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.

I'm trying to add signing certificate from developer.apple.com to my keychain but I'm getting to have error says "An error occurred. Unable to import certificate name. Error -25294". Certificate is valid and I can not do anything with this error. Any idea what can be the reason for this error?

The device UDID was registered to the developer account 40 hours ago, the STATUS column was "processing" in the first 24 hours, then turned to empty. But I still can't run my app (with distribution method "development"), when I try to run it after download it through my OTA URL, it prompts “the app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified” but everything runs good on a iPhone which was registered a month ago. What should I do now? keep waiting?

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.)

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 DriverKit system extension (dext) that uses PCIDriverKit. I would like to get the build environment straightened out to successfully distribute the dext and associated software to end users. There are three types of software involved: The Dext-hosting application - this is the application that must be installed to /Applications/, and will perform the registration of the dext. The dext is deployed "within" this application, and can be found in the /Contents/Library/SystemExtensions folder of the app bundle. The dext itself - this is the actual binary system extension, which will be registered by its owning application, and will operate in its own application space independent of the hosting application. Additional applications that communicate with the dext - these are applications which will connect to the dext through user clients, but these applications do not contain the dext themselves. There are multiple locations where settings need to be exactly correct for each type of software to be signed, provisioned, and notarized properly in order to be distributed to users: developer.apple.com - where "identifiers" and "provisioning profiles" are managed. Note that there are differences in access between "Team Agent", "Admin", and "Developer" at this site. Xcode project's Target "Signing & Capabilities" tab - this is where "automatically manage signing" can be selected, as well as team selection, provisioning profile selection, and capabilities can be modified. Xcode project's Target "Build Settings" tab - this is where code signing identity, code signing development team, code signing entitlements file selection, Info.plist options and file selection, and provisioning profile selection. Xcode's Organizer window, which is where you manage archives and select for distribution. In this case, I am interested in "Developer ID" Direct Distribution - I want the software signed with our company's credentials (Team Developer ID) so that users know they can trust the software. Choosing "automatically manage signing" does not work for deployment. The debug versions of software include DriverKit (development) capability (under App ID configuration at developer.apple.com), and this apparently must not be present in distributable provisioning. I believe this means that different provisioning needs to occur between debug and release builds? I have tried many iterations of selections at all the locations, for all three types of binaries, and rather than post everything that does not work, I am asking, "what is supposed to work?"

Hi, after 2 years of not updating my app on appstore i wanted to submit an update for my iOS app which also containts a watch app target. When i try to submit it to upload it i get the following errors: Failed registering bundle identifier The app identifier "(myappBundleID).watchkitapp" cannot be registered to your development team because it is nit available. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again. No Profiles for "(myappBundleID).watchkitapp" were found. Xcode culdn't find any iOS App Store provisining profiles matching "(myappBundleID).watchkitapp" Since i have my app already in store with that bundle identifier i don't know why it can not be registered to my team. Also i don't want to change the bundle identifier because then i can not publish it as update to store.

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 am having the most difficult time trying to figure out the process for just getting my development .p12 figured out. Full disclosure, being a windows user does not make my life any easier. Seems fairly straightforward on a mac (which I do not have) So I thought I would come here and see if I could collect information on getting working certs and keys on windows pc. Here's what I have so far: -OpenSSL -openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private_key.key -out cer_sign_request.csr Generates a key and a sign request. went to dev portal submit CSR --> recieved CER -back to OpenSSL -openssl x509 -in ios_development.cer -inform DER -out ios_development.pem -outform PEM CER-->PEM -openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey keyname.key -in ios_development.pem -out ios_development.p12 -"No cert in -in file 'ios_development.pem' matches private key" so here I am. Lost. Mind you I've tried the process in a few different ways and now I am on a mission to find my "private_key" somehow with no way to access keychain. I dunno feels convuluted. for good reason I am sure. If anyone has a streamlined version of how to get this done I will be forever indebted to you. Your time is greatly appreciated. for futher context I am just trying to get an eas build on my phone from expo. Thankyou!

I'm building an app that uses the Screen Time API and DeviceActivityMonitoring Framework. It works when I run the simulator build on iPhone 16 but when I try to launch it on my own iPhone, I get these errors. Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: Kanso- Digital-Wellness.Kanso-v2" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.device-activity.monitoring entitlement. KansoMonitorExtension 1 issue x Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: Kanso-Digital-Wellness.Kanso-v2.KansoMonitorExtension" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.device-activity.monitoring en... Read something online that said a reboot would fix this, but I tried and no luck. Any ideas? I'm not very technical, so would pay someone to fix this for me :)

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

I am attempting to sign a *.pkg for distribution but I get "Could not find appropriate signing identity for 'Developer ID Application: CompanyName'. I'm calling this command to sign: productsign --sign 'Developer ID Application: CompanyName' "unsigned.pkg" "signed.pkg" I've downloaded the WWDR Intermediates, when I go through Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Evaluate on the cert and select "Code Signing" I get "Evaluation Status: Success" and "Certificate Status: Good". Additionally my certificate shows up as valid in my keychain. I'm at a loss for what is going on.

I'm trying to download a profile for a developer download for an app, but I get this error and can't install the profile. I've already registered the device and UDID and added it to the profile. Please let me know what I need to do.

Im trying to compile a free app from GitHub for personal use but i cant sign it since everytime im getting the same error "0 identities found". I have added my Apple ID to Xcode accounts, but in manage certificates, it shows "status not in keychain". On keychain access > login, it doesn’t show any Apple dev certificate obviously, and when I run security find-identity in terminal, I get a 0 identities found, 0 valid identities found. I don’t know where to begin, every tutorial I find requires downloading a certificate from Apples Dev website but my account is a free developer, not paid. A few months ago I was able to compile this same app so I know I don’t need a paid dev account. Any help appreciated.

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?

Hello, first of all thanks for reading my post. I am having a trouble about Signing & Capabilities part on Xcode during few days. Hope someone knows how to deal with this. I created a Apple Development certificate with CSR on my MacOS through KeyChain but the Team ID(VC78G4S77J) on this certificate is different with my real Team ID(FYF9AT8ZA8) logged in. I don't even know where this 'VC78G4S77J' came from. Also I created the identifier, bundle ID, device and profile but they were all created with 'FYF9AT8ZA8'. So here is the problem. On Xcode Signing & Capabilities section, I selected Team and put Bundle Identifier connected with 'FYF9AT8ZA8' but Signing Certificate is shown as 'Apple Development: My ID (VC78G4S77J). Therefore when I build iOS simulator on Xcode or VScode, there is error 'No signing certificate "iOS Development" found: No "iOS Development" signing certificate matching team ID "FYF9AT8ZA8" with a private key was found.' If I try turn off 'Automatically manage signing' and select provisioning profile I created, Xcode said my profile does not include VC78G4S77J certificate, because my profile has FYF9AT8ZA8 certificate. Importing profile file is not helpful also. I think, first delete the all VC78G4S77J certificate in KeyChain and recreate FYF9AT8ZA8 certificate through KeyChain/CSR, however again VC78G4S77J certicate was created when I created on 'developer.apple.com'. I truly have no idea where did VC78G4S77J come from. Please let me solve this issue.. Warm regards.

After upgrading the virtual machines used for building and testing our macOS application, it seems that something new in Sequoia is preventing virtual machines from running anything signed with a Mac Development certificate. At first glance the issue seems very similar to this thread, but it could be unrelated. We are using the tart toolset to build and run our VMs. People seem to be having related issues there with Sequoia in particular. I have added the VM's hardware UUID to the Devices list of our account. I have included that device in the devices list of our Mac Development provisioning profile. I have re-downloaded the profile, ensured that it is properly getting built into the app, and ensured that the hardware UUID of the VM matches the embedded provisioning profile: Virtual-Machine App.app/Contents % system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep UUID Hardware UUID: 0CAE034E-C837-53E6-BA67-3B2CC7AD3719 Virtual-Machine App.app/Contents % grep 0CAE034E-C837-53E6-BA67-3B2CC7AD3719 ../../App.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile Binary file ../../App.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile matches However, when I try to run the application, it fails, and while I have searched the system logs to find a more informative error message, the only thing I can find is that the profile doesn't match the device somehow: Virtual-Machine App.app/Contents % open ../../App.app The application cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=5 "Launch failed." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Launch failed., NSUnderlyingError=0x6000039440f0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=153 "Unknown error: 153" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Launchd job spawn failed}}} Virtual-Machine App.app/Contents % log show --info --debug --signpost --last 3m | grep -i embedded.provisionprofile 2025-01-21 16:33:32.369829+0000 0x65ba Error 0x0 2872 7 taskgated-helper: (ConfigurationProfiles) [com.apple.ManagedClient:ProvisioningProfiles] embedded provisioning profile not valid: file:///private/tmp/builds/app/.caches/Xcode/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug/App.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile error: Error Domain=CPProfileManager Code=-212 "Provisioning profile does not allow this device." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Provisioning profile does not allow this device.} I don't understand why the provisioning profile wouldn't allow the device if the hardware UUID matches. I have also attempted to add the Provisioning UDID in the devices list instead, but the form rejects that value because it's a different format (the form specifically requests a hardware UUID for macOS development, and a provisioning UDID for everything else). If there is any debugging tool that lets me check a provisioning profile against the running hardware and print a more verbose reason for why it's not allowed on the device, please let me know. Otherwise I'd have to conclude that, since I haven't experienced this issue before on an earlier OS, it has something to do with virtual machines running macOS Sequoia. (The same Mac Development-signed application runs just fine on my MacBook Pro running 15.2, as well as the VM host, which is also running 15.2.) I have also tried resetting the VM's hardware UUID and adding that one to the devices list, to no effect. This is obviously seriously impacting our CI/CD pipelines to allow for proper UI testing of our application. If anyone is aware of any workarounds, I would love to hear them!

Title: Apple's Outdated and Restrictive Certificate Signing Process: A Barrier to Innovation Introduction In the dynamic field of mobile app development, the agility and freedom offered to developers can significantly dictate the pace of innovation and user satisfaction. Apple's certificate signing process, a legacy from an earlier era of computing, starkly contrasts with more modern approaches, particularly Android's Keystore system. This article delves into the cumbersome nature of Apple's approach, arguing that its outdated and proprietary methods hinder the development process and stifle innovation. The Burdensome Nature of Apple's Certificate Signing Proprietary Restrictions: Apple's certificate signing is not just a process; it's a gatekeeper. By forcing developers to go through its own system to obtain certificates, Apple maintains a tight grip on what gets published and updated. This closed ecosystem approach reflects a dated philosophy in an age where flexibility and openness are key drivers of technological advancement. Complex and Time-Consuming: The process to acquire and maintain a valid certificate for app signing is notoriously intricate and bureaucratic. Developers must navigate a maze of procedures including certificate requests, renewals, and provisioning profiles. Each step is a potential roadblock, delaying urgent updates and bug fixes, which can be crucial for user retention and satisfaction. Lack of Autonomy: Apple's centralized control means every application must be signed under the stringent watch of its guidelines. This lack of autonomy not only slows down the release cycle but also curbs developers' creative processes, as they must often compromise on innovative features to meet Apple's strict approval standards. Comparing Android’s Keystore System Developer-Friendly: In stark contrast, Android’s Keystore system empowers developers by allowing them to manage their cryptographic keys independently. This system supports a more intuitive setup where keys can be generated and stored within the Android environment, bypassing the need for any external approval. Speed and Flexibility: Android developers can use the same key across multiple applications and decide their expiration terms, which can be set to never expire. This flexibility facilitates a quicker development process, enabling developers to push updates and new features with minimal delay. The Impact on the Developer Ecosystem Innovation Stifling: Apple's outdated certificate signing process does not just affect the technical side of app development but also impacts the broader ecosystem. It places unnecessary hurdles in front of developers, particularly small developers who may lack the resources to frequently manage certificate renewals and navigate Apple’s rigorous approval process. Market Response: The market has shown a preference for platforms that offer more freedom and less bureaucratic interference. Android's growing market share in many regions can be partially attributed to its more developer-friendly environment, which directly contrasts with Apple's tightly controlled ecosystem. Conclusion Apple’s certificate signing method, while ensuring a secure environment, is an archaic relic in today’s fast-paced tech world. It binds developers with outdated, proprietary chains that hinder rapid development and innovation. As the technological landscape evolves towards more open and flexible systems, Apple’s restrictive practices could potentially alienate developers and erode its competitive edge. For Apple to maintain its relevance and appeal among the developer community, a significant overhaul of its certificate signing process is not just beneficial—it's necessary.

How do I replace an Apple Developer ID Certificate that indicates it is not trusted? When I look at my Certificate Expiring 02-20-2025, I see a valid status displayed. (See annotation #1.) However, when I look at my Apple Developer ID Certificate renewal, I see the words not trusted. (See annotation #2.) I downloaded the renewal certificate and double double-clicked the downloaded item to place it in my KeyChain. This certificate period is from 01-21-2025 to 01-22-2030. QUESTIONS Why does the renewal certificate say "certificate is not trusted"? (Its period is 01-21-2025 to 01-22-2030. Today is 01-27-2025.) How did the renewal certificate get damaged? What must I do to get the damaged certificate replaced with a valid one?
