Having some difficulties with signing the App with Certificate
Hello, I am rather new at publishing apps for Iphone and I am facing some difficulties. Maybe someone could point me what I am not understanding. I am having some issues handling the usage of the Development Certificate . I have created a CSR, supplied it at apple.developer system to get a development certificate. I downloaded such a certificate and installed it. When I try to use it I get this status saying it is not trusted : The result is this when trying to use it: " /Users/eao/build/dev/aquila_companion.xcodeproj: error: Missing private key for signing certificate. Failed to locate the private key matching certificate "Apple Development: Tiago DAagostini (GDH9UYDL8A)" in the keychain. To sign with this signing certificate, install its private key in your keychain. If you don't have the private key, select a different signing certificate for CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY in the build settings editor. (in target 'appaquila_companion' from project 'aquila_companion') " What am I missing? Where this p12 key should be? And is that related to that image where the Certificate is deemed not trusted?

Encountering Difficulty Importing Developer ID Application Certificate into iCloud Keychain
Hello fellow developers, I've come across a bit of a challenge and would appreciate some insights. I successfully backed up my Developer ID Application certificate as a .p12 file and smoothly imported it into my login keychain. However, when attempting to import it into my iCloud keychain for an added layer of backup security, I encountered two error messages: "One object could not be imported." "The selected keychain could not be found." Any thoughts or suggestions on resolving this hiccup would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your expertise!

TestFlight app became invalid when testers upgraded to OS 14.2
We've got 3 MacOS apps on TestFlight that all suddenly became unusable to our testers who upgraded the OS to 14.2. The error message says: "The application can't be opened. -10673" But also there was another window that opened up stating "The beta app, , is no longer available. The provisioning profile is invalid" The provisioning profile doesn't specify OS versions - it's signed with distribution and installation certificates for AppStore. These apps have been used that's been successfully provisioned, uploaded, downloaded and tested by various testers prior to now. Each app has an explicit Apple ID and provisioning profile - all still valid. What would cause this? How can I fix this?

0 valid identities found setting up signing certificates
I'm trying to setup a new build machine and I can't seem to get the signing certificates detected by the security tool with "0 valid identities found" My id is linked to a team but my role is "app manager". In my console I can see the certificates but cant download the developerID installer cert. In Xcode no ceritifcates show up for that team ID in the list. The certs were generated by the developer console. I had to get the client to insecurely send me the certs because of this restriction. I imported them into the keychain but the tool still won't show anything. Is this another problem not having the correct root certificate installed ? I had all this setup in a VMWAre which was working before I lost all data due to a crash so setting it up fresh on a mac mini. I should be able to have just synced the certs through xcode and start signing installers. I researched hundreds of pages and no answer for my problem.

Certificate Trust Settings - IOS requirements on CA-certificates?
Dear Users, I'm unable to mark an imported internal CA-certificate as trusted in latest IOS. The certificate does not show up in Certificate Trust Settings, however i was generally able to import and enable it. Where can i find technical specifications on what IOS requires? All i found was this article for IOS 13[1] however my root-certificate fulfills all requirements. I attach[2] the root-certificate for testing purpose to this post, so it can be tested & analyzed. Thank you. [1] https://support.apple.com/en-in/103769 [2] http://plzk.de/ROOT_CA.crt

Mystified by certificate renewal process
I got an email from Apple, "Your Developer ID Installer Certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days". So I went to my certificates page on developer.apple.com, and I see the attached photo. Basically, yes, I have a Developer ID Installer Certificate that expires 2023/07/01; but I also have one that expires 2025/12/08, and one that expires 2026/01/09, and one that expires 2026/12/15, and another that expires 2026/12/16! Why do I have all these certificates? I have no idea. There is a "+" button to add a new one; but given that I already seem to have ones that won't expire for several more years, do I need to? There does not seem to be a "-" button, or any way to clear out this cruft. I then recalled that perhaps I have managed my certificates in Xcode in the past, not on this page (or maybe I have done both, at different times?). So I went to Xcode, and things seem to be rather a mess there too, but in a different way (second image attached). Here, I seem to have lots of stale certificates that are in gray and say "Not in Keychain" – how do I clear those out? Again there does not seem to be a "-" button. And the newer ones that I saw on developer.apple.com do not seem to be listed here, maybe – it's hard to compare, though, because on developer.apple.com it shows the expiration date but not creation date, whereas in Xcode it shows creation date but not expiration date. What should I do? Note that I am not a member of multiple different teams, or anything like that; I'm a solo developer. This stuff is really confusing and does not seem to be well-documented anywhere that I have found. Am I just being dense?

JPackage : mac-signing-key-user-name?
I am trying to sign a Java application, packaged in a disk image, via jpackage, invoked via Ant (so no XCode anywhere). The packaging itself works fine, but I am having trouble figuring out the signing parameters. In particular, it seems I will have to provide a parameter --mac-signing-key-user-name What value should I give to this parameter? I have an Apple Developer Account (well, obviously...), I have generated a certificate and quite a few other things, but I am confused as to what the "signing-key-user-name" should be. The error message I currently get from jpackage is: No certificate found matching [...] using keychain [] I am on MAC OS 12.6 and JDK 17. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot add provisioning profile to any devices with Xcode
Hello. I have an iOS app written in Xamarin, but this issue is not related to Xamarin or Visual Studio. I am trying to deploy my xamarin app onto an iOS device, but I am unable to get the iOS device to install the provisioning profile via Xcode. I work at a company with a decent variety of test devices and the result seems to be the same from iPads to iPods to iPhones of various ages. I have created a certificate and a provisioning profile. The certificate is associated with the provisioning profile on the developer portal. I have imported the certificate (including private keys) into my login keychain on MacOS. I have the .mobileprovision file downloaded to the machine. I am signed into Xcode with my apple developer account. In Xcode, i went to Window > Devices and Simulators and selected my device. I right clicked my device and selected "Show Provisioning Profiles". I clicked the plus and chose my .mobileprovision file. I get the same error on every device: Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device. Please ensure the provisioning profile is configured for this device. If not, please try to generate a new profile.| this is an incredibly vague and unhelpful error. I'm not really sure what it means by "configured for this device". Not sure where to go from here

Xcode not creating distributable archive
Hi all, I'm using xcode 13.2.1. I go to Product>Archive. The app builds and creates an archive, but there's no data for "version, identifier, type, team, architecture, etc." It's just creating a "generic xcode archive." When I go to "distribute content" it doesn't give the typical distribution methods like "App store Connect, Adhoc, Enterprise, or Development." What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Thomas

Profile doesn't include the com.apple.application-identifier entitlement.
I have tried everything and still I am getting this. Just for a test I created a new app (Master-Detail template Xcode 11.5) I have created an entry in the iTunes Connect to receive the app upon archiving and uploading. I regenerated all new certificates for iOS Development and Distribution. I created all new Provisioning profiles. The Dev profile builds deploys and runs on my device The Dist profile builds but when I select the distribution profile I get the "Profile doesn't include the com.apple.application-identifier entitlement." error. When I download the profile within Xcode all looks good for the distribution profile: App ID: matches correctly Certificated: 1 Included includes the new signing certificate "iPhone Distribution...." Capabilities: 3 Included Includes Game Center, In-App Purchase, and Keychain Sharing Entitlements: 5 Included Includes application-identifier, keychain-access-groups, beta-reports-active, get-task-allow, and com.apple.developer.team-identifier. Im not sure what is going on. This is a standard process I have performed for quite a while. As a matter of fact I just submitted 3 applications last Sunday. Thank you for any suggestions.
