I am trying out the new xcode 16, and am trying to sign some existing apps. I have a .developerprofile from xcode 15. But I cannot find a way to import it (I think I need the private certs, in order to sign an app). There is no "import" button at the bottom of the Accounts tab, within the xcode Accounts Settings....
Is there any other way (e.g: Terminal) to import an existing .developerprofile into xcode? Or am I missing something?
Hello, This feature as been removed and Xcode no longer supports exporting and importing developer profiles. To transfer your signing identities, you can either export them from Xcode in the Manage Certificates sheet or export them from Keychain Access.
Who thought this was a good idea?
Once again Apple insists on changing what was a simple 2-step process to move signing assets from one machine to another. The old process packaged everything neatly into one developerprofile file. Now, it is a. mishmash of moving individual assets one at a time.
Way to go Apple!
This just caught me out!.. Thought I'd do a clean install for Sequoia as I was having performance issues. Exported my developer profile in preparation only to find import isn't an option anymore.
Wasted over an hour of my life hunting for the button and then transferring all the certificates from another machine - lucky I had one!
Not impressed
If anyone wants to dup it, I created Feedback FB15838445 and Apple is responding to it, asking how I used the feature. Fingers crossed they reinstate it.
asking how I used the feature
Hahaha that made me laugh! How about to move to a new Mac, or after a clean install.
Not entirely sure how else it could be used...
