As indicated in the title, Xcode is not being able to automatically create app Id and provisioning profile for an app i’m developing. I have checked the “Automatically manage signing” option but on the developer portal i can’t see any app id or provisioning profile matching the provided bundle identifier.
The problem arises only if I select, in the “team” selection, my developer account . For example, by using my enterprise account, the “waiting to repair” message is shown in Xcode and i can see the new app id created in the enterprise account portal.
If I change the bundle identifier and I select again my developer account, nothing happens, no errors and no warnings. I’m able to install the application on a device and all seems to be good. However, in my developer portal I still do not see the app id and provisioning profile so i can’t send the application to iTunes connect in order to submit to the Apple store.
Moreover, trying with other apps, all is ok even using my developer account.
I searched on line but i can’t be able to find a similar problem, are there any particular settings that are preventing the automatic Xcode app id creation to work for my app?
EDIT
it seems it’s not a problem related to the particular app. In fact I tried to create a new application fromo scratch and i have the same problem. I still do not have the problem on old apps (already uploaded on itunes connect) but i have the problem on all the newly created apps. Is that a problem with my developer certificate?
EDIT 2
I noticed that for all the newly created applications the App ID is set to: " * " (see image below). In my old apps the App ID and iOS Team Provisioning Profile are not equals to " * ". I have also deleted the wildcard id from my developer portal but the problem still remain.
I had a similar problem and i solved with a workaround. I have enabled push notifications in the "capabilities" tab (i.e, adding them to the entitlements), in this way the app id and provisioning profile have been correctly generated on the developer portal. Later, I have disabled push notifications (not needed in my project).
It's only a workaround, hope it helps
Somewhat related: I played around with Apples provisioning profiles in a desperate attempt of trying to wrap my head around their signing nightmare. In the process I deleted all the app ids from apple.developer that Xcode had automatically generated.
Afterwards I couldn't get Xcode to regenerate the app ids and I didn't wanted to manually create them, so what I had to do was to delete the automatically generated provisioning profiles from ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/.

I am new to Mac and I have to use it for developing Ionic hybrid app for iOS. I am using Mac 10.11 with Xcode 7.
Now, I have get my app ready and want to deploy it to app store. But I am having trouble with the App ID. In my Xcode, when I go to account, I can see Team Name list with 2 items. One is my name with Agent for iOS and Mac. The other one is my name (Personal Team) with Free for iOS and Mac.
The problem is in the Personal Team item, I have the provisioning profiles with the app ID I want to use for deploy into app store. Since it is already in here, I can’t create that app ID again in my developer account. I tried but I can’t find a way to remove it.
So, how can I remove that app ID / Provisioning Profile so that I can use it in my developer account?
Thank you.
The only way I manage to do that is to contact the customer support (Apple Developer Program Support), after few days and few back and forth they finally deleted the bundle id from my Personal Team and I was able to add it to my Developer Program (Agent) profile. I know this is not ideal but at least if you really want to use the same Bundle ID it worked for me.
The issue is not with App ID but Bundle ID that is unique in the AppStore.
Currently, you can't 'restore' Bundle ID in any way.
You can create another App ID with the same Name but different Bundle ID.
Solution: go to your other Developer Program, create new App, choose slight different Bundle ID and you are good to go.
Reference:
Apple Documentation
You can select your App ID in the Developer portal under iOS App IDs to edit and delete.
If you're referring to your iTunes Connect listing, you cannot remove your application listing. You can however use a different Bundle ID with the same App ID. Which, in turn, would solve your problem.
As for Provisioning profiles, you can edit and remove them in the Provisioning Portal.
#Alexandros Trepeklis suggested contacting Apple Developer Program Support; they may be able to help you remove the original app listing.
And as #Krodak mentioned, you should read 's documentation on the subject.
You can delete an App ID and Bundle ID on your own through the developer portal if you have not yet posted the app to iTunes Connect. The TL;DR is that you need to add a capability to your app to force Xcode to generate an explicit listing for your app on the portal. Once the listing is there, you can remove it (and all associated provisioning profiles and whatnots).
Step by step:
Add a capability, say push notifications, to your app.
Now log in to the developer portal. Go to Account > Certificates, IDs, & Profiles > App IDs. You should see the App ID prefixed with "XC"
Click on the App ID you want to delete and then click the Edit button.
Click Delete towards the bottom of the listing.
Confirm the delete. This should free up the App ID and Bundle ID for use with another team.
I have an iOS app with four targets (iOS App, WatchKit App, WatchKit Extension, custom framework), that I want to publish for in-house usage.
Since wildcard app IDs cannot be used for in-house apps, I created four new explicit App IDs.
I also created four new provisioning profiles, where I selected the "In House" option and the new App IDs.
Then I downloaded the new provisioning profiles to XCode and configured them in my Build Settings, for each target.
I also already executed the Clean-task, deleted my Derived Data-folder and deleted / re-downloaded all provisioning profiles multiple times.
The problem is: I still get the error
"Wildcard App IDs cannot be used to create In House provisioning profiles. Please use an Explicit App ID."
when I click the Upload to App Store button or try to export the archive.
What am I missing here or what else can I try?
Please ask if you need any further information or clarification.
(I already posted this in the Apple developer forums. But since it got very few views and no answers there, I decided to crosspost.)
I got the same error message about Wildcard App IDs when trying to export.
When searching for a solution I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35400712 about Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate Authority certificate being expired.
Checking my certificate and seeing it was expired I followed the directions and downloaded a new certificate: https://developer.apple.com/certificationauthority/AppleWWDRCA.cer.
After removing the old certificate I was able to proceed with the export.
I had the same issue. I resolved it by importing another provisioning profile for development, in addition to the one I had imported before for release.
This is my first time trying to upload app to app store, so I am completely lost. I have searched all over the web about the issue I am having, but could not find how to fix the issue.
Here is the problem:
I have developed an updated version for the existing iPhone app for client. Original version of app is already in app store for long time. Client wants me to upload new version of the app to their account in app store as "prerelease" for testing. They gave me their store account (admin role) username and password to log in. I added the account in Xcode and configured build settings to their team. But, after building the archive, when I click the "Validate" button and select their team, I am getting an error popup with the message "Your account already has a valid iOS Distribution certificate". I can't post images here, so here is snapshot image of the popup):
http://imgur.com/yLL5K1k
Apple troubleshooting documentation (documentation link here) shows that they should export developer profile and give me to import on my Mac. However, client say they don't have Mac and no Xcode, so they can't do it themselves. Apple documentation is mentioning another option - “Revoke and Request”, but I can't see that option. Also, if "revoke" is performed, will that affect client's application (more than 20 apps in app store)?
I have downloaded all of their certificates and profiles from Member center, imported to keychain, added account to Xcode, configured Xcode, but nothing helped.
Does anyone know what can I do, or ask to client, so that I can upload app to their app store account?
Thank you!
You must have downloaded the Distribution certificate from the account. That alone is not sufficient. You must get the private key from the client or developer who has created the certificate first or uploaded the application.
Log in to developer.apple.com portal, using the required credentials.
Click on "Manage your certificates, App IDs, devices, and provisioning profiles." under Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
Then click on "Certificates"
On the new page Click on "+" button at right upper corner.
Now on this page select "App Store and Ad Hoc" under Production.
Then follow the instructions related to CSR file given on new page.
Note: Create new certificates with unique names so that you won't download old certificates to your mac, mistakenly.

I am trying to enable push for an existing app have in the App Store.
I have not used a wildcard app id, but a specific app id.
I followed this tutorial for creating certificates, https://parse.com/tutorials/ios-push-notifications
When i try to create new App ID in Apple Developer Member Center it is asking for Bundle ID, when i enter my app Bundle ID it shows Bundle ID already taken
so, i tried to enable to push notification in my exiting app id, and created new provisions profile.
I am able to do this, but it doesn't show my provisioning profile in Xcode Under Project, "Build Settings", and inside the "Code Signing Identity"
and also i am unable to delete my existing App ID so that i can create new App ID.
While deleting it shows,The App ID '49TBXXXX6U.com.MYAPP' exists in the App Store so it cannot be removed.
Where i am making mistake ? why it is doesn't shows my profile in Xcode
Please help and Thanks in advance.
It seems like you are trying to enable push for an existing app you have in the App Store.
The app seems not to have used a wildcard app id, but a specific app id. If that is so, you must select the app id and continue from your step 1.3.
If this is not the case, it just seems you need to let XCode sync up the provisioning profiles. You do that from the XCode menu / Preferences / Accounts / View Details / Refresh (icon)
If all else fails, check Apples App Distribution Guide / Configuring Push Notifications
I have an IOS app archive that I want to validate and export so that I can upload it to itunes connect for testing with internal users first, then eventually beta testers. When I attempt to validate or export the archive I get a dialog titled "Failed to locate or generate matching signing assets:" with a message "Xcode attempted to locate or generate matching signing assests and failed to do so because of the following: An App ID with Indentifier 'myAppBundleId' is not available. Please enter a different string."
In the Apple Developer Member Center I had long ago created an app id for my app, corresponding APN ssl certificates, and a corresponding provisioning profile. Since I was unable to proceed as per the above dialog I tried giving my app a new bundle id, but when I then went to create an Archive with the new bundle ID it failed with a message "No matching provisioning profiles found". I next tried creating a new App ID that had an ID that matched my new bundle ID. When creating this new App ID I needed to enable push notifications, but it didn't show as enabled until I generated new SSL Certs.
I'm totally confused by all of this so this question really is about somehow finding clarity. I have a ton of unanswered questions that come to mind as I try to navigate this confusing Apple ecosystem. Some relate to the original issue and some are new questions that came up while trying things. I'll list:
When I created a new App ID for the same App, and created SSL certificates, I just reused the the CSR that I had previously created for the other earlier app ID. My thinking was that this might enable me to not actually have to do anything to my app or server since the CSR is the old one. But I'm wondering if it would fail because the bundle IDs and app IDs are new? I can't recall if there was anything in the CSR that matched to the bundle ID or App ID.
Is the app ID the same as the bundle ID?
In Developer Member Center under iOS Provisioning Profiles, there is a column titled "status". My older provisioning profiles say "Active (managed by Xcode)" and my newest ad-hoc provisioning profile says just "Active". What is the difference between the two? What makes a provisional profile managed by Xcode?
In itunes connect my bundle id is prefixed with the xcode bundle id suffix. E.g. my bundle ID in Xcode is FirstName-LastName.AppName, but in itunes connect it puts AppName - FirstName-LastName.AppName. what the heck?
Does Xcode ever automatically create an App ID?
I read that itunes connect's testflight doesn't require provisioning profiles for internal users, yet Xcode is complaining that "No Matching provisional profiles found" when I attempt to make the Archive with my new Bundle ID. Is a provisioning profile required for internal users or not?
Is there a good and up to date and comprehensive resource covering
the essentials of things like app ids, bundle Ids, testflight,
provisioning profiles, how provisioning profiles relate to app IDs,
etc. I'm left confused by Apples docs, and I've found one tutorial
on youtube that was somewhat helpful and current but not
comprehensive enough and didn't get me beyond the issues I'm
encountering. It was titled "Basically: iOS TestFlight Beta
Testing" in case anyone reading this is interested.
I'm confused by the message in Xcode "None of the valid provisioning profiles allowed the specified capabilities: Features: push, interAppAudio, and passbook". My confusion is because in Developer Member Center these features are setup when creating an App ID not when creating a provisional profile.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
I had the same issue a few days ago, fixed it by removing all invalid provisioning profiles from my account on https://developer.apple.com/, then I created a new valid provisioning profile and added the newly created one in XCode. Then in build settings I selected the valid provisioning profile instead of auto, and I was able to export with no issues. Good luck :)
