Dears, this is my first ever piece of code on Mac. I wanted to try ShazamKit. I created App Id and enabled App Service ShazamKit. I properly configured my app (a very small test app) with the proper boundle id, Team and entitlements file. I keep receiving this error in the Signing in section:
Automatic signing failed
Xcode failed to provision this target. Please address the following issues preventing automatic signing from creating a valid profile.
Entitlement com.apple.developer.shazamkit not found and could not be included in profile. This likely is not a valid entitlement and should be removed from your entitlements file
I noticed the message is mentioning "profile"...does it refer to a "Profile" as in "Certificate"/"Identifiers"/"Devices"/"Profiles"/"Keys"/"Services" option? I did not create any "Profile". I just enabled the App Service under "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles"=>"Identifiers"=>"Edit your App ID Configuration"=>"App Services"
Thx!

Hi,
My certificates expired and I created new ones.
But now Xcode shows me in Apple Accounts status of Mac App Distribution that the Missing Private...
Howto fix the missing private key?
I need to sign a .pkg for upload with Transporter.
Further I generated a CSR for App License Delivery ALD certificates.
https://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/create-a-certificate-signing-request/
And with App Store Connected I created new certificates.
In Xcode I had to remove the Apple Account and add it again, after altering currency. This procedure was described somewhere because Xcode was not able to connect my account. This is fixed now.
We have a command line script that runs xcodebuild to make an archive, then runs xcodebuild again to export the archive to make an ipa, and then runs "altool --validate-app" to check that everything will be fine for a subsequent upload to the app store. This has been working fine for a few years but recently stopped working and we cannot figure out why.
The validation fails with this error:
ERROR: [altool.105912F20] Validation failed (409) Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the com. bundle [Payload/.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate]. A distribution provisioning profile should be used when uploading apps to App Store Connect. (ID: )
The project is configured with 'Automatically manage signing' unchecked, and the profile was created on developer.apple.com/account/resources/profiles and the matching profile magically appears in the "Provisioning Profile" drop down in Xcode.
The profile was created with two certificates checked, but examining the embedded.mobileprovision profile that ends up in the compiled ipa payload it appears to contain 19 certificates (probably all of them for this org?).
Is there a way to find out which certificate is missing exactly? And once identified is it a case of adding it to the profile used during compilation to fix this?
Ancillary question: why does the embedded.mobileprovision file contain so many certificates, and how does xcodebuild decide which ones it includes there?

I can't upload my macOS app to app store connect.
Each time i try to upload, i see this message:
Provisioning profile failed qualification
Profile doesn't support App Groups.
An empty app without an app group uploads fine, but if i add an app group to it, it does not upload.

Hello!
I need help with the following issue.
I can't create a provisioning profile.
The following error message appears:
The following devices are either already present and have not been modified, or they contain invalid identifiers.
I'm a beginner and have been struggling with this issue for a month and a half.
Any help would be appreciated.
I double-click it, and it doesn't install. I drag it to the provisioning profile folder, and it gets deleted immediately. It's an Apple Developer problem. I've already wiped my Mac clean twice and reinstalled everything, and I'm still having this problem.

I am a developer with the following roles:
Apple Developer Team = admin
Using expo & EAS to build & sign = developer
We are running a new project so credentials need to be sync'd up. With EAS i can either upload a p12 or use the automatic app signing credentials.
I have successfully run this in other projects including another where I am the account owner/holder.
For this new project, however, I am not the owner. When I try to "register bundle identifier" it results in:
Error: Apple 403 detected - Access forbidden.

Environment:
MacBook Air Apple M2 (macOS Tahoe 26.1)
Xcode 26.0 (17A324)
Automatic signing enabled
Feedback ID: FB21537761
Issue:
I'm developing a multiplatform app and encountered an automatic signing failure immediately after adding the Keychain capability. Xcode displays the following error:
Automatic signing failed
Xcode failed to provision this target. Please file a bug report at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com and include the Update Signing report from the Report navigator.
Provisioning profile "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: com.xxx. xxx" doesn't include the currently selected device "FIRF‘s MacBook Air" (identifier 00008112-000904CA3441xxxx).
What I've Investigated/Tried:
Checked the developer account devices and found that the device with identifier 00008112-000904CA3441xxxx is incorrectly labeled as an “iPod” (it is actually my MacBook Air).
Attempted to manually enroll the Mac again, but it still appears as an iPod in the device list.
Tried creating a provisioning profile manually, but no devices are available for selection in the device list when generating the profile.
Question:
Has anyone encountered a similar issue where a Mac is misidentified as an iPod in the developer portal, leading to provisioning failures? Any suggestions on how to resolve this or work around the device recognition problem?
Thank you in advance for your help.

The entire 'Certificates, IDs & Profiles' section is missing from developer.apple.com portal for one of the accounts I am a developer for. The Team is also missing from the dropdowns in Xcode in Code Signing. The organization account membership is paid through July 2026, and I do not see that the Account Holder needs to sign any agreements. I am a user on other accounts, and none of them have this issue. Does anyone know what's going on?
My iOS app was created with a legacy Team ID in 2011. When I try to add an AppClip to the app, the Team ID on the AppClip is the new Team ID. Xcode prevents the build from completing.
The com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers entitlement (null) of an App Clip must match the application-identifier entitlement ('TYXXXXXP2.com.it-guy.MyApp') of its containing parent app.
How can this be resolved? Can the AppClip Team ID be changed in "Identifiers" on the developer.apple.com?
Hi everyone,
I’m developing an Electron application on macOS and I’m trying to register and activate a macOS System Extension, but I’m running into startup and entitlement issues.
🔧 What I’m trying to build
• An Electron app packaged with electron-builder
• Signed with Developer ID Application
• Notarized using @electron/notarize
• A macOS System Extension is already built and signed
• The System Extension provides a virtual camera
• I wrote a Swift helper that:
• Registers / activates the virtual camera
• Calls OSSystemExtensionManager
• This Swift code is compiled into a .node native addon
• The .node module is loaded and called from Electron (Node.js) to trigger system extension registration
❗ The problem
When I add the following entitlement:
com.apple.developer.system-extension.install
the application fails to launch at all on macOS.
Without this entitlement:
• The app launches normally
• But system extension activation fails with:
Error Domain=OSSystemExtensionErrorDomain
Code=2
Missing entitlement com.apple.developer.system-extension.install
With this entitlement:
• The app does not launch
• No UI is shown
• macOS blocks execution silently
🤔 My questions
1. Is it valid for an Electron app’s main executable to have com.apple.developer.system-extension.install?
2. Does Apple require a separate helper / launcher app to install system extensions instead of the Electron main app?
3. Are there any Electron-specific limitations when working with macOS System Extensions?
4. Is there a known working example of Electron + macOS System Extension?
5. Do I need a specific provisioning profile or App ID capability beyond Developer ID + notarization?
I'm starting a new project in Xcode, but the Team ID in the "Signing and Capabilities" section for iOS is different from the one on the website. Is this a problem? Why does Xcode automatically send a different ID when signing?
How should certificates and notarization be configured for a desktop application developed with Electron so that it can be used properly? The software is distributed via website download.
Hey Apple Friends,
We currently have an enterprise version of our app for debugging and internal distribution. Our release configuration uses our App Store account.
However, it appears you cannot add a 'Declared Age Range' to the Enterprise app as a capability making it impossible to debug because we have added the 'Declared Age Range API' locally, but we cannot add it as a capability on the dev portal.
Is there any work around for this?
I'm developing an app that receives push notifications, and writes the contents of the push notification to a shared location between the main app and a Notifications Message Extension, through App Groups. This all seems to work on my phone, with developer mode turned on, but when I archive my app as an Enterprise IPA and distribute it, the users can install the app on their phones and they receive the push notifications, but it doesn't appear that the message extension is running as my app displays the content of the shared data in the App Groups on the main screen and nothing is showing. I have tried on 3 phones, and it only works on the phone with developer mode turned on. I can't tell at this point whether it's because of a signing issue, or build phase order issue, or something else?
I'm trying to sign a .app package coming from Py2app.
Unfortunately I keep running into the same two issues:
The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate.
and
The signature does not include a secure timestamp.
I tried everything, from recreating the signatures, with different arguments, different keys and certificates, but it keeps complaining with these two errors on a long list of files.
For reference I added the python script I use for signing the files.

When submitting my new build to app store connect directly from dreamflow, I get this error:
Failed Step: Flutter build ipa and automatic versioning

You can connect to your Apple Developer account by signing in with your Apple ID
in Xcode and create an iOS Development Certificate as well as a Provisioning
Profile for your project by:
1- Open the Flutter project's Xcode target with
open ios/Runner.xcworkspace
2- Select the 'Runner' project in the navigator then the 'Runner' target
in the project settings
3- Make sure a 'Development Team' is selected under Signing & Capabilities > Team.
You may need to:
- Log in with your Apple ID in Xcode first
- Ensure you have a valid unique Bundle ID
- Register your device with your Apple Developer Account
- Let Xcode automatically provision a profile for your app
4- Build or run your project again
5- Trust your newly created Development Certificate on your iOS device
via Settings > General > Device Management > [your new certificate] > Trust
For more information, please visit:

Please not I am on a windows pc, not a mac. I'm not sure how to clear this error and I am not an experinced coder, so any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially if it is simple and easy to follow.
I'm trying to add signing certificate from developer.apple.com to my keychain but I'm getting to have error says "An error occurred. Unable to import certificate name. Error -25294". Certificate is valid and I can not do anything with this error. Any idea what can be the reason for this error?
