs do? We have an open support case, but wanted to raise the general question here too.

I use a free Apple Personal Team with Xcode for on-device testing. My Apple Development certificate created on 15 August 2026 shows “Missing Private Key”, and Xcode is not allowing me to create a fresh replacement certificate. I have already contacted Apple Developer Program Support, and they directed me to the Apple Developer Forums for technical assistance. How can I revoke/reset the unusable certificate or clear the certificate state for my Personal Team so that Xcode can create a new Apple Development certificate?

Some UDIDs are getting added immediately but some takes up to 72 hours and status is "iPhone Processing". Is there a way to get this processing expedited and why some devices gets added immediately.

Updating an App for the first time since 2011. Build, Analyze, Archive all successful. Automatically Manage Signing checked. Validation fails with 90286 - Invalid code signing entitlements, and 91130 - Invalid Provisioning Profile dozens of times after tweaks, clean builds, trying manual signing (thought I was done with that), etc. For 90286 it seems my Developer ID , e.g. 346JXXXXX (not Team ID, QZ99XXXXX) is the prefix for the bundle ID, com.company.app-name and that generates the error? For 91130 it's invalid "com.apple.application-identifier" which I assume is the same issue with a Developer ID instead of a Team ID. The original version of the app was QZ99XXXXX.com.company.app-name. I even changed the bundle identifier in Xcode to that, and got this: App Record Creation failed due to request containing an attribute already in use. The app name you entered is already being used for another app in your account. If you would like to use the name for this app you will need to submit an update to your other app to change the name, or remove it from App Store Connect. Yes, the original app name is being used for an app in my account. I was trying to update the app, checked all the boxes, added update text, but of course there was no build to upload. Would appreciate any help.

I have a paid Apple Developer account (Team CK4269T4Q4, renewed until 2027/7/10), but Xcode always generates development certificates under my free personal Team (CKY689QC8W) instead of the paid one. What I've tried: Deleted all certificates from Keychain → Xcode regenerates under CKY689QC8W Revoked all certificates on developer.apple.com → same result Manually created CSR + uploaded certificate → still CKY689QC8W Signed out/in of Xcode account → no change Clean build, deleted derived data → no change The problem: iOS 18.7 requires online verification for free Team certificates. The verification always fails with "需要互联网连接以验证是否信任开发者". The "VPN & Device Management" section on iPhone never shows the developer profile. Apple Support case: 102939216200 — they confirmed the certificate was created correctly under CK4269T4Q4, but referred me to technical support here. Has anyone encountered this? How can I force Xcode to use my paid Team for code signing?

I came across your contact on the Apple Developer Forums. I'm encountering an unusual issue during the notarization process. The error message states: "Team is not yet configured for notarization.

Our iOS app fails to install via Ad Hoc or Development distribution with error: 0xe8008018 (The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid).

Has anyone seen this or know how to resolve?

I have a Flutter project that uploads files in background mode, implemented as a plugin for the iOS part. It works fine in debug mode when running from Xcode, but no files are uploaded in release mode (installed via .ipa). I implemented functions such as BGAppRefreshTask and BGProcessingTask, and configured BGTaskSchedulerErrorCodeNotPermitted properly in Info.plist. I registered background tasks (processing and fetch), and BGTaskScheduler also works well. The issue is that it works fine in debug mode but not in release mode. Do I need to modify some settings in the .entitlements file or configure something else? Environment: macOS: Sequoia 15.7.7 Xcode: 26.3 Flutter SDK: 3.19.5

Am on Mac Tahoe, and have the WWDR G4 cert in my login keychain, however, all the certificates am generating are coming out as not trusted. what else should I do? I have tried all the troubleshooting tips to delete all WWDRs if it exists. Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated.

I'm trying to register the App ID ai.mycompany.app under our company Apple Developer account, but the portal says: "An App ID with Identifier 'ai.mycompany.app' is not available. Please enter a different string." We own the domain mycompany.ai, and no app is published with this identifier (an App Store lookup by bundle ID returns no results). I believe it was auto-registered earlier by Xcode's automatic signing under my personal Apple ID while testing a build, not under our company team. So it's now holding the identifier globally but isn't in use. I have access to both accounts — my free personal Apple ID and our paid company Developer account. The problem: under the free personal account, the Identifiers list (Certificates, IDs & Profiles) is restricted — free accounts can't access it on the portal, so I can't see or remove the Bundle ID there myself. And from the company account it doesn't appear, since it's owned by the personal team. What I want: release/remove this Bundle ID so I can register it under our company Developer account. Questions: If a Bundle ID was auto-created under a free personal team, how can it be removed when free accounts can't access the Identifiers list? Is contacting Developer Support the only way to release it in this case? Once released, does the identifier become available immediately, or is there a hold period before another team can register it? Any guidance appreciated.

Hello. I am developing our company's SDK for iOS as a third-party library. This SDK consists of a static library and header files wrapped within a framework (and wrapping the target-specific frameworks in xcframework). I understand that codesign is required even for static frameworks, is it correct? Should I update the distributed files when the certificate expires? Does this depend on whether it is static or dynamic? When is the signature verified?

Hi, I'm trying to archive my xcode project. There is a build error. Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Apple Development: JOHN WILLIAM BAKER (VCZ7S72JNR)"

Hello Team, We are currently implementing a digital membership solution across our gym facilities, allowing members to add their access cards to Apple Wallet. In this regard, we would like to request enablement of NFC capability for Wallet passes associated with our Apple Developer account. Our setup includes NFC-enabled access control hardware integrated with our gym management system, and NFC support is required to issue and utilize digital membership cards. At present, we only have a standard Pass Type ID Certificate in our developer account. However, we understand that NFC-enabled Wallet passes require a Pass Type ID Certificate with NFC capability. We would appreciate your guidance on how we can enable or obtain a Pass Type ID Certificate with NFC support in our Apple Developer account. Looking forward to your support.

My app includes the main program, Finder extension, and launcher helper. Which identifier should I choose when generating a provisioning profile?

Hi, I have Identifiers that's used maybe in old Xcode projects long time ago that never been uploaded for Apple to approve and yet when trying to remove I get an error message below, any suggested fixes ? " The App ID 'xyz.xyz.xyz' appears to be in use by the App Store, so it can not be removed at this time. "
