On MacOS, I know that App Groups (com.apple.security.application-groups) do not require a provisioning profile.
I was wondering if it's possible to sign them "ad hoc" and have it work? So maybe use a random TEAMID prefix and have it work?
I would only need the app to work locally (for testing), not be distributed in that fashion, of course.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been struggling for days with a recurring issue in my iOS app build. The build fails with the following error:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.myapp.bundleid" doesn't include the com.apple.InAppPurchase entitlement.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
Created a new Bundle ID with correct capabilities (In-App Purchase, Push Notifications, Sign in with Apple).
Created a new provisioning profile manually from Apple Developer Console.
Used EAS CLI (Expo) and Xcode to regenerate all certificates and provisioning profiles.
Ensured that the In-App Purchase capability is enabled in the App ID (it's greyed out but enabled).
Made sure all subscriptions and products in App Store Connect are “Ready to Submit”.
Followed all steps from RevenueCat and Apple documentation.
Cleaned entitlements in .entitlements file and tried both and variations.
Tried building both locally and with EAS – same error every time.
Sent multiple tickets to Apple Developer Support, but no helpful reply yet.
Extra Notes:
I'm using react-native-purchases and RevenueCat, already integrated and working before this started.
The error began randomly; before that, I was able to build successfully with in-app purchases.
Even creating a completely fresh app from scratch results in the same entitlement missing error.
Has anyone faced this exact problem where the provisioning profile fails to include com.apple.InAppPurchase, even though everything is correctly set up?
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I am currently having issues uploading my app to appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/ for notarization. It times out after hanging for a while. I get the following error.

Hi all,
I'm a solo iOS developer trying to update an app I released in 2010. My current Team ID is Q37598Q8GE, but the app's original App ID uses an old prefix, YHX995W43P.
When I try to create a new App ID with the original Bundle ID (eu.andela.woordenes) to generate a new distribution provisioning profile, I get the error:An attribute in the provided entity has invalid value An App ID with Identifier 'eu.andela.woordenes' is not available. Please enter a different string. I understand this might be due to the old prefix from pre-2011, when Apple allowed multiple prefixes per account.
I still have access to the app in App Store Connect and want to push an update, not create a new app. How can I resolve this?Can I reuse the existing App ID (eu.andela.woordenes with prefix YHX995W43P) for a new provisioning profile, or do I need to match my current Team ID (Q37598Q8GE)?
If the Bundle ID is already taken by my current app, how do I update the app without changing the Bundle ID? Any steps to fix the prefix mismatch in Xcode or App Store Connect?

Once I have built my macOS .app and signed it I run notarytool using this simple shell script:
#!/bin/sh
ditto -c -k --keepParent "$1.app" "$1.zip"
xcrun notarytool submit "$1.zip" --keychain-profile "Notary Profile for DeepSkyStacker" --wait
xcrun stapler staple $1.app
rm -f $1.zip
How can I export that "keychain-profile" (notary profile) so I can use it in CI/CD actions? Clearly I don't wish to expose the full invocation of xcrun notarytool store-credentials.

Coming from Windows, I'm finding Mac app packaging farcically complicated, to the level of a Python sketch.
I mastered Windows packaging, via Inno, in an hour or so, but it has taken me, on and off, the best part of a week to get to the point I am at with the Mac OS, and I'm nowhere near finished (rather, it hasn't finished with me).
Every time I surmount one hurdle, another pops up, seemingly just for the jollies.
I'm currently stuck at:
'Error: HTTP status code: 403. A required agreement is missing or has expired. This request requires an in-effect agreement that has not been signed or has expired. Ensure your team has signed the necessary legal agreements and that they are not expired.'
My account lists no agreements in this category.
I understand the need for security, but not the labyrinthine nature of the process.
An inner-party member in the former Soviet Union overheard a drunken Stalin say, “I trust no one; not even myself".
Apple trusts no one, but has true contempt for developers.
Is there a simple way to work through the packaging process?
Let me rephrase that: please God, let there be a simpler way of working through the process!

Richard
I have tried again and again to generate and install the .mobileprovision on my device for testing apps following the exact instructions. I cannot get this to work. When I tap the .mobileprovision on the device I get the error "Profile Error - This profile cannot be installed."
In Xcode in the console as I try to install the profile, this is what it shows:
`profiled (ManagedConfiguration)

Hello,
I am trying to publish a simple app to the App Store for the first time, and I am getting these 2 errors.
Please note the knowledge base URLs shown in the screenshot are not clickable. I think this should be addressed.
Any guidance on how to correct these issues will be greatly appreciated.

I have multiple submissions for an app notarization. The goal is to distribute the DMG on my website rather than the app store (which I also have a submission in review for). These are the notarization logs:

The earliest of which occured more than 18 hours ago.
This is my first time submitting an app for notarization. I also have a developer account that was created ~1-2 days ago.
From what I've read online, notarization usually occurs in less than 10 minutes.
When querying for the logs, it juts says that the submission ID is invalid or the logs aren't available yet.
Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist

I am trying to package a Filemaker 18 Runtime app.
A week ago, I managed to get 90% of the way towards doing as much, using MS
Copilot as a guide.
Unfortunately, due to my confusion over the landing stage files, I decided to
start the process from scratch.
This time, I fell at the first stage:
Code Signing my .app Bundle.
The Terminal command:
codesign --deep --force --verify --verbose \
--sign "Developer ID Application: ME (V********)" \
"/Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app"
Returned the error:
/Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app: bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable
In subcomponent: /Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app/Contents/Frameworks/FMWrapper.framework
No matter how many separate elements within the bundle I sign, I encounter the
same error message.
A few days ago, the identical command worked first
time.
I would be obliged for any help you can provide.
Thanks.
In the LightweightCodeRequirements framework, there is a LaunchCodeRequirement object which can be used as a requirement object for a Process for example.
What I don't understand (I admit my macOS low-level knowledge is limited) is that how can this be used in a secure way that doesn't fall victim of a Time-of-Check/Time-of-Use issue.
e.g.
I specify a LaunchCodeRequirement via Process.launchRequirement for my process, let's say /usr/local/bin/mycommandlinetool.
The LaunchCodeRequirement specifies my development team and a developer ID certificate.
The process must be started in some form, before a SecCode/SecTask object can be created, rather than a SecStaticCode object (which only guarantees its validity checks to be intact as long as the file is not modified).
But if the process was started, then I have no tools in my set to prevent it from executing its initialization code or similar. Then, by the time I'm able to check via SecCode/SecTask functions the LaunchCodeRequirement, I might have already ran malicious code - if mycommandlinetool was maliciously replaced.
Or does the operating system use a daemon to copy the executable specified for Process to a secure location, then creates the SecStaticCode object, assesses the LaunchCodeRequirement and if passed, launches the executable from that trusted location (which would make sure it is immutable for replacement by malicious actors)?
I have a hard time understanding how this works under the hood - if I remember correctly these are private APIs.
Hey there,
I'm experiencing an issue with notarization of my macOS application, which is blocking a release.
We have signing/notarization hooked up to our CI process, both for prior releases as well as development builds (at the trunk tip). The notarization process has typically taken anywhere from a few minutes to a few tens of minutes, but for our most recent release, it's taking an unreasonably long time.
I've compiled the submission info for each build (+ reattempted notarizations) below. What's interesting is that the oldest one was accepted- however, it timed out our CI process, so we never actually released it.
Subsequent builds are more or less identical in terms of their content, however, they've been stewing in the notarization process for over 13 hours in some cases.

It's interesting to me that the notarization process is taking this long. We've notarized many development builds (with debugging flags enabled) in the time between our last public release and our attempt to notarize this one. What's more, the original build for this release was notarized within the span of about 15 minutes, but subsequent submissions of the same build have hung for tens of hours.
My two questions are:
How can I get our pending notarizations "unstuck"?, and
To prevent these types of hangs in the future, should I also routinely build/sign/notarize non-debug builds of my application during the development process?
Best regards and many thanks,
Charlton
Hi,
I have created a conda python environment which I have packaged into a .tar.gz (using conda-pack) and which runs correctly when extracted (in this example, it only contains the scipy package). However, when I sign the necessary files within the environment (i.e. the binaries, the dylibs, the .so files), attempting to load scipy.sparse now fails with the error "mapped file has no cdhash, completely unsigned" about one of the .so files. Furthermore, I believe that this file does in fact have a cdhash.
The signing process represented by my example below has been working for about a year, and I am unsure why it has suddenly stopped working. I am on a 2020 MacBook Pro with an i7 processor and running Sequoia 15.1.1.
Here is a minimal example showing the creating of the conda environment, codesigning, and the error message. Many thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I'm developing a simple Finder Sync Extension, using Xcode 16.3.
When running in Debug with Xcode, everything works fine.
Instead, when compiling in Release and launching the containing app (by double-clicking on it), the Extension is not recognized (neither loaded) by the system.
The only difference between Debug and Release stands in Signing configuration:
Debug:
Release:
As you can see, in Release I'm using a Provisiong Profile, configured with my company's Developer ID.
I'm wondering if Capabilities and Entitlements are not what is needed by my app. Anyway, I have no idea what the issue is.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Developer ID
The device UDID was registered to the developer account 40 hours ago, the STATUS column was "processing" in the first 24 hours, then turned to empty.
But I still can't run my app (with distribution method "development"), when I try to run it after download it through my OTA URL, it prompts “the app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified” but everything runs good on a iPhone which was registered a month ago.
What should I do now? keep waiting?
We have a Mac app that uses some restricted macOS entitlements, thus to test it we embed a development provisioning profile, that needs to contain the correct provisioning UDID.
Typically, for test VMs, we extract the provisioning and UDID and add it to the developer portal and then re-generate the provisioning profiles.
However when we try to do this in our newly created VM (Apple Silicon), our executable won't run, and macOS logs that the provisioning profile doesn't allow the device:
2025-06-12 12:37:52.168 E taskgated-helper[27489:e97da] [com.apple.ManagedClient:ProvisioningProfiles] embedded provisioning profile not valid: file:///Applications/foo.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile error: Error Domain=CPProfileManager Code=-212 "Provisioning profile does not allow this device."

The UDID for this VM does look weird, in System Profiler:
But I can verify that this UDID string is present in the provisioning profile embedded in the app bundle:
$ security cms -D -i /Applications/foo.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile | grep -i 7cd9234e9aa4fa8ba528ee417f857b2c993a20a3
<string>7CD9234E9AA4FA8BA528EE417F857B2C993A20A3</string>
I also tried deleting the manually added device from the Developer portal and installing Xcode on the VM and letting Xcode register the device, but I end up in the same situation there. Even after letting Xcode itself register the device, it says that "this device not registered to your account" and then when I click "Register device" it changes into " already exists".
Has anyone else managed to get Mac development provisioning profiles to work in a VM?

Hello, my iOS apps are exiting right after launch on a few of our iOS devices. I tried a couple of my apps that are deployed to our fleet and they do the same thing. If I run the app(s) in the Simulator it works fine and if I run the app(s) on the offending devices it works fine as well. Once I stop the run in Xcode the app on the device will not launch.
I'm thinking something is missing like a certificate etc. Just not sure.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I would really like to get this fixed.

I'm facing a critical, blocking issue where my developer account (Team ID: K655PX7A46) is unable to generate a valid provisioning profile with the App Attest entitlement. I have confirmed this is a server-side issue and am hoping to get visibility from an Apple engineer who can investigate.
The Problem:
When I generate a provisioning profile for an App ID with the "App Attest" capability enabled, the resulting profile is defective. It is missing the required com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key in its entitlements dictionary, causing Xcode to fail the build.
What I Have Proven:
The issue is not a misconfiguration. The App Attest capability is correctly enabled and saved on the App ID configuration page.
The issue is not isolated to one App ID. I created a brand new App ID from scratch, enabled the capability during creation, and the server still generates a defective profile with the same missing entitlement.
I have definitive proof by inspecting the downloaded .mobileprovision file. The contents confirm the required key is missing.
Steps to Reproduce on My Account:
Create a new App ID on the Developer Portal.
Enable the "App Attest" capability and save.
Generate a new "iOS App Development" provisioning profile for this App ID.
Download the profile and inspect its contents via security cms -D -i [profile].
Observe that the com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key is missing.
The Evidence (Contents of the Defective Profile):
Here is the output from inspecting the profile for a brand new App ID (com.technology519.linksi.app2). As you can see, the correct entitlement is missing, and an incorrect devicecheck entitlement is present instead.
This is a critical bug in the provisioning profile generation service for my account that is blocking all development. I have already filed a support ticket (Case #102721408444) but have so far only received generic, unhelpful responses.
Can an Apple engineer please investigate this server-side issue with my account?
Thank you.

I am receiving an entitlement error from stripe terminal SDK when integrating Tap to Pay from apple in the info.plist.
Im hoping that someone can give me their input on my error output rather than diving into the stripe sdk to point me in the right direction of something I may have missed with entitlements.
I have been approved for tap to pay entitlement and am following the instructions here from apple: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/proximityreader/setting-up-the-entitlement-for-tap-to-pay-on-iphone

Hello!
I've just recently discovered LaunchCodeRequirement API and I'm exploring how it works compared to existing alternatives available for macOS versions below 14.4.
Some questions I have with regards to safety of older and newer APIs examining the given example:
func runProcess(executableURL: URL) throws {
let process = Process()
process.executableURL = executableURL
if #available(macOS 14.4, *) {
process.launchRequirement = try LaunchCodeRequirement.allOf {
ValidationCategory(.developerID)
SigningIdentifier("some-signing-identifier")
TeamIdentifier("some-team-identifier")
}
} else {
try secStaticCodeCheckValidity(executableURL) // Point #1
}
do {
try process.run() // Point #2
if #available(macOS 14.4, *) {
// process.launchRequirement should take care of the process
// and kill it if launchRequirement constraint is not satisfied
} else {
try secCodeCheckValidity(process.processIdentifier) // Point #3
}
process.waitUntilExit()
} catch {
process.terminate()
throw error
}
// Point #4
guard process.terminationReason == .exit else {
throw SomeError()
}
}
let requirement =
"""
anchor apple generic
and identifier = "some-signing-identifier"
and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6]
and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13]
and certificate leaf [subject.OU] = "some-team-identifier"
"""
func secStaticCodeCheckValidity(_ executableURL: URL) throws {
// Init SecStaticCode from `executableURL`
// Init SecRequirement from `requirement`
let flags = SecCSFlags(rawValue: kSecCSBasicValidateOnly)
guard SecStaticCodeCheckValidityWithErrors(code, flags, secRequirement, nil) == errSecSuccess else {
throw CodeSignError()
}
}
func secCodeCheckValidity(_ processIdentifier: Int32) {
// Init SecCode from `processIdentifier`
// Init SecRequirement from `requirement`
guard SecCodeCheckValidityWithErrors(code, [], secRequirement, nil) == errSecSuccess else {
throw CodeSignError()
}
}
Before macOS 14.4+ flow
There's still a small chance that between checking executable binary codesign requirement (Point #1) and launched process' one (Point #3) the binary could be replaced with something malicious and even get some CPU between Points #2 and #3 so technically it can't be 100% safe. Is that a correct statement? Any advices on making it safer?
macOS 14.4+ flow
Now let's see how launchRequirement is better. I guess initialized launchRequirement gets evaluated on running the process (Point #2).
What does it exactly check? Executable at URL before launching the process (as OnDiskConstraint) or launched process (as ProcessConstraint)?
Is there any chance the process gets some CPU before it's killed in case of failed codesign check?
Any way to distinguish between codesign requirement termination and other reasons at point #4? It returns SIGKILL (9) as terminationStatus but it's not precise enough to be sure it was killed due to failed requirement check. I guess newer SecStaticCodeCheckValidityWithOnDiskRequirement & SecCodeCheckValidityWithProcessRequirement are the same as SecStaticCodeCheckValidityWithErrors & SecCodeCheckValidityWithErrors but a little simpler and can't be used as a 'more secure' way of validating codesign requirement.
Thanks,
Pavel
