It looks like APS Environment is configured by setting the aps-environment value in an app entitlements file to either development or production. However, it seems to be the case that, by default, Xcode automatically overrides the set value when an app is signed and the value is instead derived from the provisioning profile. So, for development profiles, you get development (sandbox) aps-environment, and for distribution profiles, you get production aps-environment configured - regardless of how the setting has been configured in the entitlements plist. This is documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/aps-environment That document also states that this default behaviour can be overridden: "These default settings can be modified". Question is, how to override these default settings. In other words, how to point aps-environment to production, even if provisioning profile is development. Any insight appreciated, thx.

Some of our user roles, eg Customer Support, are no longer seeing any of the Apps assigned to them in the Apps section of App Store Connect. Yesterday they had no issues, but after last nights updates to App Store Connect, it seems they can no longer see the apps assigned. I have attempted work arounds, like re-assigning other apps, removing and re-instating app access, removing and re-inviting user, to no avail. The users impacted are using Edge Browser and Chrome browsers on Windows machines, with same results. Caches have been cleared, and so on.

We currently have an Enterprise Developer account and find it a challenge to manage devices, profiles, and so on in an automated fashion. I am curious to understand if an API interface, similar to App Store Connect API is available - for Enterprise. There is no option in the Enterprise 'Users and Access' tab to manage or create API keys, like there is in a regular Apple Developer Account. An API would greatly simplify much of our processes. We currently use Fastlane Spaceship to manage automated/scripted tasks around this, like adding new devices, adding devices to profiles, and so on. We manage in the order of 70 provisioning profiles, so, it may be appreciated that adding even one device to that many profiles is not something you want do manually via the web interface - you script it - so we use Fastlane. The issue is that Fastlane Spaceship uses a 'workround' that basically emulates a user web session, and so requires re-authentication when user session expires, and also requires re-authentication by 2FA when AppleID session expires each month. This is no good for scripted automation on a server, as user interaction is then required. So, I guess this is a request, or an insight as to whether or not API functionality, via API keys is coming soon to Enterprise, or never coming, or if there is some other mechanism we can use - or do we just stick with fastlane? We have looked at Custom Apps, but don't think that fits our needs, as the apps we build hit internal test systems, which are not publicly accessible, and so not available for App Store review teams, as our understanding is that Custom apps must still pass App Store review and TestFlight review. Thanks.

Sometime since July 2024 the list of devices in our Enterprise Account is showing the same device and UDID 6 times. Looking at the DATE REGISTERED field it is apparent that each instance of the device represents the 'old' device that should have been 'deleted' when the annual device reset was actioned. The date registered field shows dates with 2019, 2020, 2021, and so till 2024 (most recent). I have 'disabled' two of the entries to see what happens, and those instances were disabled as expected without impacting the other instances. However, when attempting a re-enable of them, an error throws saying that they cant be enabled because that UDID already exists - obviously the other instances. For now, I have left 4 active duplicates in place, and the 2 disabled ones as they are, and plan to deal with this again - if it re-occurs in 2025. It does not seem to have impacted provisioing profiles - so will leave well enough alone. I am sure if I disable all of them, I will not be able to re-enabled any of them. Is this a know issue? Is this the best strategy? - ie, wait till device reset next year and hope issue is resolved. This post had similar issue, in 2023, but no response Forum Post 733264
