I have an App in production and want to add new capabilities to the app. Will adding additional capabilities cause the production App to break?

Hi, When I try to create an App ID for my app, I get the following message: "An App ID with Identifier '' is not available. Please enter a different string. I have not manually created an App ID under my team with this bundle identifier. I have 'Automatic Signing' checked in Xcode but am unable to upload or register an app with the same bundler Identifier through Xcode as well. I am not a member of any other team so this bundle identifier should be unique and should not have been used before. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I have a .NET MAUI iOS app where its provisioning profiles at first expired a few days ago. So I created new "Apple Development" and "Apple Distribution" certificates using an existing certificate signing request created on 19 October 2023 at 11:46 AM, included the new certificates in the expired provisioning profiles, regenerated and downloaded the provisioning profiles. In the "bundle signing" section of the "project properties" window of Visual Studio for Mac version 17.6.14 (build 413), I have made the following settings: Configuration: release Platform: any CPU Signing identity is not set to automatic I have selected the correct provisioning profile, but when deploying the app in release mode, the following error message is thrown so the app cannot be deployed to the device: ERROR: Failed to install the app on the device.

Hi, I'm looking to update an old build for our app but we can't seem to download the certificate for Xcode. The button seems to be greyed out, not sure what to do to resolve this.

We want to make an app for the customers to install ipa files without use of third party apps or Other devices like Xcode, ITunes

Starting Point I recently transferred an app from an old to a new developer account. The transfer itself went smoothly with the app using the following capabilities: CoreData, CloudKit, Push Notifications, In-App Purchases Keychain is not used After completing the app transfer, I worked on a new update. For this, I set the new developer account as the development team of the project in Xcode. However, as soon as I try to install the new version locally on my physical test device, I get the following error message: application-identifier entitlement string ({new_team_id}.{bundle_id}) does not match installed application's application-identifier string ({old_team_id}.{bundle_id}); rejecting upgrade.` (Note: The test device has the latest production version installed, which was still published by the old developer account. The update can be installed without any problems if no previous version is installed. {new_team_id}, {old_team_id} and {bundle_id} are a substitute for the original content.) What I've tried so far I found a Technical Note on this topic and followed the steps suggested. However, the Apple Support wasn't able to provide me with the required Special Provisioning Profile. That's why I tested a different approach with a dummy application: I have completed an update as described above (new developer account selected as development team). Next, I uploaded it to App Store Connect and published it as a new version. I received the following warning during the upload process, but ignored it since I don't use the keychain: At first glance, the publication process appears to have gone smoothly. While the update caused the above error during local testing, the update via the App Store went smoothly. As the latest production version has now also been published from the new Apple Developer Account, further updates can now also be tested locally on a physical device without any problems. Questions Why is it that the update causes an error when tested locally, but works without problems via the App Store? Can this approach also be used without concern for an app with a large active user base, which also uses the capabilities described above (in particular CoreData & CloudKit) without causing problems? Thanks a lot for your support in advance!

I'm trying to upload a build to app store connect. It's a build from a Unity project with the polyspatial SDK, and I also need to include a c++ library, which I've added as a dylib signed with the same provisioning profile as the app. The profile is an Apple Distribution profile created from an enterprise account. It succesfully uploads to Appstore connect, but fails with the following error message: ITMS-90426: Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing. Rebuild your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmit it. This is unhelpful as I'm using a current version of Xcode. I've read that it's a provisioning issue, but I'm using the provisioning profile for apple distribution on an enterprise account, not an ad hoc profile. I've tried manually adding the SwiftSupport folder from the Xcode toolchain to the ipa/xarchive, resign and upload with Transporter, but that doesn't work. After spending a day trying to troubleshoot this, I'm at a loss. Any help with this is much appreciated. Note: I can sideload the app onto an AVP with an ad hoc build and ad hoc provisioning profile (I've added the signed dylib to build phases Link with Libraries and Embed Frameworks). Somehow this doesn't need the SwiftSupport?

Hello there! I found the page on Docs about Editing provisioning profiles: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/manage-profiles/edit-download-or-delete-profiles/ but there, are showed only cases where one should edit it or when it is expired. It is not showed the case where the profile IS ABOUT to expire. What If it is about to expire and I want to act before expiring? Somewhere on the forum I read that clicking "save" with no changes could be enough, but it is not clear to me if I need to choose something more about it. I add a screenshot since It seems to me the UI changed a bit recently. using Enterprise developer program, in-house distribution I can see no certificate with dec 31 2025 (+ - 1 day) on my dev page certificates list. but I have, among my certificates, an iOS distribution certificate with exactly nov 23 2026 es expiration date. why are two choices present with two different expiration dates? with which criteria should I pick one or the other? if I have no need to change something, what should I do or do not in this screen at renewal time? (I.E. at beginning of December 2024?) app Id should be the bundle id, is it so? but in this moment app and id are different, shouldn't they be the same?

My Mac died and I need to revoke all Developer ID certificates which I cannot do myself. I have 5 of each so can't currently add new ones. How do I get these removed. I have submitted a ticket to Apple 10 days ago but other than the acknowledgment have heard nothing. I am totally stuck!

I uploaded the ipa package to the Apple Developer Center, and it keeps showing the error "Asset validation failed (90161): Invalid Provisioning Profile." The provisioning profile included in the com.ttlock.roommaster bundle (Payload/keeperapp) is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate]. It says that my certificate is invalid, but I have created it many times and followed all the procedures correctly. However, I still cannot upload it successfully! I don't know how to solve this problem.

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

Hello there, I need guidance understanding what some certificates are related to. a) On my Apple developer page home I see that RENEWAL date for my apple developer enterprise program subscription is 2024-october-10 b) in devices section, there is a banner showing that my membership will EXPIRE on 2024-october-09 c) in certificates section I have 6 "development" certificates expiring in multiple dates from 2024-october-11 to 2025-may-22. these ones are "certificate Type - development" and **"certification name with my personal name" ** none of dates in certificates section matches exactly renewal or expiring dates for my apple developer page subscription or profile certificate. why dates in a and b are different? what are certificates in certificates section (those mentioned in "c") ? they seems different from "mac development" and such. What happens if they expire? thank you in advance.

I have applied for the app push provider permission in the Network Extension entitlement, but have not received a response yet. How long does it take to apply for authorization?

I have a Safari Extension deployed to test flight built and deployed using CLI tools in Azure Devops. It appears to be building, signing, and deploying properly. But when users try to install on TestFlight, they see an error saying something about an invalid provisioning profile. This seems to just be on the "installer" portion of the app. The extension shows up in safari settings and is otherwise useable. The users just aren't seeing the splash screen that instructs them to go to Safari Settings. I'm not really sure what's wrong here. This is what my build pipeline looks like - task: Bash@3 displayName: "Build export.plist file" inputs: targetType: 'inline' script: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :method string mac-application" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :provisioningProfiles dict" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :provisioningProfiles:$(APP_IDENTIFIER) string $(InstallDistProvisioningProfile.provisioningProfileUuid)" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :signingCertificate string '$(InstallDistCerts.signingIdentity)'" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :signingStyle string manual" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :teamID string $(APPLE_TEAM_ID)" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :iCloudContainerEnvironment string Production" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :stripSwiftSymbols bool true" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :compileBitcode bool false" $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist - task: Xcode@5 displayName: "Build Safari Extension" inputs: action: "archive" sdk: "macosx" packageApp: true xcodeVersion: "15" args: "-verbose CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=Yes CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=Yes" exportOptions: "plist" exportOptionsPlist: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist' exportMethod: "mac-application" archivePath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/SafariDesktopExtension.xcarchive' signingOption: "default" - script: | xcodebuild -exportArchive \ -archivePath $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/SafariDesktopExtension.xcarchive \ -exportPath $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) \ -exportOptionsPlist $(Pipeline.Workspace)/export.plist displayName: 'Export Distribution-signed App' - task: DownloadSecureFile@1 displayName: "Download Provisioning Profile" name: downloadProvisioningProfile inputs: secureFile: $(PROVISIONING_PROFILE_DIST) - script: | cp "$(downloadProvisioningProfile.secureFilePath)" "$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/SafariDesktopExtension.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile" displayName: "Embed provisioning profile in Top-Level Executable" - script: | cp "$(downloadProvisioningProfile.secureFilePath)" "$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/SafariDesktopExtension.app/Contents/PlugIns/SafariDesktopExtension Extension.appex/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile" displayName: "Embed provisioning profile in Extension" - script: | codesign --deep --force --verify --verbose --sign "$(InstallDistCerts.signingIdentity)" --entitlements "$(rootFolder)/safari/SafariDesktopExtension/SafariDesktopExtension/SafariDesktopExtension.entitlements" $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/SafariDesktopExtension.app displayName: "Codesign" - task: Bash@3 displayName: "Package Application" inputs: targetType: "inline" script: | productbuild --sign "$(InstallInstallerCert.signingIdentity)" --component "$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/SafariDesktopExtension.app" /Applications "$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/SafariDesktopExtension.pkg" I'm sure there's a bit of garbage here as I'm new to developing in the apple ecosystem. But it appears to work and the resulting .pkg can be submitted successfully. Effectively, that's building an archive using a plist for export options, exporting the archive for distribution, copying the distribution provisioning profile for the top-level executable (the one that's not working) and the extension itself, code signing, and packaging using the installer cert. The provisioning profile (attached to a Mac distribution certificate) mentioned has the correct application identifier and matches the entitlements. I'm not really sure what's going on here and the generic "invalid provisioning profile" error isn't helping. Any help would be appreciated. I'd also love to know if this could hold up a release.

I created a distribution profile (many, many, many times now) but no matter what I do, when I go to Accounts under Xcode it lists it there, no problem, but when I go to VS for Mac or even VS Code the distribution profile simply doesn't seem to exist. In VSCode it just doesn't;t appear as an option but in VS For Mac it at least tells me that "No valid profile was found" and it instructs me to make sure everything is setup properly. Normally when this happens I delete every single last key and certificate from KeyChain and on the Apple dev portal and I start from scratch making sure to add all my devices, creating a new certificate using a new CSR, selecting Apple Distribution and... nope, Xcode sees it just fine, bat I can't build any MAUI apps because "No valid profile was found" Once in a while, doing the same thing for the n-th time actually works and lo-and-behold there is the profile! Hallelujah! Then I install the latest version of MacOS or Xcode or Visual Studio and poof goes my profile. So I create it again and no luck. So I delete it and this time say "iOS publishing only, please" and lo and behold the profile appears... then I go to sleep / drink a coffee / reboot / think of pizza and lo-and-behold my profile is gone again. I restart the entire process deleting everything and after n attempts it finally shows ... until it doesn't, any more. When it comes to development, I click a button and the app is on my phone. When it comes to TestFlight it takes me weeks to get a profile visible so I can send it to Apple. Now as an added bonus the "Archive for distribution" option vanished from VS For Mac also. Fun. This prompted me to try and use VS Code, which is when I found that I have the same problem there as I do in VS For Mac. So the TL;DR version is that VS For Mac has a simple GUI interface while VS Code requires a simple keyboard shortcut before clicking the mouse a few times, both apps make life super simple... but neither can do the job of generating a distribution build because neither can see the distribution certificate. The only thing that can see it is Xcode What am I doing wrong? Why does it take weeks of doing the same thing over and over, praying for different results, only to be blessed with a success every n-th time lasting for n2 days before the loop restarts?

I had used the bulk uploading template for uploading UDIDs for multiple iPads (43) to create a ad hoc provisioning profile , however I had mentioned only iOS in platform section while bulk uploading and everything got registered in the apple developer platform. Is there anyway for me to re-upload / change the platform to include iPadOS as well. As all my devices are iPads

I've followed all the posts (most of which are fairly stale). I've generated dozens of certificates both for "Apple Development" and "Apple Distribution", created several profiles of "iOS App Development" and "App Store Connect". Up until now I have had very little problem installing my app (generated using Ionic/Capacitor v5/Angular v16, Xcode 15.4, macos 14.6). Now when I try to install directly on a test device (I've used regularly, previously), I get "Failed to verify code signature of... The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid..." I've restarted Xcode and macbook. I've deleted all certificates and revoked all profiles, and started over. I have tried using automatic signing and manual signing. Nothing is working. I just want be able to install the app on a test device (mostly to see logs in Xcode's console), and to be able to upload the same app to appstoreconnect. What am I doing wrong?

I’m facing the dreaded codesign command fails with 'errSecInternalComponent' and looking for some guidance. I have removed the “Apple World Wide Developer Relations Authority” certificate that expired in 2023 from both the Login and System Keychain and have downloaded the latest intermediate certificates I found. I have verified all the Trust Settings are configured to “Use System Default”. I did the basic codesign check suggested in an earlier post [https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/712005]: % security find-identity -p codesigning Policy: Code Signing Matching identities 675CE18312BFBE2735918BA897908D20DB0A774D "Apple Development: Peter Sichel (537G2NTM55)" 1 identities found Valid identities only 675CE18312BFBE2735918BA897908D20DB0A774D "Apple Development: Peter Sichel (537G2NTM55)" 1 valid identities found % cp "/usr/bin/true" "MyTrue" % codesign -s "Apple Development" -f "MyTrue" MyTrue: replacing existing signature MyTrue: errSecInternalComponent —— It seems I’m still missing something. What else can I check to debug the problem?

At some point I had to renew my Mac App Store certificates, so I've done so, and now that I'm attempting to build for submission to the app store, I'm getting: "No certificate for team 'My Name' matching '3rd Party Mac Developer Application: My Name (MY_ID)' found". But where to get a 3rd Party Mac Developer Application certificate? Under Xcode's "Manage Certificates", there is no "3rd Party Mac Developer Application" under the "+" button. There are only: Apple Development Apple Distribution Mac Installer Distribution Developer ID Application Developer ID Installer (all of which I have).
