I'm getting this error when uploading a build of my macOS app to App Store Connect. It has always worked before, and nothing changed about my use of app groups, and the iOS build uploaded without any problems. Cleaning the build folder and derived data folder doesn't help. I'm using automatically managed signing in Xcode.
Invalid code signing entitlements. Your application bundle’s signature contains code signing entitlements that aren’t supported on macOS. Specifically, the “[group.]” value for the com.apple.security.application-groups key in “.pkg/Payload/.app/Contents/MacOS/” isn’t supported. This value should be a string or an array of strings, where each string is the “group” value or your Team ID, followed by a dot (“.”), followed by the group name. If you're using the “group” prefix, verify that the provisioning profile used to sign the app contains the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement and its associated value(s).

My app is a Safari extension. When trying to validate the app, I get the following error:
App sandbox not enabled. The following executables must include the "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" entitlement with a Boolean value of true in the entitlements property list: [( "app.rango.Rango.pkg/Payload/Rango for Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Rango for Safari" )] Refer to App Sandbox page at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/app_sandbox for more information on sandboxing your app.
I don't know why this is happening. I have app sandbox enabled in both the app and the extension target. I have both entitlement files. When executing codesign -d --entitlements :- /path/to/binary I get the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "https://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict><key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key><true/><key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key><true/><key>com.apple.security.get-task-allow</key><true/><key>com.apple.security.network.client</key><true/></dict></plist>
If I check on Activity Monitor, on the sandbox column it shows true. I have no idea why I keep getting this error when all indicates that the app is actually sandboxed.
Hi,
We have an app that is a default mail client, so it has this entry in its entitlements file: com.apple.developer.mail-client. This seems to create issues with ad-hoc distribution.
We can distribute the app on App Store Connect without any issues and have been doing so for a while.
We wanted to try using Xcode Cloud to manage our releases. The app export works fine for both App Store Distribution and Development Distribution.
However, the ad-hoc distribution step fails. (We don't need ad-hoc distribution, but Xcode Cloud seems to prevent us from removing this step.)
I tried building and releasing the app locally for ad-hoc distribution and encountered the same error as on Xcode Cloud.
When Xcode tries to generate the profile, it outputs the following error:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile: com.infomaniak.mail" failed qualification checks:
Profile doesn't support Default Mail App.
Profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.mail-client entitlement.
Is it something broken with our config ? What are we missing ?
Local error in Xcode Organizer:
Remote error on Xcode cloud:
I keep getting this error when trying to install Audio app extension.
Everything is reviewed from certificates to profiles, for some reason
CreatingCustomAudioEffects sample is deployed correctly but when Creating new Project (Audio Extension App) from new project Option, it doesn't work at all.
If I remove Extension from Frameworks and deploy app, then no problem but then App crashes as extension is missing. Something wrong with Xcode? I am pretty sure it used to build new projects but not anymore.

Please ensure sure that your app is signed by a valid provisioning profile.

Hello! I'm suddenly having some difficulty debugging a Flutter-based app. When I run an app from VS Code, it launches Xcode and builds & installs the app on an iPhone running 18.1. However, once the app is installed on the phone, it disappears and in Xcode, a dialog appears with:
Failed to install embedded profile for : 0xe800801f (Attempted to install a Beta profile without the proper entitlement.)
However, when I look at the provisioning profile being used, it seems to have the correct entitlement:
I've also tried enabling automatic signing (instead of the current manual signing using match), as well as generating an adhoc profile and re-adding the device UDID in developers.apple.com. None of these have worked.
This issue appeared within the past day or so and was working fine yesterday with no code changes, so I've been stumped. All my certs are relatively new and were issued within the past few months. I've tried regenerating the provisioning profiles using match, but this gives the same thing.
What's odd is that I can run the build and upload to testflight, then download and install the app just fine through there. But this obviously makes debugging an issue.
I am working on a MacOS application in which I need System Extension along with some network extension capabilities. In order to distribute the app externally, I have to create a Developer ID application (provisioning profile) using the App ID that already has Network extension capability. I have followed this documentation to create the App ID and provisioning profiles:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension?language=objc
What I have:
2 App IDs (For app with network and system extension capability and for extension with only network extension capability)
*2 Developer ID application (For both App and Extension)
My App's entitlement file contains:
<key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key>
<array>
<string>app-proxy-provider</string>
<string>packet-tunnel-provider</string>
</array>
My system extension's entitlement file contains:
<key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key>
<array>
<string>packet-tunnel-provider</string>
<string>app-proxy-provider</string>
<string>content-filter-provider</string>
<string>dns-proxy</string>
</array>
Both the targets now have the following error:
Provisioning profile "StandaloneCSAExtension" doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension entitlement.
Note: Instead of Developer ID application if I create a normal development provisioning profile with the same App ID, everything works perfectly fine, the only reason why we need to move to Developer ID application is because we need to distribute the app externally.
Please help me if I have missed anything. Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to add keychain-access-groups capability to my app for MacOs devices and I'm getting an error while signing the code.
If I add this capability to an app for iOS devices, this does not happen and it works correctly. Are there any limitations to using this capability on MacOS devices?
My entitlement file is the following:

I've got a Flutter app that is a “reader” app. The External Link Account Entitlement has already been requested and granted. It is already added as an Additional Capability to the App ID. The com.apple.developer.storekit.external-link.account entitlement is already present in the .entitlements file. Also SKExternalLinkAccount key is added to the Info.plist file with the correct URL.
ExternalLinkAccount.open() is invoked via a MethodChannel call handler and things work perfectly in debug mode. The modal appears as expected and opens the link in the external browser.
Xcode archive is also sucessful and the entitlement seems to be in place when inspecting the app with:
codesign -d --entitlements :- ./path/to/app
But when trying to distribute the app via Xcode the entitlement disappears. Other entitlements are not affected by this issue, eg.: com.apple.developer.associated-domains for universal links. This happens with automatically managed singing and a manually selected provisioning profile as well. When inspecting the latter in Xcode the necessary capability and entitlement is included. But when distributing to App Store Connect the entitlement disappears with both recommended and custom settings.
I ran flutter clean mulitple times. What am I missing here?
hi
I am using fastlane and match to upload an app to test flight. The app requires com.apple.developer.storekit.external-link.account to be activated.
My identifier has activated the capabilities and when I look at provisional profile, it also has it, but when the app has been uploaded, it's missing (although all other entitlements are there).
Now it gets weird:
Every time I run my flow I delete derived data, deletes all downloaded provisional profiles and use match to redownload them with read only (force is not an option).
It does not work. I go to Apple dev and Toggles the capability off and on and saves. This invalidates the profile. I press edit and save. So no real changes. Run my flow and the app is uploaded correctly WITH the correct capabilities. Runs the flow again without the manual steps and the entitlements will be missing once again.
Repeats the toggle stuff and the subsequent behavior repeats itself. Same flow and same code and same settings, app and profile....
I am building automated flows so this does not really work for me....
Heeeelp...
A few weeks ago I requested the subject entitlement. I'm still waiting for it to be added to our account. Who or how can I find out what going on with it. I have no correspondence from Apple yet saying it was denied and why.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.persistent-content-capture?language=objc
Thank you.
I applied for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement on November 22nd. But I never received a confirmation email after I submitted the request.
I then reached out to support who said they would check with the internal team to at least confirm if I had applied.
It's now been 20 days and I have received no updates on the status of my application.
This entitlement is existential to my app and I have been completely blocked while waiting for this as I can't even distribute the app on TestFlight.
I've considered reapplying again just to be safe, but I am worried that might make things worse.
I am a bootstrapped solo founder, and a prolonged delay (or outright denial) of this entitlement would be devastating to me.
Does anyone have any advice on where to go from here?

zzz is a command tool build by make, I need codesign it.
#1. use two lines below, run succes, but get 'App sandbox not enabled' problem
codesign -s "TTT1" -f -v --timestamp --options runtime dist/m_arm64/zzz
codesign -s "TTT1" -f -v --timestamp --options runtime dist/m_x64/zzz

codesign -s "TTT2" -o runtime --entitlements zzz.entitlements -f dist/debug/zzz
lipo -create dist/m_arm64/zzz dist/m_x64/zzz -output dist/zzz
lipo -archs dist/zzz
otool -L dist/zzz
the zzz.entitlements content is
the Info.plist embedded in zzz is
#codesign both success
codesign -d -vvv ./zzz
#use method 2, the sandbox poblem ok
codesign --display --entitlements - ./zzz
why when codesign with entitlements, the zzz cant run success? if I upload to appstore, the client will get the zsh error?
Has anyone encountered this kind of problem before?

What is the actual ASN.1 structure of the DER encoded entitlements used for iOS and MacOS applications?
You can see a sample output at 'The Future is DER', but is there any official documentation or definition?
I have a werid case that shouldn't happen according to https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706390
I have an audio unit which runs in FCP and I want it to launch a sandboxed app as a child process.
If I sign the child app with just "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" entitlement it crashes with SYSCALL_SET_PROFILE error.
According to the article referenced above: "This indicates that the process tried to setup its sandbox profile but that failed, in this case because it already has a sandbox profile."
This makes sense because audio units run in a sandboxed environment (in AUHostingService process).
So I added "com.apple.security.inherit" to the entitlements plist and now I get "Process is not in an inherited sandbox." error.
According to the article referenced above: "Another cause of a trap within _libsecinit_appsandbox is when a nonsandboxed process runs another program as a child process and that other program’s executable has the com.apple.security.app-sandbox and com.apple.security.inherit entitlements. That is, the child process wants to inherit its sandbox from its parent but there’s nothing to inherit."
And this doesn't make sense at all. The first error indicates the child process is trying to create a sandboxed environment within a parent sandboxed environment while the second error indicates there's no a parent sandboxed environment...
I specifically checked the child process has "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" and "com.apple.security.inherit" entitlements only.
If I remove all entitlements from the child process it launches and runs fine from the audio unit plugin. And if I remove "com.apple.security.inherit" but leave "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" I can successfully launch the app in standalone mode (in Finder).
For the testing puroses I use a simple Hello World desktop application generated by XCode (Obj-C).
Does anybody have an idea what can be the reason for such a weird behavior?
I want to use the com.apple.vm.networking entitlement which has a note:
This entitlement is restricted to developers of virtualization software. To request this entitlement, contact your Apple representative.
https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/ says:
« Request entitlements using entitlement forms and ask for status updates in the resulting email thread. » but I haven't been able to find these "entitlement forms". Does anyone know what the right process is to request an entitlement?
We have a DriverKit entitlement for our USB driver. We now wish to use this same driver with a variant of our existing application. Of course this application has its own separate App ID and will be published in the App Store alongside our existing application.
Will we need to go back to the well and ask Apple for another entitlement?
Hello,
I cannot build a signed app that will both be accepted by Testflight and run locally. Only one or the other!
I'm singing my .app and building the package thus:
CODESIGN_ID="Apple Distribution: company (number)"
INSTALLSIGN_ID="3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: company (number)"
codesign --force --deep --entitlements plist.xcent -o runtime --timestamp --sign "$CODESIGN_ID" myapp.app
productbuild --sign "$INSTALLSIGN_ID" --timestamp --component myapp.app /Applications myapp.pkg
With entitlements:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>com.apple.security.get-task-allow</key>
<false/>
<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.inherit</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.application-identifier</key>
<string>TEAM.com.COMPANY.APPNAME</string>
<key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key>
<string>TEAM/string>
</dict>
</plist>
If I leave out the last two entitlements "com.apple.application-identifier" and
"com.apple.developer.team-identifier", the package validates and runs locally. It can be uploaded but it is NOT accepted by Testflight.
When i add the last two entitlements (above), it will not validate until i also add in my provisioning profile into; myapp.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile
When this is done, the package validates, uploads and is accepted by Testflight. It can be tested and runs.
But, myapp.app will no longer run locally!! no will the local copy of myapp.pkg install. It will only run through Testflight or will run again if i take out the above keys that Testflight apparently requires.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Am i doing something wrong.
Thanks for any help.
Hi,
we have received an Application via App Transfer recently. I am now trying to generate a provisioning profile for App Store distribution.
When we set the checkmark in Capabilities to use "iCloud Key-value storage" we cannot get "automatically manage signing" to work with an error:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.some.bundle.identifier" doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier entitlement.
When a Provisioning Profile is manually generated via Developer Portal the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier entry shows the value of the previous app owner: "OLDTEAM.com.some.bundle.identifier".
How can we change the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier value in our provisioning profile to get rid of the old team identifier?
Help is much appreciated, thank you.

This error occurs When I try to upload an app on the test flight or App Store. I checked "Automatically manage signing" in the main target. and i have added extensions DeviceActivityMonitorExtension, ShieldConfigurationExtension, ShieldActionExtension, DeviceActivityReport. and all have selected "Automatically manage signing" in the target > signing and capability.
pls provide me with an exact solution set by step.
Thank you
I'm working on a system extension leveraging endpoint security entitlement. However, while in development, is there a way to continue working and testing locally without having the endpoint security entitlement approved or needing the extension signed.
I got these errors running a build:
Provisioning profile "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: "com.xxxxx.extension" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.endpoint-security.client entitlement.
