I have an application for macOS that uses core data to save data. I switched to CloudKit so I can sync that data with its iOS counterpart. This is on Xcode 13.4. Even since I did that I get the error:

When I try to submit it for a distribution with "Developer ID"

I have been going in circles for the last two days. I have tried all the stuff several articles here at SO mentioned (e.g. this one), or the Apple Dev Forums (for example this one). I have tried deleting certs, regenerating them, adding them again, downloading "manual profiles" again, going to the building settings and changing certs and options...

It doesn't matter. It goes nowhere.

Here's the thing, if I go back to the version without iCloud, all is good. Same with any iOS app that uses iCloud. All builds, and all goes to Apple without any issues. It's only this app.

For the sake of testing I created a new macOS app, and from the get go I enabled CloudKit. Same error.

So, what's missing? Is there any special foo or incantation I need to utter to get an macOS app to use iCloud and be able to be distributed?

Thanks

I believe you’re hitting the issue discussed in this thread. There are three factors that trigger it:

Signing for Developer ID — Check!
Using a restricted entitlement — Check! In this case that’s the iCloud stuff.
Having a Developer ID Application Managed signing identity in addition to your standard Developer ID Application one

Use the Developer web site to check for that last point. If it applies, follow the workaround in the above-mentioned thread.
