Profile doesn't include the com.apple.application-identifier entitlement.
I have tried everything and still I am getting this. Just for a test I created a new app (Master-Detail template Xcode 11.5) I have created an entry in the iTunes Connect to receive the app upon archiving and uploading. I regenerated all new certificates for iOS Development and Distribution. I created all new Provisioning profiles. The Dev profile builds deploys and runs on my device The Dist profile builds but when I select the distribution profile I get the "Profile doesn't include the com.apple.application-identifier entitlement." error. When I download the profile within Xcode all looks good for the distribution profile: App ID: matches correctly Certificated: 1 Included includes the new signing certificate "iPhone Distribution...." Capabilities: 3 Included Includes Game Center, In-App Purchase, and Keychain Sharing Entitlements: 5 Included Includes application-identifier, keychain-access-groups, beta-reports-active, get-task-allow, and com.apple.developer.team-identifier. Im not sure what is going on. This is a standard process I have performed for quite a while. As a matter of fact I just submitted 3 applications last Sunday. Thank you for any suggestions.

How do you renew distribution certificates and create a cert request
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

Xcode not creating distributable archive
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

Cannot add provisioning profile to any devices with Xcode
Hello. I have an iOS app written in Xamarin, but this issue is not related to Xamarin or Visual Studio. I am trying to deploy my xamarin app onto an iOS device, but I am unable to get the iOS device to install the provisioning profile via Xcode. I work at a company with a decent variety of test devices and the result seems to be the same from iPads to iPods to iPhones of various ages. I have created a certificate and a provisioning profile. The certificate is associated with the provisioning profile on the developer portal. I have imported the certificate (including private keys) into my login keychain on MacOS. I have the .mobileprovision file downloaded to the machine. I am signed into Xcode with my apple developer account. In Xcode, i went to Window > Devices and Simulators and selected my device. I right clicked my device and selected "Show Provisioning Profiles". I clicked the plus and chose my .mobileprovision file. I get the same error on every device: Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device. Please ensure the provisioning profile is configured for this device. If not, please try to generate a new profile.| this is an incredibly vague and unhelpful error. I'm not really sure what it means by "configured for this device". Not sure where to go from here

Implications of an expired distribution certificate
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.

Basic question: How to renew certificate before it expires
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!

Mystified by certificate renewal process
I got an email from Apple, "Your Developer ID Installer Certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days". So I went to my certificates page on developer.apple.com, and I see the attached photo. Basically, yes, I have a Developer ID Installer Certificate that expires 2023/07/01; but I also have one that expires 2025/12/08, and one that expires 2026/01/09, and one that expires 2026/12/15, and another that expires 2026/12/16! Why do I have all these certificates? I have no idea. There is a "+" button to add a new one; but given that I already seem to have ones that won't expire for several more years, do I need to? There does not seem to be a "-" button, or any way to clear out this cruft. I then recalled that perhaps I have managed my certificates in Xcode in the past, not on this page (or maybe I have done both, at different times?). So I went to Xcode, and things seem to be rather a mess there too, but in a different way (second image attached). Here, I seem to have lots of stale certificates that are in gray and say "Not in Keychain" – how do I clear those out? Again there does not seem to be a "-" button. And the newer ones that I saw on developer.apple.com do not seem to be listed here, maybe – it's hard to compare, though, because on developer.apple.com it shows the expiration date but not creation date, whereas in Xcode it shows creation date but not expiration date. What should I do? Note that I am not a member of multiple different teams, or anything like that; I'm a solo developer. This stuff is really confusing and does not seem to be well-documented anywhere that I have found. Am I just being dense?

Verify Developer Certificate
Hi there :) We are trying to install our application from Xcode to an iPhone 14 Pro. After building the app, we need to go to General -> VPN & Device Management to trust the certificate. Unfortunately, the certificate is not showing on the iPhone, and we can not install the app. Does anyone know how we can solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

An error has occurred. Unable to display information about the selected item.
Hello, I'm have a new Macbook and setup my Enterprise account. Part of my job is to view the expiration dates on certificates for other users. This should be a simple process but when I click on the certificate, there's a button "view certificates" I should be able to click on and see the expiration date and basic details on that specific certificate. The problem I have is that when I click on "view certificates", I get the error: "An error has occurred. Unable to display information about the selected item." I've tried steps online but to no avail. How can I get this fixed? My two other coworkers are able to just click on that button and view the certificate details, except for me. I've attached the screenshot. Thank you for your help Regards JJ

Codesign fails when executed in CI runner
Hello, I am setting up a build (Gitlab CICD) runner. I create a keychain and imported certificate and my signing key. $ security find-identity -v XXXXXX "Developer ID Application: XXXXXX, INC. (XXXXXX)" (CSSMERR_TP_NOT_TRUSTED) 1 valid identities found $ security find-identity -p codesigning -v XXXXXX "Developer ID Application: XXXXXX, INC. (XXXXXX)" 1 valid identities found Codesign fails with unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Developer ID Application: XXXXXX, INC. (XXXXXX)" errSecInternalComponent On the local machine everything is fine. I think the point is that the identity is both valid and CSSMERR_TP_NOT_TRUSTED. What can I do about it?

Developer ID certificate missing private key
Hi, I created a developer id certification from my apple developer account a couple of year ago and downloaded it as .cer file into my Laptop. Now I want to use this certificate to sign my application, but unfortunately Xcode shows an error message like 'Missing Private Key" and I can also see that there is no private key under my developer id certificate(there is no grey arrow to expand to see private cer) in keychain access. Moreover my developer account is expired and I do not want to extend it yet so unfortunately no solutions with apple developer account will work like creating a new certification etc. Do you have any other solutions like using Keychain Access or Xcode to link my private key again into my developer id certificate? Note: 1-.cer file was created on my laptop by me, which I am using now. So I would expected that the related private key should already exist in my Keychain Access(if I did not delete it mistakenly.) but I do not know which private key is the relevant one, I have several of them. 2-I have also a CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest file which was copied near my .cer file. Maybe it could be useful for a solution? 3-No! unfortunately I do not have any .p12 file. 4-I had already installed current AppleWWDRCAG3 file before I import my .cer file into my Keychain Access Tool. 5-Get Info shows that my cer file is still valid till sep 2025. 6- I have already restarted my Xcode and laptop. 7-I tried all solutions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12867878/missing-private-key-in-the-distribution-certificate-on-keychain 8-https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/ shows me no certificate with the reason that my membership expired 9-I removed and re-added my apple account into Xcode. the same error occurred. XCODE:Version 15.3 (15E204a) OSX:macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 Thanks a lot in advance.

One app Multi-platform. The concern of a novice developer
Hello . Currently, only the ios version is on sale on the App Store. The application is offering an icloud-linked, auto-renewable subscription. I want to sell to the app store connect with the same identifier, AppID at the same time. I simply added visionos to the existing app project to provide the visionos version early, but the existing UI-related code and the location-related code are not compatible. We used the same identifier with the same name, duplicated and optimized only what could be implemented, and created it without any problems on the actual device. However, when I added the visionos platform to the App Store cennect and tried to upload it through the archive in the app for visionos that I created as an addition, there was an error in the identifier and provisioning, so the upload was blocked. The result of looking up to solve the problem App Group -I found out about the function, but it was judged that a separate app was for an integrated service, so it was not suitable for me. Add an APP to an existing app project via target and manually adjust the platform in Xcode -> Build Phases -> Compile Soures -> Archive upload success?( I haven't been able to implement this stage of information yet.) I explained the current situation. Please give me some advice on how to implement it.visionos has a lot of constraints, so you need to take a lot of features off.

key not found in keychain error when debugging on local device connected to my windows dev machine
I made some changes to my MAUI app in VS 2022 on Windows 11. I had no trouble testing my app on a locally connected iPhone before, but now when I try to debug the same app (with changes), on the same iPhone, and the same Windows machine, with the same valid certificates in the VS Apple Accounts Details, I get this error: iOS code signing key 'Apple Development: B... (...)' not found in keychain. Why is it even referring to the keychain when I'm on a Windows machine using VS2022 valid certificates in the VS Apple Accounts Details Also, I'm getting "MSB6006: 'codesign' exited with code 3." error when trying to test/debug on a remote mac machine.

How to renew ad-hoc provisioning profile without outage
Hello, We currently have an IOS Mobile app using the ad-hoc provisioning profile with a distribution certificate. We are wanting to renew the ad-hoc provisioning profile BEFORE it expires. How do i do this without causing the application to break AND prevent the user from having to re-trust the. Can i simply create a new ad-hoc provisioning profile associated with the old certificate, rebuild the app, and send the link to the user?

Provisioning profile KVS identifier issue after app transfer
Hello, after migrating one of our apps, APP, from the one developer account to another, we are experiencing an issue with provisioning profiles. In the provisioning profile of APP (com.SOME.APP), we have a wrong value for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier key used for iCloud KVS. The value is OLDTEAMID.com.SOME.APP.EXTENSION while it should be just OLDTEAMID.com.SOME.APP. The previous value must be instead present in the provisioning profiles for the EXTENSION (OLDTEAMID.com.SOME.APP.EXTENSION) for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier key. Please let me know if you know something about this issue. This is blocking us from releasing the application. Thank you!
