I've been following this thread, having a similar issue with our watch extension app that suddenly stopped working when our testers updated their iOS device to iOS 15 and watch to Watch OS 8. So far I've recreated new provisioning profiles, verified that the codesign looks similar to what is suggested, seen that there's a DER-profile entry in the provisioning profile and also tried adding --generate-entitlement-der to build settings. Still, building the app for enterprise and installing it works on the iOS device but the embedded watch app does not. When you try to install it from the iOS watch.app, then it fails with "could not install the app at this time" And the error we get is: 0x170053000 -[ACXInstallQueue _onQueue_deQueueNextOperation]_block_invoke_2: Failed to install app my.test.app (p = N, ui = Y) : Error Domain=ACXErrorDomain Code=17 "Got error 17 in install done from remote side (MI error ApplicationVerificationFailed ; Extended 0xe8008029 ; Desc Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.y3l1mI/extracted/Payload/Watch.app : 0xe8008029 (The code signature version is no longer supported.))"

I've tried to build the app on Xcode 12.5.1 and Xcode 13 and the machine is running Mac OS Big Sur. I am not sure what else to try, any ideas?

@meaton After taking a closer look, I see the same as @sponlingam, except we build on big sur, so I'd expect it to sign the watch properly, since it does it correctly for the iOS app. The watch and extension does not have 6-7 signature.. why though? is this an xcode bug? if so.. when can we expect to see this fixed? This is what the watch signature looks like after archiving through both xcode 12.5.1 and xcode 13: Page size=4096 -5=b913d5b0ef9ff48816f16a42342ab0037740a6153282266b7935458e6f55d9ab -4=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -3=4f2a93c3945beb4b402e6bcad790b4b4c2cff641a50a758b6f3b37ca28a89e6a -2=516af77f9e299974d68307536ce805fdd9619a4c0cfd8c53d978f6b2bbbce81b Signature size=4821 After I run codesign manually though, it looks correct... so I suspect that Xcode is for some reason not adding all the relevant params to the watch and extension. I even tried to force the same params in xcode and from what I can see, it does the same... Taken from the build log: /usr/bin/codesign --force --sign <redacted> --preserve-metadata --generate-entitlement-der --preserve-metadata=identifier,entitlements /path/to/*.framework Yet the signature is still wrong, however if I paste the exact same into terminal after archiving, then it seems to sign it properly. I guess the next step would be to create a dummy project and see if I can reproduce, so I can make a proper TSI...

@meaton I can reproduce the same thing on my end in Big Sur with Xcode 12.5, i.e., the outer iOS signature containing the hashed DER entitlements while the inner signature does not contain these entitlements on the watchOS executable (and possibly the watchOS App Extension Executable). You can work around this by adding the --generate-entitlement-der flag to Xcode build settings for Other Code Signing Flags in the watchOS target(s) ane then building the outer iOS app again in Xcode. Then, if you look through the signatures on the executables, you will see the DER hash slot available. Strange, I have already tried to add --generate-entitlement-der and --preserve-metadata to the xcode project file, so all my targets currently has the params set, but I cannot reproduce your success scenario. The only workaround that has been working for me for now is manually signing. In no case do I get an .ipa where the watch app or extension has the correct signature.

The issue (that we were having) seems to be have been fixed with Xcode 13.1. Our build server which is running mac OS 11.5.2, updated Xcode to 13.1 yesterday, and now our .ipa are being properly signed. It would have been nice if the release notes addressed this though...

I am experiencing the same... exact same simulator version. Have you created a ticket yet?

We've consistently been experiencing review times taking excessively long time recently where as colleagues see an app go through review within 1 hour. Our latest submitted update was rejected, then we replied with requested information but there's been no reply since Monday last week. We then requested expedited review Sunday midday, which was confirmed and accepted in the evening but lo and behold... we're still waiting and our deadline was this morning. To say it's frustrating is an understatement. Meanwhile our colleagues in Google land had their app processed and rejected within hours and after explaining the usage of the new feature, got through review and released soon after.

Yep, can confirm. The crash also happens with https://self-signed.badssl.com and Safari in iOS 18 Simulator as well. ------------------------------------- Translated Report (Full Report Below) ------------------------------------- Incident Identifier: 36B8315F-3E60-42B7-916D-065F086EBD72 CrashReporter Key: 04C62978-9A1D-1A77-A4F6-DFF0BC1DED4F Hardware Model: MacBookPro18,1 Process: com.apple.WebKit.Networking [94891] Path: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/com.apple.WebKit.Networking Identifier: com.apple.WebKit.Networking Version: 8619.1.26.30.5 Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Foreground Parent Process: launchd_sim [8677] Coalition: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDevice.C6C4E44A-C067-4EEB-8AC9-E005CAF2F64D [1737] Responsible Process: SimulatorTrampoline [1296] Date/Time: 2024-10-01 13:17:44.2053 +0200 Launch Time: 2024-10-01 13:16:04.7324 +0200 OS Version: macOS 14.5 (23F79) Release Type: User Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000814185deda10 -> 0x0000014185deda10 (possible pointer authentication failure) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000814185deda10 VM Region Info: 0x14185deda10 is not in any region.
