Hello, I'm have a new Macbook and setup my Enterprise account. Part of my job is to view the expiration dates on certificates for other users. This should be a simple process but when I click on the certificate, there's a button "view certificates" I should be able to click on and see the expiration date and basic details on that specific certificate. The problem I have is that when I click on "view certificates", I get the error: "An error has occurred. Unable to display information about the selected item." I've tried steps online but to no avail. How can I get this fixed? My two other coworkers are able to just click on that button and view the certificate details, except for me. I've attached the screenshot. Thank you for your help Regards JJ

Hi, we are working on an application which will perform scheduled backup tasks in macOS 14. The app has been granted full disk permission. Recently we updated the code signing for the executable (/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp below) for passing the new notarization. After that, we found launchctl unable to load the plist for the schedule job <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <key>Label</key> <string>com.MyApp.scheduler</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp</string> <string>/Applications/MyApp.app</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>AbandonProcessGroup</key> <true/> <key>WorkingDirectory</key> <string>/Applications/MyApp.app/bin</string> </dict> </plist> Related error message found in /var/log/com.apple.xpc.launchd/launchd.log* 2023-12-13 13:59:34.639672 (system/com.MyApp.scheduler [13434]) <Notice>: internal event: SOURCE_ATTACH, code = 0 2023-12-13 13:59:34.644530 (system/com.MyApp.scheduler [13434]) <Error>: Service could not initialize: posix_spawn(/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp), error 0x1 - Operation not permitted 2023-12-13 13:59:34.644545 (system/com.MyApp.scheduler [13434]) <Error>: initialization failure: 23C64: xpcproxy + 38300 [1097][925DE4E7-0589-3B33-BB64-7BC2F8629897]: 0x1 2023-12-13 13:59:34.644548 (system/com.MyApp.scheduler [13434]) <Notice>: internal event: INIT, code = 1 2023-12-13 13:59:34.644915 (system/com.MyApp.scheduler [13434]) <Notice>: xpcproxy exited due to exit(78) We have tried to update the entitlements for library and main executable files while still not success on make it works again.

Hello. We are working on a flutter project using the same unique iOS app bundle id in all of our team's local repo. Only one of us is enrolled in an individual Apple Developer Program. The app runs properly for at least 3 of us while others are getting the error that the bundle ID is not available. Given that it the 3 of us did not require a unique bundle ID in each of our local copies, do you know how to resolve this issue? Also, it would be helpful if you could share how to handle the issue of requiring a unique bundle ID for flutter projects if our team is not enrolled in the Apple Developer Enterprise program.

Hello! Firstly, I am submitting an entitlement request to access the E-sim configuration for the iOS application. While filling out the form, I encountered an issue with providing carrier information. The form is designed for a single carrier, but I have five carriers. Should I list all of them? Secondly, I have come across numerous discussions online regarding the time it takes to process such requests. Could you please provide me with an estimated timeframe for completion? Our customer is interested in completing the feature within a month. Thanks

The current structure of my SDK xcframework is XXXX-Release.xcframework. Inside that, I have an XXXX.xcframework and a LICENSE.md file. Currently, this structure works fine in Swift Package Manager, dropping the XXXX-Release.xcframework file into Xcode and CocoaPods. When I sign my xcframework as per Apple's requirements, I need to sign XXXX.xcframework, which is on the second level. Signing this works fine. Will this meet Apple's requirements for signing an xcframework? I just want to make sure the current structure of my SDK does not need to change. Thanks

Hello, I have an application which is running sandboxed and it also launches a child processes via posix_spawn. I already learned that child processes are running in the same sandbox as the launching application. What I wonder is if there is a way to launch the child with different sandbox profile from the parent application while maintaining the parent-child relationship? My use case is that helper applications doesn't need access to bunch of stuff the parent needs and we want to limit blast radius in case of security problem. I know that's what XPCServices are for, but we have a multi-platform code which is relying on POSIX process model quite heavily. Thank you

Could someone let me know if it is possible to create a self-signed Developer ID Installer certificate? Create an installer package using this certificate. And share it with others. This is just to do a simple proof of concept.

Hello, I am setting up a build (Gitlab CICD) runner. I create a keychain and imported certificate and my signing key. $ security find-identity -v XXXXXX "Developer ID Application: XXXXXX, INC. (XXXXXX)" (CSSMERR_TP_NOT_TRUSTED) 1 valid identities found $ security find-identity -p codesigning -v XXXXXX "Developer ID Application: XXXXXX, INC. (XXXXXX)" 1 valid identities found Codesign fails with unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Developer ID Application: XXXXXX, INC. (XXXXXX)" errSecInternalComponent On the local machine everything is fine. I think the point is that the identity is both valid and CSSMERR_TP_NOT_TRUSTED. What can I do about it?

I'm trying to notarize an Objective-C app I've written in Xcode 15. I've mostly been following this guide: https://scriptingosx.com/2021/07/notarize-a-command-line-tool-with-notarytool/. I got the Developer ID Application and Developer ID Installer certificates from Apple developer. I made sure hardened runtime was on in Xcode and chose Developer ID Application under the signing settings before archiving and exporting. After setting up my notarytool profile, I used "xcrun notarytool submit" to submit for notarization. This first attempt went over 24 hours and still said "In Progress" so I cancelled it. For my second attempt I built an installer pkg for my app signed with my Developer ID Installer certificate. I submitted this for notarization with "xcrun notarytool submit" and after over 24 hours of "in progress' it returned "the request timed out". What am I doing wrong in the sign/notarize process?

We create app but not select Bundle ID. I was create some Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. But not show one this. Please check bug. Thank Apple!

I hope this message finds you well. I am seeking assistance regarding the Full Disk Access entries. While the following command worked for entries with a bundle ID: sudo tccutil reset All com.mcafee.tp.endpointsecurity I am facing difficulty with entries lacking a bundle ID. The commands I used for specific entries are as follows: sudo tccutil reset SystemPolicyAllFiles /usr/local/McAfee/AntiMalware/VShieldScanner sudo tccutil reset SystemPolicyAllFiles /usr/local/McAfee/fmp/bin64/fmpd Unfortunately, these commands do not seem to remove the entries. Could you provide guidance on how to reset entries without a bundle ID? Note: it’s a Mcafee product and all the files are removed except from full disk entry i just want to remove only the VShieldScanner and fmpd Your assistance in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated & find the attached snap.

If I develop my app with an SDK(binary) that other person developped and then the SDK certificate has expired,Can I submit my app to app store? Or should I get a new SDK with updating certificate?

Is it possible to read messages from chat.db inside a MacOS app? I'm developing a MacOS app, I'm able to successfully connect to ~/Library/Messages/chat.db but when I try to run a query I get Error preparing select: authorization denied I know other apps like TablePlus are able to read chat.db but these apps are outside of iOS. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! Since iOS 17.4, it's now easier to set up an eSIM from a browser/email or with a link. We can now longpress the QR code to get the option to add an eSIM. Is it still required to have that private entitlement to enable the same functionality in-app but not in a browser? Seems odd. I can store QR codes on Imgur to install eSIM but can't do the same with my native app by CTCellularPlanProvisioning.addPlan method. Redirecting users to the browser seems like a workaround, but it creates a noticeable discrepancy in usability. I might have overlooked some SDK updates or new methods. Are there any new approaches to enable in-app eSIM setup with the latest update? Secondly, in the "Other eSIM activation methods" section of this page, a special link is mentioned, but I couldn't find any examples or resources for that. Thanks

I've developed a crypto token kit extension using the Xcode template. I've successfully added the certificate and its corresponding private key to the keychain. However, when attempting to sign with this certificate, I need to call a command-line interface (CLI) that I've created. The CLI is located at ~/Applications/mycli/cli_executable. My issue arises because the extension is sandboxed, prohibiting direct communication with the CLI. I attempted to remove the sandbox, but that didn't resolve the problem (the extension wasn't being registered without the app sandboxed). Additionally, the CLI relies on a database, so simply copying the file to the app container folder isn't a feasible solution (unless it's a symlink – I'm unsure if this is possible). How can I effectively address this problem and enable communication between the sandboxed extension and my CLI (GoLang app)? Thank you.

In macOS, the App Sandbox is designed to restrict applications' access to system resources and user data, mitigating damage from potential threats. However, I'm unclear on its relationship with permissions and how it effectively reduces such threats. For example, with com.apple.security.device.camera, it seems to me that NSCameraUsageDescription should suffice. If an application is granted permission via NSCameraUsageDescription, configuring com.apple.security.device.camera still doesn't guarantee protection against malicious access to user data, does it? Or, if I haven't configured both com.apple.security.device.camera and NSCameraUsageDescription, could a malicious app still somehow prompt the camera permission dialog or bypass permission checks and access the camera without the com.apple.security.device.camera configuration?

I have a macOS app which contains a dext. I'd like to distribute it to external testers using TestFlight, so it has to pass Mac App Store review. It failed, because the App Sandbox entitlement was missing. I checked the app, it has the entitlement, but the dext does not. However, the .entitlements file used by the dext does contain App Sandbox set to true. I tried adding a "fake-entitlement" value to the .entitlements file, and that made it into the dext's code signature, but the App Sandbox entitlement appears to be stripped out by the build process? For a dext target, it isn't possible to add the App Sandbox capability in Xcode's Signing and Capability section. I have to add the entitlement manually in the .entitlement file (or it was put there by the Xcode driver template, I don't remember). I've tried clean building several times, I've tried Xcode 15.0.1, 15.2 and 15.3, but the result is always the same. I'm inspecting the entitlements using codesign -dvvv --entitlements - Does anyone know what I can do to put the App Sandbox entitlement into my dext's signature? Is this happening to anyone else?

According to the new requirements for binary XCFrameworks they should be code signed. I watched the WWDC23 video 10061-Verify app dependencies with digital signatures and while it helpfully provides the command to sign the framework after building, it doesn’t mention how to sign it when your distribution certificates are of the Cloud managed kind, and therefore not actually in the macOS Keychain. My question is how can I sign a binary XCFramework when the only distribution certificate we have is in the cloud? I am a part of a team in App Store Connect, if that’s relevant. Thanks 🙌

I requested the com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name entitlement on Feb 11 and received an email reply stating "We’ll contact you within a few weeks with your request status." However, it's been more than a month without any updates. Can anyone chime in with their experience RE: how long it took for Apple to review their request for this entitlement? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_device-information_user-assigned-device-name

Hi, I created a developer id certification from my apple developer account a couple of year ago and downloaded it as .cer file into my Laptop. Now I want to use this certificate to sign my application, but unfortunately Xcode shows an error message like 'Missing Private Key" and I can also see that there is no private key under my developer id certificate(there is no grey arrow to expand to see private cer) in keychain access. Moreover my developer account is expired and I do not want to extend it yet so unfortunately no solutions with apple developer account will work like creating a new certification etc. Do you have any other solutions like using Keychain Access or Xcode to link my private key again into my developer id certificate? Note: 1-.cer file was created on my laptop by me, which I am using now. So I would expected that the related private key should already exist in my Keychain Access(if I did not delete it mistakenly.) but I do not know which private key is the relevant one, I have several of them. 2-I have also a CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest file which was copied near my .cer file. Maybe it could be useful for a solution? 3-No! unfortunately I do not have any .p12 file. 4-I had already installed current AppleWWDRCAG3 file before I import my .cer file into my Keychain Access Tool. 5-Get Info shows that my cer file is still valid till sep 2025. 6- I have already restarted my Xcode and laptop. 7-I tried all solutions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12867878/missing-private-key-in-the-distribution-certificate-on-keychain 8-https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/ shows me no certificate with the reason that my membership expired 9-I removed and re-added my apple account into Xcode. the same error occurred. XCODE:Version 15.3 (15E204a) OSX:macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 Thanks a lot in advance.
