Missing com.apple.application-identifier

Hi,

I recently updated Xcode to 11.6 and since then my apps aren't accepted by Apple any more. I get the following error:

Missing com.apple.application-identifier in provisioning profile.

I've recreated all the certificates, identifiers and profiles, deleted all profiles from Mac and restarted Xcode but still nothing helped.

The app was working fine last week and I have not made any changes to the code base or required entitlements which might have resulted in the error.

The provisioning profile has application-identifier entitlement, but when uploading it's invalid and complains about missing com.apple.application-identifier

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

I have the same problem with Xcode 11.5
Only for the iOS app of the project. The Mac version in the same Xcode project just worked.

Uploading in Xcode 12 works normally (you can't submit apps for review yet > "ITMS-90111: Invalid Toolchain")

From Aiiboo:

then I did this:
Install the "Transporter" app from the macOS App Store.
OPEN Xcode 11.5 archive your project
Close Xcode 11.5 -> Command + Q
Open then Xcode 12 Beta
From Xcode's organizer, select your archive and press "Distribute App"
Instead of "Upload", select "Export" and proceed as usual.
Drop the exported .ipa into the transporter and press "Deliver".

I solved it with this: (I exported to upload it to a firebase distribution)

Archive with Xcode 11.6
Quit Xcode 11.6
Open Xcode 12 beta2 (don't open the project)
Open Window -> Organizer
Distribute the App "normally"

I saw this in our application when using macOS Big Sur/Xcode 12–the provisioning profile that Xcode generated just didn't have this entitlement for some reason. I was able to solve it by switching from "automatic signing" to "manual signing", then turning it back to "automatic" which made Xcode find the profile with the right entitlements.

Did you ever get your app working in Xcode and able to publish it? I've run into the same problems with Xcode upgrades from 11 to 12. Apple Dev is useless so far. It's a serious problem. Was there any resolution for you?
