I received this email and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to renew a distritbution certificate and create a request for signature certificate. This is all so confusing and not easy to follow at all. Please help, my distribution certificates expires on October 27th. Dear Daniel, Your Distribution Certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days. To generate a new certificate, sign in and visit Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. Certificate: Distribution Team ID: M96UCKJQHT To learn more about expired certificates, visit the certificates support page. Best regards, Apple Developer Relations

Hi all, I'm using xcode 13.2.1. I go to Product>Archive. The app builds and creates an archive, but there's no data for "version, identifier, type, team, architecture, etc." It's just creating a "generic xcode archive." When I go to "distribute content" it doesn't give the typical distribution methods like "App store Connect, Adhoc, Enterprise, or Development." What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Thomas

I received an email saying this: Your iOS Distribution Certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days. To generate a new certificate, sign in and visit Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. If I don't correct that situation, what will be the consequences for my apps' users? The Apple documentation is vague on this, because they seem to automatically assume that I plan to comply and renew the cert. However I don't own a Mac at present, nor an iOS device. My apps are monetarily free, so no financial incentive exists to buy either. If I don't renew the distribution cert again (maybe by borrowing a Mac), will my apps' existing users be adversely affected? FWIW, my apps don't support iCloud in any way. I would also note that the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" section isn't visible anywhere; I'm using Firefox.

Hello there, Apologies for this most basic question!. We have an iOS application and no developers left to work on it. That is fine as we are not planning on making any changes to the app for a long time, however, we have just received an email stating that our "iOS Distribution Certificate" is due to expire soon. We have looked through the documentation but it is very technical. Firstly, what I am trying to understand is: The only options we have under "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" on the Apple Developer web site are "Download" and "Revoke". Do we have to "Revoke" the certificate before creating a new one? If so, won't this stop the released app from working? Is it possible to just re-create the certificates from the Apple Developer web site without re-releasing the iOS app? Or do you have to sign the app with the new certificates in XCode and re-release it? Many thanks!

We have a Mac that is used to sign and notarize our installers. This Mac will be going away soon, so I have to setup a new Mac to do that work. I've been able to install all the tools, but I can't get them to work. The certificates are in the keychain, but don't show up in the "My Certificates", probably because the related keys don't exist in the "Keys" list. I'm using the same Apple Dev ID that I used on the other machine. HOW do I get things setup on the new machine to work? There must be some way to get key/certificate pairs to work. (I am very definitely NOT a Mac expert, barely even a novice.)

It requires a provisioning profile, and while I have one, I cannot select it within Signing & Capabilities since it is empty. On blank projects it works as intended, but whenever the Unity stuff gets imported, it just disappears entirely, making it impossible to export Unity Titles to visionOS.

Hi everyone! We use to have an intel Mac machine where we generate the Developer ID Installer & Application certs for signing and notarization process. This process works sweet. Now, we move from an intel to a m1 Mac machine, where we want to do the same process as before. I had try two different approaches, but ending up with the same result. I export the cert with the private key from my intel to the m1 machine, but when I try to sign, I get: Invalid signature. (Not sure what this error means in this case as everything works on the intel machine. I am guessing the cipher for creating either the private key or the signature differs between the architecture) I try to generate new certs for this m1 machine, but I get the following error: You already have a current Developer ID installer certificate or a pending certificate request. I try with the same account, but also with a different account. In both cases got the same error. I create a ticket for apple, where they said to expect a reply between one and two business days, but no luck yet.

I've added my Vendor ID to the appropriate entitlement files but my binary fails validation when trying to upload it to the store for distribution. The embeded.mobileprovision file in the generated archive shows an asterisk instead of my approved Vendor ID. How can I make sure the embedded provisioning file has my Vendor ID?

I have a bizzare issue with my Apple TV that is shown as "iPod" in Apple developer portal. It's correctly visible in Xcode as Apple TV, but when I add it to developer portal it says "iPod". The problem is since it's there as an iPod I can't use it to my provisioning profile to build on the device Anyone has any idea how this can be solved? [Edited by Moderator]

I am trying out the new xcode 16, and am trying to sign some existing apps. I have a .developerprofile from xcode 15. But I cannot find a way to import it (I think I need the private certs, in order to sign an app). There is no "import" button at the bottom of the Accounts tab, within the xcode Accounts Settings.... Is there any other way (e.g: Terminal) to import an existing .developerprofile into xcode? Or am I missing something?

I developed it as Unity. Originally, I updated Unity to the latest version to fix the problem of not being able to log in to Apple. That's when I found out my team ID had changed. The current Apple membership team ID is HBEMGSUAQ3, When I check "Automatically manage sing" in Xcode Selected with the team ID "ESB392LR64". Where did this team come from all of a sudden? I've only used "HVEMGSUAQ3" for a very long time. The change in ID was a test build while developing another project yesterday, but it changed then. If I manually select the provisioning profile of my project "Failed to install embedded profile for : 0xe800801f (Attempted to install a Beta profile without the proper entitlement.)" This error appears and the test installation is not possible.. So I created a new certificate, identifier, and profile. However, it continues to be created with the ID of "ESB392LR64". Keychain registration is also naturally registered with "ESB392LR64" status. Again, my team ID is "HVEMGSUAQ3" and there is no way to check "ESB392LR64" on my dev page... This situation suddenly appeared when my certificates were updated with the ID of "ESB392LR64" on June 12, and What I suspect is that I updated my MacBook to the latest version of OS on the day of the issue. Please let me know what's going on. I'm hoping it's not a big deal....

Hello there! I found the page on Docs about Editing provisioning profiles: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/manage-profiles/edit-download-or-delete-profiles/ but there, are showed only cases where one should edit it or when it is expired. It is not showed the case where the profile IS ABOUT to expire. What If it is about to expire and I want to act before expiring? Somewhere on the forum I read that clicking "save" with no changes could be enough, but it is not clear to me if I need to choose something more about it. I add a screenshot since It seems to me the UI changed a bit recently. using Enterprise developer program, in-house distribution I can see no certificate with dec 31 2025 (+ - 1 day) on my dev page certificates list. but I have, among my certificates, an iOS distribution certificate with exactly nov 23 2026 es expiration date. why are two choices present with two different expiration dates? with which criteria should I pick one or the other? if I have no need to change something, what should I do or do not in this screen at renewal time? (I.E. at beginning of December 2024?) app Id should be the bundle id, is it so? but in this moment app and id are different, shouldn't they be the same?

I'm trying to upload a build to app store connect. It's a build from a Unity project with the polyspatial SDK, and I also need to include a c++ library, which I've added as a dylib signed with the same provisioning profile as the app. The profile is an Apple Distribution profile created from an enterprise account. It succesfully uploads to Appstore connect, but fails with the following error message: ITMS-90426: Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing. Rebuild your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmit it. This is unhelpful as I'm using a current version of Xcode. I've read that it's a provisioning issue, but I'm using the provisioning profile for apple distribution on an enterprise account, not an ad hoc profile. I've tried manually adding the SwiftSupport folder from the Xcode toolchain to the ipa/xarchive, resign and upload with Transporter, but that doesn't work. After spending a day trying to troubleshoot this, I'm at a loss. Any help with this is much appreciated. Note: I can sideload the app onto an AVP with an ad hoc build and ad hoc provisioning profile (I've added the signed dylib to build phases Link with Libraries and Embed Frameworks). Somehow this doesn't need the SwiftSupport?

Starting Point I recently transferred an app from an old to a new developer account. The transfer itself went smoothly with the app using the following capabilities: CoreData, CloudKit, Push Notifications, In-App Purchases Keychain is not used After completing the app transfer, I worked on a new update. For this, I set the new developer account as the development team of the project in Xcode. However, as soon as I try to install the new version locally on my physical test device, I get the following error message: application-identifier entitlement string ({new_team_id}.{bundle_id}) does not match installed application's application-identifier string ({old_team_id}.{bundle_id}); rejecting upgrade.` (Note: The test device has the latest production version installed, which was still published by the old developer account. The update can be installed without any problems if no previous version is installed. {new_team_id}, {old_team_id} and {bundle_id} are a substitute for the original content.) What I've tried so far I found a Technical Note on this topic and followed the steps suggested. However, the Apple Support wasn't able to provide me with the required Special Provisioning Profile. That's why I tested a different approach with a dummy application: I have completed an update as described above (new developer account selected as development team). Next, I uploaded it to App Store Connect and published it as a new version. I received the following warning during the upload process, but ignored it since I don't use the keychain: At first glance, the publication process appears to have gone smoothly. While the update caused the above error during local testing, the update via the App Store went smoothly. As the latest production version has now also been published from the new Apple Developer Account, further updates can now also be tested locally on a physical device without any problems. Questions Why is it that the update causes an error when tested locally, but works without problems via the App Store? Can this approach also be used without concern for an app with a large active user base, which also uses the capabilities described above (in particular CoreData & CloudKit) without causing problems? Thanks a lot for your support in advance!

We want to make an app for the customers to install ipa files without use of third party apps or Other devices like Xcode, ITunes

Hi, I'm looking to update an old build for our app but we can't seem to download the certificate for Xcode. The button seems to be greyed out, not sure what to do to resolve this.

I have a .NET MAUI iOS app where its provisioning profiles at first expired a few days ago. So I created new "Apple Development" and "Apple Distribution" certificates using an existing certificate signing request created on 19 October 2023 at 11:46 AM, included the new certificates in the expired provisioning profiles, regenerated and downloaded the provisioning profiles. In the "bundle signing" section of the "project properties" window of Visual Studio for Mac version 17.6.14 (build 413), I have made the following settings: Configuration: release Platform: any CPU Signing identity is not set to automatic I have selected the correct provisioning profile, but when deploying the app in release mode, the following error message is thrown so the app cannot be deployed to the device: ERROR: Failed to install the app on the device.

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?
