I'm not able to run my app on my device as Xcode is unable to create a provisioning profile for my app without the paid developer membership. I followed the troubleshooting steps on stack overflow here but to no avail. Any help?

I want to develop a very basic app for my wife. Since I'm into Windows and Android, I don't have any experience with MacOS. My wife is visually impaired and chose for an iPhone, and never switched since. I want to buy a cheap second hand MacBook Pro 2011 to be able to compile. Found this one online. Is it good enough? It doesn't matter if it's slow or has some weird glitches. Only thing I want is develop the app, install it, and then let the MacBook rest for the rest of its live (sorry for this sad story MacBook-lovers :)) [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Serial Number]

For some years I have developed and maintained a SwiftUI based app as GUI ontop of the command line tool rsync. The app is available on HomeBrew and works as expected, included using rsync command line tool from HomeBrew. I have now developed a new GUI, a downscale version of the original app, using SwiftData and using only the default rsync in /usr/bin/rsync. No access to remote servers by ssh-keys, only local attached disk on your Mac. SwiftData is used for storing data about synchronise tasks and log records from run. The app works, but as soon as I enable the App Sandbox, the app does not permit to executed default included command line tool from /usr/bin. The GUI app executes the command line tool by a Swift Process object.

Hello! I have never distributed an apple app before. Right now, I am trying to distribute a macOS app. I created a provisioning profile of type "Developer ID Application" and it has the following capabilities enabled. Now, when I download the profile and use it for my app, xcode gives me the following error: Lmk what I need to do since I am super unfamiliar with this process.

It requires a provisioning profile, and while I have one, I cannot select it within Signing & Capabilities since it is empty. On blank projects it works as intended, but whenever the Unity stuff gets imported, it just disappears entirely, making it impossible to export Unity Titles to visionOS.

VisionOS was just released recently. I am looking for information regarding codesigning and notarization. How will codesigning work for VisionOS apps? What kind of signing tools will be used for VisionOS? Will there be a requirement for provisioning profiles for VisionOS apps? Thanks.

There are several questions regaring the following guide about Interoperability requests in the EU. Will other developers be able to use all the APIs that have been created? For non-EU applications? If it's a private API, would there be a list of all the APIs that have been implemented to see who has which one? Will there be a difference in priority between feature requests submitted through Feedback Assistant and interoperability requests?

I am developing a Mac application. Within this application, I need to execute certain commands and expressions with root privilege access. I am working to perform this action, and once authenticated, it should persist throughout the entire app lifecycle. Similar to allowing keychain access for Xcode applications by selecting the 'Always allow' permission. Please let me know: 1. Is it possible for a third-party application to exhibit such behavior? 2. If it is possible, what type of permissions do I need to set? 3. Do I need any specific entitlements for this? Thank you for your insights and assistance. Your responses are highly valued, and any guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Following the description from https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/embedding-a-helper-tool-in-a-sandboxed-app* I successfully managed to run my app sandboxed on my development system. Nevertheless the copied application refuses to call the external tool unless it is compiled with NO for the App Sandbox entitlement. My app can be downloaded from: https://github.com/mac-curver/Postscript-Playground The last commit is using the App Sandbox entitlement but the commit before is not using it like compiled and zipped app in the Application folder on Github. The attached picture shows, running the sandboxed app on my development machine. Why the sandboxed does not run on other MACs? How could I test this? *P.S. I could not exactly execute all tasks as written in *, for example I require OS 13.0 and I am using a non commercial dev account (not paying for it).

Hi, our account holder did the networking.multicast entitlement request on November 24th through the appropriate form: https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/networking-multicast but we never received any kind of answer, positive or negative. We also tried to submit again the request 3 weeks ago and still no answer. I already checked if the entitlement was granted without an answer and we don't have it. I tried to write also with the feedback assistant but no answer. What I can do to unblock this situation?

Hi, I have create a universal app then did this: https://support.apple.com/en-vn/guide/apple-business-essentials/axm20c32e0c6/web But this doesn't produce a working package installer. productbuild --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: ****" --component /Applications/MyApp.app MyApp-universal.pkg Do I need to create a code signature with codesign, prior to call productbuild? regards, Joël

When we added a com.apple.developer.associated-domains entitlement to our apps, they crash on launch with a code signing error on our old 2011 Mac running 10.13.6 High Sierra. The signature is accepted on current Macs, and the associated domains do work. The command line utilities say everything is ok, the entitlement is in the signature and the embedded profile. The apps will run fine on High Sierra without the entitlement. The only guess I have is perhaps High Sierra is rejecting any unknown entitlement? The error is Code has restricted entitlements, but the validation of its code signature failed. Unsatisfied Entitlements: No Unsatisfied Entitlements are listed. Removing the entitlements from the signature lets the apps run on High Sierra.

I've installed the same developer certificate onto three different Macs. When viewed in the keychain (or in Xcode) on one Mac it says its revoked, on another it says its not trusted, but on a third there's no issue reported. How could there be a difference between the three Macs? (Both Macs have the date/time set to be the same). Can 3rd party software, VPNs etc. interfere in this at all?

Hello, I requested entitlement 4 times from 4 days ago. But I did not get any kind of response mail. I need entitlement for only development, to check file IO events. Is there any way to request entitlement ? Regards, Daehong

Hi, I would love to disable app sandbox completely, because my music application requires extended filesystem permissions. Like reading configuration files from $HOME and enabling services through sockets. The UI toolkit I am using endorses IPC mechanism. cheers, Joël

I'm experiencing consistent notarization issues with my macOS app, where my submissions are stuck "in progress". When I check the status after a while, I'm facing 404 errors, and the notarytool reports that the "submission Id does not exist." I've attempted to notarize it on different days, but with no success or clarifying error messages. Here are some of my notarization attempts that are still in progress: Jan 8, 2024: 25C31477-5893-4CAB-91AE-7900C261A1E4 Jan 15, 2024: Feb 7, 2024: 92B5B694-0952-4AE4-8BA3-2BBF54C96578 Feb 9, 2024: 3B3E047C-2B83-4499-9AE6-0B4F7922F5C2 Feb 10, 2024: C98A25BD-5A27-4112-AC99-6420599E30ED For an unknown reason I was able to notarize the app on 26 January, which was the only time it worked in 2024. As background, I had been notarizing this app without problem in 2023 for many months. I am able to correctly sign the app and export it without the notarization, and use it in my other Macbooks.

After Apple's maintenance completed this morning I am trying to submit an app for notarization - but I continuously get the "In Progress" status. Normally, the result is returned within a minute or two. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Is there a server problem? I am using AppWraper to Notarize and also using the API to verify the results: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/submissions/{id}

I am using Godot 4.2.1 and C# (.NET 8.0.1) to create an app. In Godot the app is exported to an XCode project so it can then be built to run on IOS devices. Access WiFi is checked in the Godot presets I have the multicast entitlement from Apple. Communication over UDP using Unicast to send and receive packets works correctly on iOS, macOS and Android devices. To set the multicast entitlement, the project name is selected in XCode, to open a big dialog box with multiple tabs. Click on the tab Signing and Capabilities. To add the multicast to the project "+ Capability" is clicked, search for "multi" which brings up multicast networking. Click on multicast networking to add it to the project. Then in the same dialog box, click the tab build settings and under "Signing" code signing identity is changed to iOS developer for all Debug and release items. The project is then built and run on the iOS device. The symptom is that no multicast packets are received. The multicast receiving code below works on macOS and Android devices so there must be something going on with the iOS devices that I'm missing. The UDP server is configured in C# code as a _listener: private const string MULTICAST_ADDRESS = "239.255.1.1"; private const int BCON_PORT = 49707; _listener = new UdpClient(); _listener.ExclusiveAddressUse = false; _listener.JoinMulticastGroup(IPAddress.Parse(MULTICAST_ADDRESS)); _listener.Client.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, BCON_PORT));

I am facing a problem in electron's apps notarisations. I have submitted my NodeJS code and the validations takes a long time. Hope, anyone can clarify why it takes so long.
