Hi there I'm having issues signing my app after the app was transfered to my account. This is what I did (in order) and what is happening. Accepted the transfer Updated som code Tried to update the old app with the new app on a test device. This failed with the message Upgrade's application-identifier entitlement string (..DKG.dk..) does not match installed application's application-identifier string (...3ZG.dk..); rejecting upgrade. Added the required entitlements file to XCode to reflect both teams. Now signing fails with the error Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: ...hyp..." doesn't include the previous-application-identifiers entitlement. Requested a new profile from Apple but got rejected What do I do now? Thanks

Hey all, I’m experiencing a consistent issue with notarizing a signed .pkg file that contains a macOS screen saver (.saver) bundle. Nothing online so far except 1 thread on the form from the altool time pre-2023 so i thought it worth another update. Here is what I did: I signed the .saver bundle using my Developer ID Application certificate. I packaged it into a .pkg using pkgbuild with my Developer ID Installer certificate: I submitted the resulting .pkg via xcrun notarytool: xcrun notarytool submit saver-name.pkg --apple-id email@email.com --password [app-specific-password] --team-id xxxxxxxxx The submission appears to be accepted and uploads successfully. However, the notarization status remains stuck at “In Progress” for hours (over 12h), with no update. I also tried: Repackaging the .pkg with a new name using a zip Resubmitting it under a new submission ID All attempts are stuck in the same “In Progress” state indefinitely. Did anyone solve this yet?

I am trying to notarize a simple app I made, but keep getting stuck on "In Progress". The app is a MacOS app, and I'm using XCode. I've tried all the steps listed in the links below: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing-macos-software-before-distribution https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/resolving-common-notarization-issues I've had the same issue with another app, which got rejected after multiple hours. Never got to resolve this.

I've developed a Mac app distributed through the App Store that uses NSAppleScript to control Spotify and Apple Music. I'm experiencing inconsistent behavior with automation permission prompts that's affecting user experience. Expected Behavior: When my app first attempts to send Apple Events to Spotify or Apple Music, macOS should display the automation permission prompt, and upon user approval, the app should appear in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation. Actual Behavior: Initial permission prompts work correctly when both apps are actively used after my app download. If a user hasn't launched Spotify/Apple Music for an extended period, the permission prompt fails to appear when they later open the music app. The music app doesn't appear in the Automation privacy pane too. Once this happens, permission prompts never trigger again for that app Steps to Reproduce: Fresh install of my app Don't use Spotify for several days/weeks Launch Spotify Trigger Apple Events from my app to Spotify No permission prompt appears, app doesn't show in Automation settings If you're using Apple Music during this time it runs without any problems. Troubleshooting Attempted: Used tccutil reset AppleEvents [bundle-identifier] - no effect Verified target apps are fully launched before sending Apple Events Tried different AppleScript commands to trigger permissions Problem occurs inconsistently across different Macs Technical Details: macOS 13+ support Using standard NSAppleScript with simple commands like "tell application 'Spotify' to playpause" App Store distribution (no private APIs) Issue affects both Spotify and Apple Music but seems more prevalent with Apple Music Questions: Is there a reliable way to programmatically trigger the automation permission prompt? Are there timing dependencies for when macOS decides to show permission prompts? Could app priority/usage patterns affect permission prompt behavior? I use MediaManager to run the functions and initialize it on AppDidFinishLaunching method and start monitoring there. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. This inconsistency is affecting user onboarding and app functionality.

Hello, I am on maxOS 14.6 and I developed a C++ application for macOS with graphical-user interface by using wxWidgets. The .app application bundle is built correctly and the application runs. Now I would like to sign it to get it notarized. I get the following error sudo codesign -vvv --deep --strict MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp MyApps.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp: code has no resources but signature indicates they must be present If I check the signature I get % pkgutil --check-signature MyApp.app Package "MyApp": Status: package is invalid (checksum did not verify) How may I fix this? Thank you!

I developed an app using Unity and exported it as an iOS project file so that I could package it in Xcode. Now, I’m facing an issue where users who previously installed version 1.0 are still seeing the old version after installing the updated version 2.0. Although the installation process for version 2.0 appears to complete (with the installation animation), the app still opens as version 1.0. I am an individual developer but used enterprise signing for distribution. I’m quite confused and have looked into the issue—some sources mention it might be related to CFBundleVersion, but modifying it didn’t help. I’d really appreciate some help with this. o(╥﹏╥)o

App is built using jdk21, jpackage to create dmg, pulls in the needed jre. Been working fine until about a week ago when notarize start failing bad signing, which when examined it's complaining modified files - a handful of jre license and copyright text files. DMGs built, signed and notarised successfully are now failing codesign verification. Has a macOS 15.1.1 release or Xcode 16.1 patched something, is there new behaviour to be aware of plse?

Hi, We've created a new version of our macOS version of our app, but when I now try to upload the generated .pkg to App Store Connect via Xcode or Transporter we get this error message: ITMS-90286: Invalid code signing entitlements - Your application bundle’s signature contains code signing entitlements that aren’t supported on macOS. Specifically, the “AppIDPrefix.my.bundle.name” value for the com.apple.application-identifier key in “my.bundlename.pkg/Payload/appname.app/Contents/MacOS/appname” isn’t supported. This value should be a string that starts with your Team ID, followed by a dot (“.”), followed by the bundle ID. Setting the code signing to automatic or does not make a difference. Our app has a different App ID Prefix as our Team ID and when I try to upload the app to App Store Connect I get this error message, does anyone know how we can fix this issue? We used to be able to upload the apps without issues.

I have 14 total devices, from way back. I am currently in a financial bind and can't renew just yet. BUT I am at past my time to reset the device list back to zero. But the screen to do that is behind the paid account. Catch 22 Can we fix it? As it stands I must email tech support, but this is a bug so I posted

Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue while trying to publish an app on TestFlight. The app in question is Home Assistant, which I've compiled from the source. I am able to compile and install the app on my device without any problems. My company's developer account is properly configured, and I have set Xcode to automatically manage the provisioning profile. The archive is also created successfully, but when I attempt to upload it to Apple Store Connect for testing via TestFlight, I receive the following error: ERROR: [ContentDelivery.Uploader] Asset validation failed (90525) Missing Entitlement. The bundle 'Home Assistant.app/PlugIns/HomeAssistant-Extensions-PushProvider.appex' is missing entitlement 'com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension'. (ID: ceac6dcc-9c76-412e-8ea7-f2d2845f8013) I've made several attempts to resolve this issue to no avail. For instance, if I add the missing capability manually, then I am informed that the provisioning profile is incorrect. However, checking the network extension settings on my company's dev account, I see nothing related to push notifications, which are located elsewhere. Thus, I am stuck in a loop where either the provisioning file is correct but the entitlement is missing, or if the entitlement is present, then the provisioning profile is deemed incorrect.

Hello, I've been trying to notarize a Unity 2023.2 app since yesterday, but our submissions stay stuck in In Progress. The first one has been running for 18 hours now with no signs of stopping, and two more attempts have been made since with no results. Here are the submission IDs in case someone on the team wants to take a look: 00ef6def-601b-46f3-a94f-699d8956a28f d03f5748-2261-430c-934e-14fa9679afd9 a42d3b5c-3cdb-4bf2-9c86-c92320358ff3 Thank you!

I am reaching out regarding a persistent issue I have been facing with code signing. Despite extensive troubleshooting, I am unable to resolve the problem, and I would greatly appreciate your assistance. When attempting to sign my electron application with codesign with the following command: codesign --keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain --sign “Developer ID Application: MYNAME (DEV-ID)” --force --timestamp --options runtime --verbose=4 dist/mac-arm64/my.app I receive the following error message: “Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer ‘Developer ID Application: MYNAME (DEV-ID)‘“. This prevents me from successfully completing the code signing and notarization process. To resolve this, I have meticulously tried to troubleshoot the problem. Here are the steps taken so far: Imported Certificates into Keychains: I imported all necessary certificates (including Developer ID Application, Developer ID Certification Authority, Apple Root CA and Apple Root CA - G2) into the keychain. I tested with both the System and Login keychains (one at a time to avoid errors due to duplicates) Checked Trust Settings: I confirmed that the trust settings for the certificates are properly configured to “Always Trust.” I verified the private key is present in Keychain Access and is properly linked to the public certificate. Ensured valid identity: I ensured that the correct Developer ID identity is valid and the associated private key is available (security find-identity -v -p codesigning and security find-key -t private | grep “MY NAME”) Ensured keychain access permissions: I ensured that the respective keychain has access permissions (security set-key-partition-list -S apple-tool:,apple: -s -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain) Verified matching Issuer and Subject to build certificate chain: I verified that the Issuer and Subject fields in the certificates show the correct references to build the certificate chain. Deleted and Re-imported Certificates: I deleted and re-imported the certificates multiple times to ensure there were no import issues or corruption in the certificates. Tested simplified setup: I attempted to sign simple files, such as a plain .txt file, using the Developer ID Application certificate I also attempted signing with minimal flags to rule out any issues with the app structure or build configuration Updated Xcode Command Line Tools One potential factor is that I am signing the application on a different machine from the one where the certificates were originally generated. I included the private key when exporting the certificate as a .p12 file from the original computer and imported it into the second computer’s keychain. This second computer is not connected to iCloud, and I suspect this could potentially affect the signing process. Despite all these efforts, the issue persists, and I am unable to identify the root cause. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on resolving this matter so I can successfully complete the code signing and notarization process. Thank you for your time and support.

I was able to setup a release test for an iOS app for distribution using a web server. It works perfectly fine for all the devices I registered for the deployment profile. However every time I try to distribute a Unity based Vision Pro application using the same process for building the package and set up for distribution it does not work. Safari only shows a message telling me: "Cannot connect to ." When trying to install the iOS app from the same server it shows the message "Do you want to install ?" and installation completes correctly. My iOS is a simple hello world app generated by Xcode. My Unity app is an AR app targeting com.apple.platform.xros. According to documentation there should not be any difference in deployment profiles/signing for iOS apps vs. visionOS apps. What am I doing wrong? Any hint is appreciated how to continue.

I will post my app xyz.app uses XY swift package this swift package is a wrapper for XYSDK.xcframework XYSDK.xcframework written in c++ and app running on arm64 macos and iphones succesfully. I got this error when i want to distribute it. Currently i sign .framework for ios with Apple Distribution Certificate and same certificate for macos framework there is no other signing step for swift package or xcframework other than that when i want to archive it validates succesfully. Exporting step shows that app has signed, has provisining profile. but .framework is only signed has no provisioning profile. Also one point i see: i have one target named xyz and its Frameworks, Lİbraries and Embedded Context has only XY package but Embed part has no option like embed and sign etc. Blank. I need more info about what am i doing wrong in which step ? I am stuck and can not move any further like weeks Error Detail: Invalid Signature. The binary with bundle identifier XYSDK at path “xyz.app/Frameworks/XYSDK.framework” contains an invalid signature. Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose “Clean All” in Xcode, delete the “build” directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target. For more information, please consult https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing. (90035)

After upgrading the iOS system to 18.3.1, the APP crashed continuously when it was launched. The following log was seen in the device log： Bootstrapping failed for <FBApplicationProcess: 0x72ad16b80; app<com.xxxx.yyyy>:> with error: <NSError: 0x300cd4d80; domain: RBSRequestErrorDomain; code: 5; "Launch failed."> { NSUnderlyingError = <NSError: 0x300cd4ab0; domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain; code: 85> { NSLocalizedDescription = Launchd job spawn failed; }; } Our APP is in-house distribution What are the possible causes? How can I solve it?

Notarization has been stuck for hours in "Current Status: In Progress...." Should I keep on waiting or restart the process. If I need to restart the process, how should I go about and do that?

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.

Runner has conflicting provisioning settings. Runner is automatically signed, but code signing identity Apple Development: my dev account has been manually specified. Set the code signing identity value to "Apple Development" in the build settings editor, or switch to manual signing in the Signing & Capabilities editor. How to fix it nah
