I am making an iOS step counting app and I have included a widget in the design. I would like to get the widget to pull data from the main app to display step count etc so I created a bundle id for the widget and have been trying to use a group id to link them together. The group capabilities for both seem to be set up/enabled properly with the same App Groups id, but I've been getting an error in xcode which says, "
'Provisioning Profile: "BUNDLE_ID" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.security.application-groups entitlement.' Try Again
But the identifiers do have the App Group id enabled. I have tried automatic signing, manual signing with generated profiles, unchecking and rechecking auto-signing, removing and re-adding the group capability. Creating a new bundle id from scratch, creating a new group id from scratch. Always I get the error. I've really pulled my hair out troubleshooting this and would appreciate support.
I'm happy to answer and questions or share details.
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
We're experiencing a critical and persistent code signing failure (HTTP 403) after accepting the latest Apple Developer Agreement, blocking our application release.
Problem: Despite confirming the new Apple Developer Agreement is signed and active on the portal, code signing attempts return an HTTP 403 error, stating a "required agreement is missing or has expired."
Steps Taken:
Accepted new Apple Developer Agreement.
Verified active developer membership and valid certificates (good for years).
Cleared caches, restarted systems.
Confirmed Team ID, Apple ID, and provisioning profile validity.
Any help is greatly appreciated, its been stuck for more than 2 days now.

Hello Colleagues,
We have been seeing a delay in our Apple notarization submission that hangs for hours "in progress" without completing:
This issue has been occurring since Friday, October 17th.
We have also checked the Apple System Status page and there is no indication of any outage for Apple notarization.

I have added an in-app purchase function into my app, and have enabled in-app purchase profile in developer portal(it's on by default and is marked gray in developer portal, I don't know if that's how it supposed to look like). I have issued the agreements and tried signing the app both manually and automatically, but neither of that worked. App can be built successfully in simulator but does not show the simulation window, but cannot build on real device or archive.
Errors: Missing com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase,
com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.non-consumable, and com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.subscription entitlements.
Automatic signing failed
Xcode failed to provision this target.

My notary service has been stuck for more than 5 hours. Is it because i am a new user or there is an notary service outage.
Hey, when I try to launch my app it prompts me with a "Apple could not verify" popup. The thing is the app has been signed and stapled.
xcrun stapler validate .app for my app returns "The validate action worked!"
If I also run syspolicy_check distribution .app it returns: "App passed all pre-distribution checks and is ready for distribution"
Any idea?
My notarization submission been "In Progress" status for over 30 minutes now. I thought this process should be much faster.
Hi everyone,
After I recently changed my Apple ID (iCloud) password, my Developer ID certificate stopped working for signing macOS apps.
Symptoms:
Signing fails with the Developer ID certificate that was previously working fine.
I tried re-downloading the certificate from my Apple Developer account and importing it into the Keychain, but the issue persists.
It seems that the Developer ID identity is no longer trusted or properly linked to my system since the password change.
Attempts:
Re-downloaded and installed the certificate from the developer portal.
Verified that the private key is present and linked.
Checked keychain access and code-signing identity — everything appears normal, but the signed apps are rejected or the signing process fails.
Blocking issue:
I am unable to delete or revoke the Developer ID certificate on my account (Apple Support says it's not possible).
Also, I can't create a new one due to the certificate limit.
Questions:
Is it expected for a Developer ID certificate to become invalid after changing the Apple ID password?
Is there a recommended way to refresh or restore the certificate trust on macOS?
How can I invalidate the current certificate and generate a new one if I'm stuck?
Any insights or official guidance would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You can now easily request access to managed capabilities for your App IDs directly from the new Capability Requests tab in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers. With this update, view available capabilities in one convenient location, check the status of your requested capabilities, and see any notes from Apple related to your requests. Learn more about capability requests.
Displaying attribute for a private key I see a number of applications that are allowed to access it without needing a password e.g. racoon; Keychain Access.app; Certificate Assitant.app etc..
I want to add /usr/bin/codesign to the list but the gui window that pops up when I click on + doesn't seem to allow me to do that :(
How do I do it please

Hi,
I am facing an issue with login persistence using firebase, but basically, it seems that I need to ensure I enable the Keychain Sharing within the Identities capabilities, the problem is, it is not even on the list.
Thank you much
I've added my Vendor ID to the appropriate entitlement files but my binary fails validation when trying to upload it to the store for distribution. The embeded.mobileprovision file in the generated archive shows an asterisk instead of my approved Vendor ID. How can I make sure the embedded provisioning file has my Vendor ID?

I am trying to build a release for an application that installs a DriverKit driver. I created a Developer ID Application Profile with a valid certificate but I'm coming across this error in Xcode 16.3 that is preventing me from archiving:
Xcode 14 and later requires a DriverKit development profile enabled for iOS and macOS. Visit the developer website to create or download a DriverKit profile.
I thought I needed a Dev ID Application profile to distribute the application and that a Development profile is for testing. Is there something I'm missing?
Hi, I had an issue when I notarized myapplication.dmg with Process 'xcrun notarytool submit' exited with value '132'.
Do you know how to solve it?
Do you have any explanation about the response value when we execute 'xcrun notarytool submit'?
Thank you very much!

I’m building an Electron app for macOS that I plan to distribute to users in a .dmg outside the Mac App Store. I have a Developer ID Application certificate (from Apple’s Developer Portal) and a private key, and I can see “Developer ID Certification Authority” in my System Roots keychain.
• My Developer ID Application certificate is in the login keychain, and it shows up under “My Certificates” with its private key.
• On Keychain, certificate shows red message "not trusted", but when I evaluate and check it specifically for codesigning it shows a green checkmark and success
• Developer ID Certification Authority is in System Roots.
• security find-identity -p codesigning – shows my certificate, but shows 0 valid identities
• Updated operating system and deleted and recreated a new certificate, still get the same issue
This is .entitlements file:

When I run it on macOS 13.x, it works fine. If I run the system on macOS 11.x, it reports a "killed" error
(if codesign remove --entitlements ./UES.entitlements, Then the startup will not report an error, but the endpoint security rights cannot be used)

I was trying to put my game to test flight. I would test features like ads and in-app-purchases, then put on the Appstore(release). The game already works on Ipad. For test flight, the "automatically manage signing" option was enabled. Then I pressed the "archive" button. Built succeeded. Then I clicked the distribute button. That time, I had an error. "Upload failed, Invalid signature, App is not properly signed". I researched, and found special characters in name, team name and address can make errors. My name, address and team name have special characters(turkish). If it will be resolved, I want to re-write(fix) my name, team name and address. I already tried to change my name, team name and address from apple developer website but failed. They are asking a document of my identity of my new name but I didn't changed my name and address. Overall, there aren't any other facts that cause this issue as I know. If I send my current, unchanged identity and home address, could they allow to change(fix) them?

Explanation :
Invalid Signature - Make sure you have signed your application with a distribution certificate, not an ad hoc certificate or a development certificate. Verify that the code signing settings in Xcode are correct at the target level (which override any values at the project level). Additionally, make sure the bundle you are uploading was built using a Release target in Xcode, not a Simulator target. If you are certain your code signing settings are correct, choose "Clean All" in Xcode, delete the "build" directory in the Finder, and rebuild your release target.

Hi,
I'm getting error 65 upon stapling and I am suspecting that non-default trust settings may be the reason as outlined here:
Unfortunately whatever I do, I can't seem to reset the trust settings to their default values (removing the blue/white "+"), I'm not being asked for credentials upon closing the certificate window. I have also tried to unlock the System Roots key chain, to no avail.
Also, when running
security dump-trust-settings -d
I get
Number of trust settings : 0
for all certificates.
Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong? Is there any other setting that may be involved?
Thanks!
