I’m facing an issue with my macOS app after code signing and notarization. The app is signed with my Developer ID and notarized using xcrun notarytool. Everything works fine on the machine where the signing was done — Gatekeeper accepts it, no warning appears, and codesign/spctl checks pass. However, when running the same .app on other Macs, users receive a Gatekeeper warning saying the app is "malicious software and cannot be opened". The signature is valid and the notarization log shows status: Accepted. What I've tried: Verified signature with codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 Checked notarization status via xcrun notarytool log Assessed Gatekeeper trust with spctl --assess --type execute Everything passes successfully on the development machine. Why would the app be treated as malicious on other systems even after notarization? I'm happy to share logs and technical details if needed.

Dear support team, is it possible to rename a notarized ZIP package and not to loose the notarized status? One of our ZIP package contains resources and binaries which are code signed. The archive itself is accepted after submitting and uploading during the notarization process (online notarization). Unfortunately, the ZIP cannot be stapled (offline verification). So, is the filename part of the notarized ZIP package or can a ZIP package be renamed? Best regards, Stefan

I've been trying to have an app I've built notarized by Apple. The processing hangs there for hours just waiting. I even tried with a tiny 1KB test file, it has been stuck for 25+ minutes, and I have 7 real submissions stuck for 24+ hours. Any Apple representative can help please? I need to publish and release my app asap.

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?

I can create an ipa file with vs using the wildcard bundle identifier but this is rejected by apple when I upload with the Transporter app saying invalid identifier and no distribution profile/certificate. When I create a new distribution profile with the correct XC identifier and distribution certificate and try to archive with visual studio publish says the bundle id is not a match for the distribution profile with iOS? This is a net 10 net maui project and my first build attempt

Hello Apple Developer Forum Community, I’ve got a problem with the signing process of my AppClip Test App. Can someone help me? As I don’t know hot to get the certificate...

App Notarization got stuck, showing In-Progress from last 24 hrs. This is really frustrating. Can anyone plz update on this?

Error 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization" - Cannot notarize any apps I'm trying to notarize macOS apps for Developer ID distribution and consistently getting error 7000 on every submission. Error Details: { "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support at developer.apple.com under the topic Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions.", "statusCode": 7000 } What I've tried: Completed enrollment verification Created new App Store Connect API key with Admin access Created fresh App-Specific Password Submitted via both API key and App-Specific Password authentication All submissions are accepted and uploaded successfully, but after processing they're rejected with error 7000 Technical Details: Active Developer ID Application certificate Hardened runtime enabled Apps are properly code-signed (codesign -vvv passes) Behavior: Over 15 submissions since December 2nd - ALL rejected with the same error 7000. The submissions upload successfully and show "In Progress" for extended periods (sometimes hours) before eventually being rejected. Questions: Has anyone encountered error 7000 and resolved it? What was the fix? Are there any account settings or agreements required specifically for notarization that aren't obvious in the developer portal? Should I contact Apple Developer Support directly, or is there a self-service solution? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm experiencing an issue when exporting an Enterprise distribution certificate where the certificate and private key won't export together - the private key keeps getting left out. I'm running macOS Tahoe. Has anyone encountered the same issue or know of a solution? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, This is my first time notarizing an app with Developer ID. I have submitted multiple notarization requests, and all of them have been stuck in "In Progress" status. The oldest one was submitted over 24 hours ago. Is this normal for first-time submissions? How long should I wait before contacting support? Thanks!

Hi First, I hope I'm in the right place, I'm not certain. I'm having my first attempt at IOS development and want to see the progress I've made on my phone. I plugged it in to my Mac and selected it as a preview device and got the following messages in the Signing & Capabilities screen: Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/ No profiles for '...' were found: Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching '...'. My account and personal team are shown in the Xcode settings, but it says 0 Provisioned Devices. I also tried restarting, and enabled developer mode on the phone. I checked the provided link, but saw nowhere to add a device ID. Clearly I don't understand what I'm doing. Can anyone help me make sense of this?

Hi, I was sent here by Apple developer account, it seems here is the only option for me, so your help is very much appreciated! Basically we are building a chromium based browser on iOS, we applied the "com.apple.developer.web-browser" entitlement, and it shows up in our identifier, profile etc. The app is signed with the new entitlement and published to the app store. However it is not listed as an option for default browser, doesn't matter which device I tried. I did verified that the Info.plist contains http/https urlschemes as required. In fact a few of us checked all available documents multiple times and still couldn't see why.

I'm unable to sign the an example application using xcode and "automatically manage signing". The error I'm getting is: CodeSign [...] (in target 'foobar' from project 'foobar') Signing Identity: "Apple Development: [xxxx] " /usr/bin/codesign --force --sign 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E -o runtime --timestamp\=none --generate-entitlement-der [filename] 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E: no identity found Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code However, I am able to see a certificate and a private identity on my keychain: % security find-certificate -aZ | grep -i 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E SHA-1 hash: 4ABB258102FF656E9F597546A49274C28D2B8B3E and % security find-key -s | grep -q 'Apple Development' && echo YES YES what is puzzling is that security does not find an identity: % security find-identity -p codesigning Policy: Code Signing Matching identities 0 identities found Valid identities only 0 valid identities found but XCode claims that everything is working fine. Anybody knows what might I be missing? I tried logging out, requesting new certificates, rebooting, moving them to another keychain, and asking to developer friends.

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?

Hi All, I am building my own MDM server. It seems that in order for the MDM commands to function an MDM Push Certificate for the APNS framework. And in order to get the MDM Push Certificate from the Apple Push Certificates Portal (https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/) you need to upload your CSR usually provided and sign by the MDM Vendor of your choosing. I am familiar with this process. But now that I am the MDM Vendor, I am not sure where to get this MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate. I've already submitted a formal request via the "contact us" form. Apple's response pointed me to the documentation on Setting Up Push Notifications and the MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate help page (which I had already reviewed): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/setting-up-push-notifications-for-your-mdm-customers https://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/mdm-vendor-csr-signing-certificate/ The issue is that these documents describe using the signing certificate, but not the process for obtaining it as a new, independent vendor. So does anyone know of a portal or method of generating this “MDM Vendor Certificate”? or maybe I'm going about this all wrong and there is a simpler way… the again, its apple, so I’m probably on the right path just beed a little direction please. (I am not sure where to get this MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate.)

When I try to archive an app in order to submit it to the App Store I receive the following errors I do not know how to fix: error: Framework /Users/fbartolom/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Virtual_Tags-apzduassdiglhcapscsllvzbfgid/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Virtual Tags/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/VirtualTags.app/Frameworks/StoreKit.framework did not contain an Info.plist (in target 'VirtualTags' from project 'Virtual Tags') error: Framework /Users/fbartolom/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Virtual_Tags-apzduassdiglhcapscsllvzbfgid/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Virtual Tags/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/VirtualTags.app/Frameworks/Security.framework did not contain an Info.plist (in target 'VirtualTags' from project 'Virtual Tags') error: Framework /Users/fbartolom/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Virtual_Tags-apzduassdiglhcapscsllvzbfgid/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Virtual Tags/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/VirtualTags.app/Frameworks/CloudKit.framework did not contain an Info.plist (in target 'VirtualTags' from project 'Virtual Tags') MacBook Pro M5, Tahoe 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1

Hi there, I am trying to build the Apple SimpleAudioDriver example but fail with codesign and/or provisioning. I would be ok for now with the local option, but XCode 16.4 doesn't show the option "build to run locally" (SIP is disabled). When using "Automatically manage signing" it ends in a "Please file a bug report". I found that having two different development teams tripped it up, so I deleted all certificates and keys and made sure to be only signed into one account in Xcode. Can anyone give advice? Thanks a ton! Here is the URL to the sample: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreaudio/building-an-audio-server-plug-in-and-driver-extension macOS: 15.6.1 XCode: 16.4 Hardware: MacBook Pro M2 Max SIP: disabled

I am using Automatically Manage Signing And I have registered my Mac UUID in developer account, but it is still giving me these errors - Device My Mac is not registered to your team Ai Glider Inc.

Today, I used xcrun notarytool submit to upload my packaged Electron app for macOS—once as a .zip file and once as a .dmg—for Apple notarization. However, both submissions have been stuck at "Current status: In Progress" for several hours now. I’ve also checked the status using xcrun notarytool info, and it keeps returning status: In Progress. Could someone please help me understand what might be going wrong? This is quite urgent—if a technical support engineer or anyone from the team could take a look, I’d be glad to provide the UUIDs of my notarization requests.

Hi everyone, I am trying to generate an .ipa file for my .NET MAUI (net9.0-ios) application, but every attempt fails with the same codesigning error. I have tried multiple approaches, including building from Windows paired to macOS, and directly building through the macOS terminal, but nothing is working. Below are the exact steps I followed: Steps I Performed 1.>Generated the Apple Development certificate using Keychain Access on macOS. 2.>Added that certificate into my developer account and created the corresponding provisioning profile. 3.>Created an App ID, attached the App ID to the provisioning profile, and downloaded it. 4.>Added the provisioning profile into Xcode. Verified that the certificate is correctly visible in Keychain Access (private key available). Attempted to build/publish the MAUI app to generate the .ipa file. Issue Whenever I run the publish command or build via Windows/macOS, codesigning fails with the following error: /usr/bin/codesign exited with code 1: Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework: replacing existing signature Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Apple Development: Created via API (8388XAA3RT)" Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework: errSecInternalComponent Failed to codesign 'PCS_EmpApp.app/Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework': Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Apple Development: Created via API (8388XAA3RT)" PCS_EmpApp.app: errSecInternalComponent Build failed with 4 error(s) and 509 warning(s) Environment .NET: 9.0 MAUI: latest tools Xcode: 26.0.1 macOS: 26.0.1 Building for ios-arm64 (device) What I suspect It looks like the signer certificate might not be trusted, or the certificate chain cannot connect to an Apple root CA. But the certificate was created using the Developer website and appears valid. Need Help With Why is codesign unable to build the certificate chain? Do I need a different type of certificate? (App Store / Distribution vs Development?) How can I successfully generate the .ipa file? Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
