We're seeing an issue where our app builds that previously were working suddenly started failing to install through TestFlight. When the user hits Update in TestFlight, they get an error message "The profile can't be installed. Try again.". Double checked the certificates and provisioning profiles, rebuilt and deployed the app, still same issue. We subsequently tried side loading the ipa file using XCode hoping for more detail. The install failed there as well, with the following error message: "Attempted to install a Beta profile without the proper entitlement." Seems like a good lead but haven't found much. Our provisioning profiles have the "beta-reports-active: true" entitlement and anyway haven't changed since it was working previously. Any idea what could be going on here?

Hello,I have released macOS version of my game before iOS Version, after releasing macOS version, cannot run & debug my game on Xcode getting error ; Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.codepad.motorush" doesn't include the com.apple.application-identifier entitlement. please take a look to screenshot view.

A few months ago I requested access to the com.apple.developer.contacts.notes entitlement, which I now have access to. While running on 'Debug' build configuration, everything works as expected. When creating a 'Release' build, however, the entitlement does not appear to be included with the app, as the console reports that fetching the note for each contact fails. When I try to add the "Contact Notes" capability in Xcode, under the 'Release' tab in the project settings, the capability appears for a few seconds, then disappears when I move to a different tab and return. This does not happen for the 'Debug' configuration. Attempted Resolutions: Changing the signing configuraiton from 'Automatic' to 'Manual', using a manually generated provisioning profile. I manually inspected the provisioning profile using the terminal to ensure it included the entitlement. Creating a separate entitlement file with com.apple.developer.contacts.notes, adding it to the root of the project. Ensuring that the path to this file is correct on the 'Release' configuration. Ensuring 'Contacts Notes Field Access' is enabled under 'Additional Capabilities' in the Developer portal. Adding the capability on Xcode. Below is the inspector displaying the provisioning profile for the 'Debug' Configuration: And the following image below shows the inspector details for the 'Release' Configuration provisioning profile: When I use a manual provisioning profile and an entitlements file at the root of the project, Xcode displays this strange error:

App sandbox not enabled. The following executables must include the "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" entitlement with a Boolean value of true in the entitlements property list: [( "com.xx.pkg/Payload/xx.app//Contents/Resources/ss-local", "ccom.xx.pkg/Payload/xx.app//Contents/Resources/v2ray-plugin" )] Refer to App Sandbox page at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/app_sandbox for more information on sandboxing your app. (ID: ca7d4fde-0f0d-4a71-9eee-a01692797549)

I have a pretty simply macOS application which I've just been trying to fix since a long time ago. It's origin is really old, using the apple 802.11 framework located in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Apple80211 and it's supposed to just scan the area and display information about the local networks nearby. For some reason when I run the application and press the button to scan for local networks (wifi scan) It errors out and in the Xcode console I get Process WiFiInfo is missing entitlement required for Wi-Fi user-client access: <key>com.apple.private.driverkit.driver-access</key> <string>com.apple.private.wifi.driverkit</string> If I add those two lines to the entitlements, Xcode fails to sign my application and fails to build and run Provisioning profile "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: com.troger.WiFiInfo" doesn't include the com.apple.private.driverkit.driver-access entitlement. Any way I can fix this? I would really like to get this application back up to its running state as it once was before but am completely lost on how to fix this

In enterprise environments it can be tricky to develop innovative applications leveraging the full value of the hardware. The code signing capabilities on iOS are much more restrictive compared to macOS, and has been for years. Is it really too much to ask for more control over the applications we can use in development environments. For bespoke applications being able to have control over hardware is something that has been missing for a long time. The ability to sign with com.apple.security.iokit-user-client-class and com.apple.security.temporary-exception.sbpl in development and enterprise solutions would allow for far greater integration with the devices. What reasons are there to avoid allowing this on iOS when macOS has much less restrictive control, the lack of continuity between the systems does not help the "level playing field".

We have an iOS project that is configured with automatically managed signing. We cannot get automatic signing to work on our CI (GitHub Actions). To even get xcodebuild to archive we have to force it to not sign at all: xcrun xcodebuild \ -workspace app.xcworkspace \ -scheme prod \ -configuration 'Release' \ -destination generic/platform=iOS \ -archivePath ./build/prod.xcarchive \ CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" \ CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO \ CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO \ clean archive All our attempts to make xcodebuild archive do manual signing have failed. In order to have the app properly signed with the right entitlements we then call codesign: codesign -f \ -s Distribution \ --entitlements prod.entitlements \ ./build/prod.xcarchive/Products/Applications/prod.app Then we export the ipa: xcrun xcodebuild \ -exportArchive \ -archivePath ./build \ -exportOptionsPlist exportOptions.plist \ -exportPath ./build This seems to work so my question is: Is it supported to do manual signing this way? Is there a better way? If we omit the codesign step, the app will still be signed - by exportArchive we assume, but then the entitlements are missing.

We have trying to programmatically send data to Final Cut Pro by using Apple Event as decribed in Sending Data Programmatically to Final Cut Pro : tell application "Final Cut Pro" activate open POSIX file "/Users/JohnDoe/Documents/UberMAM/MyEvents.fcpxml" end tell This works fine in Script Editor but we run into problems when trying to do the same in our macOS app. We found interesting information in Workflow Extensions SDK 1.0.2 Release Notes.pdf. A) Hardened runtime has "Apple Events Enabled" checked. B) Info.plist contains NSAppleEventsUsageDescription: <key>NSAppleEventsUsageDescription</key> <string>Test string</string> C) We added following entitlements: <key>com.apple.security.scripting-targets</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.FinalCut</key> <array> <string>com.apple.FinalCut.library.inspection</string> </array> <key>com.apple.FinalCutTrial</key> <array> <string>com.apple.FinalCut.library.inspection</string> </array> </dict> <key>com.apple.security.automation.apple-events</key> <true/> With this configuration in place, our app is able to call AppleScript to activate Final Cut Pro application but it is unable to open the file. Following error is returned: Error executing AppleScript: { NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = "Final Cut Pro Trial"; NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "A privilege violation occurred."; NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Final Cut Pro Trial got an error: A privilege violation occurred."; NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-10004"; NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {56, 64}"; } Also there is no prompt asking user to allow Automation from our app to Final Cut. I am not sure whether the prompt is to be expected when developing an application in Xcode. Our current workaround is to add (or even replace com.apple.security.scripting-targets with): com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events entitlement like this <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events</key> <array> <key>com.apple.FinalCutTrial</key> </array> However while this approach might work in development we know this would probably prevent us from publishing the app to Mac App Store. I think we are missing something obvious. Could you help? :-)

HI! I am developing an application that should utilize ScriptingBridge.framework to interact with another process. Firstly, I created a separate test application for which I have added Apple Events entitlements via "Signing & Capabilities" section in Xcode and updated its Info.plist to have "Privacy - AppleEvents Sending Usage Description". While the test app works fine (I see an automation request popup and the process executes as expected) the main application where I want to integrate this functionality gets closed immediately after reaching the code interacting with Scripting Bridge. On its launch, I see the following error message from tccd in Console: Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceAppleEvents requires entitlement com.apple.security.automation.apple-events but it is missing for accessing={TCCDProcess: identifier=<app bundleID>, ..., binary_path=<path to the app's binary>} I had no such issues with the test app. Moreover, I should mention that the bundle I want to have with such functionality is stored in another bundle, both main and inner bundles aren't sandboxed, and the target app has Application is agent (UIElement) key set in Info.plist. Can you suggest any ideas as to why processes behave so differently despite having pretty much the same build configurations?

Hi, I wanted to use Siri Capability for a WatchOS app, however in xcode on a WatchOS project, the option to add Siri is not present. In an IOS project this is visible but if you are not part of the ADP or ADEP you do not have access to it, this message appears in red if you try to select it as a personal team. I am considering paying to join the ADP but I am unsure if it will unlock the ability to use Siri capability on WatchOS. It looks like it is completely unsupported as it cannot be even selected from the capabilities section in xcode , even though Apple states it is supported under ADP and ADEP on their website. I am a little confused. Does anyone else have this issue, or is Siri present under capabilities for you in a WatchOS project?

Hi, we are a Carrier company (Utility provider) and working on a feature to display real-time Wifi Signal strength of customer devices (connected to Router Gateway) to help customers identify low and high signal areas, and possibly install extenders to improve signal strength at weak points. This feature requires NEHotspotHelper entitlement approval to access signalStrength property. We went through this Apple documentation too and we're open to other recommendations from Apple https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721067 . Since we currently don't have direct point of contact with Apple to discuss this requirement, hence wanted to check it here. Kindly advise. Thanks !

I'm looking to automate device provisioning using App Store Connect API. Two things are snagging me: Updating Profiles API: Adding a new device seems clunky (read-all-devices, save, delete profile, recreate with a new device). Is there a simpler way to do it? I looked over the documentation and it seems like there's no streamlined way to do it, am I correct? Entitlements API: Not public yet? Does anyone know about any plans to open it up soon? I asked Apple Support and they didn't provide any information on this. Specifying entitlements during provisioning is an important step. Thanks for any help!

I need to obtain the user's EID within my app. We are a mobile network operator and have also applied for Apple's eSIM development. Does Apple provide a certified developer access to an API for obtaining EID? I understand that there is no public API available, but I'm unsure if approved operators can access EID. If so, how can I apply for this private API?

Hi, My application doesn't start playback anymore after signing it with entitlements. <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.audio-input</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.microphone</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.assets.music.read-write</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.server</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> regards, Joël

We have a legacy app written in a mix of C, ObjC, C++ and ObjC++ with .xib files. It is not sandboxed. It sends an Apple Event to TV (the app of that name from Apple, not a physical TV) using /usr/bin/osascript, calling a compiled Apple Script which is in our app bundle's Resources directory with parameters which we generate in our app at runtime. The first time it does this on a fresh system, the OS puts up a dialog asking for permission to control TV, and after the user clicks Allow, our app appears under Security and Privacy in the Automation section. That's all fine, but what is unexpected is that the app has no Apple Events entitlement (com.apple.security.automation.apple-events), and it doesn't have a NSAppleEventsUsageDescription string either. The documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_security_automation_apple-events says Your app doesn’t need the Apple Events Entitlement if it only sends Apple events to itself or to other processes signed with the same team ID. but we're not on the Apple team. When I filter the log for messages from tccd pertaining to our app, it does indeed complain : Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceAppleEvents requires entitlement com.apple.security.automation.apple-events but it is missing for accessing={TCCDProcess: identifier=<our bundle id>” But despite those complaints, everything works - I can send the event, and TV acts upon it. Is this working only by accident, and might fail in some minor future OS update? tccd also complains about the microphone Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceMicrophone requires entitlement com.apple.security.device.audio-input but it is missing for requesting={TCCDProcess: identifier=<our bundle ID> but we don't use the microphone tccd complains about this too <path-to-our-app> attempted to call TCCAccessRequest for kTCCServiceAccessibility without the recommended com.apple.private.tcc.manager.check-by-audit-token entitlement What does that mean, and should we be concerned?

Hi, Can a single domain serve a /.well-known/apple-app-site-association file for multiple apps from different developers? We currently have our own domain, let's say example.com, which serves https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association which lists our app, let's say "ABCDEFG.com.example.AppA" for path "/app/a". We're talking with another developer who has another app on the store. Can we add their app, "MNOPQR.com.different.AppB" on our site, https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association, add their app ID for path "/app/b", ask them to add our example.com domain in their associated-domains entitlement, and would it work? I mean would https://example.com/app/a open our app "ABCDEFG.com.example.AppA" and https://example.com/app/b open their app "MNOPQR.com.different.AppB" ? We want to open https://example.com/redirect/app redirect to either /app/a or /app/b depending on the query parameters and launch our or their app. Thanks in advance!

How to add Additional capabilities in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles on app store account to Enable the Tap to Pay on iPhone capability.

**Why does using CameraPicker require user authorization through a pop-up? ** Why don't ImagePicker or PhotoPicker require additional pop-up authorizations for accessing the photo library? All of these are implemented using UIImagePickerController, so why does one require a pop-up and the others do not? Additionally, I thought that by configuring the picker, I would theoretically not need any permissions. If permissions are still required, wouldn’t it make more sense to directly request camera permissions and utilize the native camera functionality? What then are the advantages of using the picker?

Hello, I am writing a Desktop application for macOS with XCode. This application will be available on app store. So, i have to put sandbox entitlement. So, this application won't be able to access Desktop folder. It will be jailed into a specific directory to store datas. I have installed a macOS application from appstore. When I launched this application, I got a TCC prompt, asking me to allow this application to access Desktop (or Downloads I don't remember). How can this be possible ? I have tried to write a sandboxed application which tries to access to Desktop folder. I didn't get any TCC prompt: My access was rejected. How can I ask to access Desktop folder from I sandboxed application ? Thanks a lot

Hey, I am trying to use Family Controls in Mac Catalyst. On the iOS app it works fine. On macOs using Mac Catalyst it builds fine but I get following console output. Failed to get service proxy: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction.}` When i try to open the FamilyActivityPicker on the macOs app following error is displayed in the GUI. The operation could not be completed. (FamilyControls.ActivityPickerRemoteView Error error 2.) Do I need a familyControls capability for macOs? If yes, I only find it for iOS. Thanks for hints and help :)
