Xcode Error: "The app ID cannot be registered to your development team." - ios

We are porting an Android app to iOS for a client. They have added our account to their iTunes Connect account and created an app entry. We developed the app using the bundle ID they specified.
But now, when the app is ready for testing, we can't create a provisioning profile in Xcode. It is set to Automatic signing and this error is shown:
Failed to create provisioning profile.
The app ID "<bundle-id>" cannot be registered to your development team. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again.
Our account is added as an App Manager in their iTunes Connect account, but still we can't take output with this ID. This error is not shown if we change the bundle ID in Xcode.

Meet same Issue on one mac, but ok on another mac.
I'm sure bundle ID is fine and unique.
I know it is provisioning profile issue, so
Try refreshing the provisioning profile on your Local computer.
Then It Works!
cd ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles
rm *
Xcode > Preferences... > Accounts > click your Account and Team name > click Download Manual Profiles
Run app again

Go to Build Settings tab, and then change the Product Bundle Identifier to another name. It works in mine.

You have to rename Organization Identifier on Bundle Identifier on settings tab.
Only by renaming the Organization Identifier error will remove.

I had this same issue as OP and the problem was that I was invited only on appstoreconnect and not on developer.apple.com. After being invited as a member on developer.apple.com and going into the preferences in XCode, I got a new option to sign as a member of the organization. Setting signing team as member of organization in project settings fixed the issue. After that creating the provisioning profile was successful using automatic signage management.

This happened to me, even though I had already registered the Bundle Id with my account. It turns out that the capitalisation differed, so I had to change the bundle id in Xcode to lowercase, and it all worked. Hope that helps someone else :)

Changing Bundle Identifier worked for me.
Go to Signing & Capabilities tab
Change my Bundle Identifier. "MyApp" > "MyCompanyName.MyApp"
Enter and wait a seconds for generating Signing Certificate
If it still doesn't work, try again with these steps before:
Remove your Provisioning Profiles: cd /Users/my_username/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles && rm * (in my case)
Clearn your project
...

If this persists even after clearing provisioning profile and re-downloading them, then it might be due to the bundle ID already registered in Apple's MDM push certificate.

None of the above answers worked for me, and as said in the original question I had also to keep the same bundle identifier since the app was already published in the store by the client.
The solution for me was to ask the client to change my access from App Manager to Admin, so that I had "Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.", you can check if it is the case in the App Store Connect => Users and Access => and then click on your profile (be sure to choose the right team if you belong to multiple).
Once you are admin go back to Xcode and in the signing tab select 'Automatically manage signing', then in Team dropdown you should be able to select the right team and the signature will work.

My problem was I was modifying the settings for the wrong version of my app.
I had "Debug" selected instead of "Release", so my bundle identifier was not accurate when it came time to Archive.

error message
The app identifier "my.bundle.id" cannot be registered to your development team because it is not available. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again.
try this
Apple developer > Account > Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers

I encountered the same problem when I was trying to compile a sample project provided by Apple. In the end I figured out that apparently they pre-compiled the sample code before shipping them to developers, so the binary had their signature.
The way to solve it is simple, just delete all the built binaries and re-compile using your own bundle identifier and you should be fine.
Just go to the menu bar, click on [Product] -> [Clean Build Folder] to delete all compiled binaries
Clean Build Folder

I had the issue with different development teams. I just checked the schema signings and picked the correct development team for the schemas that I needed:

I delete the Bundle identifier in the https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list, then it works.

IF you are working with different build configs then check in Signing & Capabilities Tab are you using Correct Bundle Identifier.

For Xcode v12 and above
Open the .xcworkspace file using Xcode
Then go directly to the General section, you'll see Bundler Identifier
Then change the name in the bundler identifier
for example com.myapp-dev.app should be changed to com.myapp.app.
This worked for me.

I was able to get the original bundle identifier to work on my paid team membership account (after having it assigned to my personal team) by revoking the personal team signing certificate that was assigned to the same account id.
On the Apple Developer website sign in with the paid account it, go to Certificates, IDs & Profiles.
Click the personal team certificate.
Click the Revoke button.
Go back to XCode and try signing again. A new certificate will be generated that should work with the bundle id.
This won't work if you still need the certificate for other apps.

If none of the above solutions work, you may want to check your folder names. I had another folder, within a separate parent folder but sharing an ancestor directory, with the same name as my project folder. Renaming the other folder to something else resolved the issue. If I had to guess, Xcode was looking for the project in the parent directory, found the alternate folder with the same name and got confused...

Due to Security issue my client do not want to share the personal credentials. He just add my apple id in developer.apple.com
After that I create the certificate from key chain and add it into apple developer Account.
My client also add the bundle identifier and send it to me the latest certificate
Now you need to add Team account
Note: You must add team account not your apple id account
In my case i got 2 ids one of mine muhammadusman17....#gmail.com and the other one is "CHT Team" i just select the CHT Team then its working perfectly

Remove your account from xcode and sign in again:
Xcode -> Preferences -> 'Acount' Tab
Choose your account and tap '-' in the bottom left corner
Tap '+' and sign in to your account again
Archive

As per shown in the picture go to runner and then click on release set your team correctly it will solve your issue thanks

I know it sounds incredible stupid and unbelievable, but what I did to fix it - after 2 hours, was changing my bundle identifier to all lowercase and appending "123" at the end.
This really solved the issue. I don't know why, as I am not a xcode developer.
The only thing that mattered was getting it running on a physical device.

What worked for me was to simply just delete the identifier from the previous developement team on the page Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.

Solved by Just --> bundle identifier to all lowercase
check in apple Developer & same use in Xcode project
Issue will be solved 100%

Changing the bundle identifier to all lowercase fixed the problem for me

At the center top of your XCODE screen, change your device.
For example: Apple Pie>iPad Pro (12.9-inch)(5th generation)
----------------------(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)
^change this to your device ^

Failed to register bundle identifier

I need to put the latest version of the app on AppStoreConnect to test it on TestFlight.
I encounter a problem when archiving the project in order to upload it on AppStoreConnect and be able to add a new version of the app and test it on TestFlight.
I have been added as a developer in AppStoreConnect in the project.
So I added my profile in Xcode with the right email address. During archiving, these two errors appear:
Failed to register bundle identifier: The app identifier "com.xxxxx.app" cannot be registered to your development team because it is not available. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again.`
No profiles for 'com.xxxxx.app' were found: Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'com.xxxxx.app'.`
I confirmed with the project manager the bundleID which is good: "com.xxxxx.app".
Despite several tries and research, I haven't found the solution to this problem, so I can't archive the app so I can add AppStoreConnect.
Thanks for your help
Trying changing Team to just "Your Name" without (personal team) extension. This is what worked for me.
Hey :) when opening preferences for Xcode do you see your company user account?
also when opening the target app underder singing & capabilities, do you see that it is all clear there or is there an error? (you should see that under signing certificate field your account is configured)
I think the solution is to change the XXXX in "com.xxxxx.app" to unique value like your name and last name for example : "com.zizou.app".

Add the “iCloud containers” entitlement to your App ID

I am trying to fix this issue for hours now.
I have checked the App ID and confirmed the iCloud containers.
Also i have entered the same in the app entitlements.
But there is a always a red mark before "Add the “iCloud containers” entitlement to your App ID". I created the new provisioning profile and removed the expired provision files also.
This is the first time i am facing this issue.
Is this issue related with the developer certificate signing or something?
I was having the same problem couple of days ago. Fixed it by doing these steps:
Go to your developer account
Find the App ID you are working on
Click edit.
On the iCloud section select the radio button that says "Include CloudKit support (requires Xcode 6)"
Worked for me.
For me everything was just fine. I had to close and reopen xcode. Then go to 'Capabilities' and Toggle the 'iCloud' i.e OFF and Then ON it again.
I solved this by:
Turn off iCloud capabilities.
Change the app's bundle id.
Turn on iCloud capabilities.
Now everything is regenerated afresh, and the error goes away. Of course, now the bundle id is wrong. But now you can go to the member center, delete the old (faulty) app id and any associated provisioning profiles, and change the bundle id back again.
I was trying to add an App ID matching my project's bundle ID, but it still doesn't update the warnings in iCloud.
Then I found that in "General" -> "Signing" it says Target is ad hoc signed, and I tapped the Enable Development Signing button, then Xcode started to auto manage the App ID etc and everything turned green :]
In my case, under Xcode - General - Signing, the name in the Team field was not correct.
At least in Xcode 9.1, I had to choose the Team in Signing section (Target -> General pane). The team was already chosen but I had to choose it again to make the error disappear. It might have to do with developer certificate renewal.
I tried all of the above, in the end all I did was quit Xcode, open it up again, and toggle the iCloud capability off and on again.
Try
- delete all provisioning profiles
- go to Xcode->preference->account
- add your apple id here (makes you easy to download profiles)
- Click download profiles.
I Turned on iCloud
Set the Cloud kit Container through the Apple Developer dashboard to the app I needed
Rename project bundle Identifier from the Xcode 10 and rename back to the original identifier after all fine
Provisional profile got updated

Xcode error: no provisioning profiles with a valid signing identity matching the bundle identifier

I'm trying to run an iOS app on my iPhone in xCode. The app is essentially a third party keyboard for iOS, and it was made by a group of friends. They have added me as 'developer' in iTunes connect. When I try to run the app on my iPhone I get the following error:
No provisioning profiles with a valid signing identity (i.e.
certificate and private key pair) matching the bundle identifier
“com.nameofteam.nameofapp.nameofapp-keyboard” were found. Xcode can
attempt to fix this issue. This will reset your code signing and
provisioning settings to recommended values and resolve issues with
signing identities and provisioning profiles.
When I click on 'Fix Issue', it says:
An App ID with Identifier "com.nameofteam.nameofapp.nameofapp-keyboard" is not available. Please enter a different string.
TL;DR Xcode is very particular about the name you give your App ID in the member center. Having the correct bundle identifier is not enough. You must use the specific format shown below for Xcode to "see" your App ID.
#romrom's solution of deleting the App ID and having Xcode create a new one was a clue. Unfortunately it was a nonstarter for me since my App ID was used by a Store app and therefore could not be deleted.
However, I discovered through some experimentation that I could solve the problem by manually editing the exiting App ID. It turns out that Xcode is really picky about the name of the ID, and not just the bundle ID.
For a typical bundle ID such as com.mycompany.appname, the App ID name must be in this format:
XC com mycompany appname
a name in any other format won't be seen by Xcode.
How to check if you're affected / How to Fix
Log in to the Member Center.
Click on "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles".
One the left-hand navigation bar, click on "App IDs".
Locate the App ID with your bundle identifier.
If that App ID doesn't have the correct name format (as shown above), click on it then click the Edit button.
Change the name and click Done.
Enjoy the reduction in stress and anger.
P.S. There are some related problems if you're using Xcode 7.3 in which it won't automatically create proper distribution profiles for you, even if you fix the name as I mentioned above. The solution is to downgrade to 7.2.1 or 7.3 Beta or use a tool like fastlane/sigh.
Try this,
Add your Apple ID to Accounts preferences in Xcode.
Go to General tab in Project and choose your team name from the Team pop-up menu.
Below the Team pop-up menu, click Fix Issue.
For starters you want to make sure your bundle identifier is exactly the same as the one on iTunes connect otherwise,
since you seem to have the source code it appears the bundle id you are trying to use is already in use, try a different unique identifier.
Also make sure you have your Apple ID connected to Xcode, it can be added in the accounts section of Xcode preferences. You may also need to create a self signing certificate in keychain access.
as stupid as it sounds - make sure your Provisioning Profile is set correctly in the "Build Settings" tab, under "Code Signing" section, and that it matches the Code Signing Identity certificates.
In my case, I had the Ad-Hoc dist & Release provisioning profiles set correctly, but the the DEBUG was set to Automatic.

The executable was signed with invalid entitlement [duplicate]

The executable was signed with invalid entitlements.
The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile.(0xE8008016).
I am getting this error. please help me.
I have create the provisioning profile and change the bundle id. I have enable the keychain sharing from Target->Capabilities and generate the new .entitlement file. and i have also change the bundle id in that.
In my case (using XCode 10.0) nothing worked but this:
File > Project Settings... > Shared Project Settings: > Build System
--> Selected "Legacy Build System" instead of the default "New Build System (Default)".
For me in Xcode 5.1, I was getting The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile. when trying to test the app on my device. Device Development Certificate has to expire Feb 2015.
Issue was resolved:
Selected Target->Capabilities, under GameCenter, here I was getting error on GameCenter entitlement as it was not added to project, although first version of application was released via same XCode 5.1 but there were no errors like this before.
Below, a button was given with title Fix Issue. When clicked it added the GameCenter entitlement and issue was resolved.
After wards the screen looks like:
For me, there was nothing to do with certificate or bundle identifier. App now runs successfully on the device.
In XCode 7.3 I encountered the same question, I 've made the mistake because:
Name in (info.plist -->Bundle identifier) is not the same as (target-->build settings -->packaging-->Product bundle identifier). Just make the same, that solved the problem.
As others have pointed out, if you get this error, you need to check that the Bundle ID value in both your .plist file and also here:
First of all, you should check bundle id, provision profile and certificate with private key (.p12).
If it doesn't help. Be sure that the Code Signing Entitlements has correct value or remove it at all.
File > Workspace Settings > Build System > Legacy Build System
This worked for me.
Xcode 10.0
Reassign the value of Automatically manage signing, this works for me
In my case, the app main Target's Team was different from Tests' Target Team. Changing the Tests' Team to the same Team as main Target's solves the issue.
None of the previous answers either applied or worked for me. In my case, updating the settings of the test project, as follows, fixed it:
One possible reason for this error is: your annual subscription has been renewed. Once the subscription is renewed, all devices related to the active provision profiles will be detached.
The admin must reactivate the list of devices for the new subscribed year.
The admin must delete last year provision profiles. (all are useless).
The admin must regenerate new provision profiles for the new year with the list of devices of his choice.
After this, rebuild project with Xcode and the error will disappear.
Had this issue. My main app and extension belonged to the same app group id correctly, but there was also one more app ID not in my project that shared said app group id. I had to remove this last app ID's association with the app group.
I was having same issue on Xcode 7.3 with iPad Air 2 with iOS 9.3.4!
Then I tried many options.
Finally I deleted profile from device, changed bundle identifier in project settings, and whola!
It worked for me.
P.S. I was using free provision profile using free Apple ID.
for me, just press cmd+, then go to account ,chose your developer account refresh(XCODE6) OR download all (XCODE7) will fix.
This happened to me when I was trying to build an App-store ipa exported file on my device, I had to export ad-hoc instead.
You should check provision profile is Product or Develop, if your project use multi configuration
You should check configuration which called by schema, because it must make sure, your configuration was set provision Develop
Check your bundle identifier and your profiles. If you have a profile for a specific bundle identifier and no team ones and your bundle identifier does not match it will give you that error.
Bundle identifier is in General section of your project properties and the profiles you can check in build settings.
In my case, I had a duplicate Provisioning Profile with the same name. This was accidentally created when I added an share extension to my project, stash all of those changes with git, and created a new share extension with the same name (com.companyname.project.share-extension-name). Deleting the Provisioning Profile in the developer member center (developer.apple.com) fixed this for me.
Had this issue with a cordova / ionic3 app, was caused by forking a main app and not selected again the legacy system in project settings. I selected legacy and the entitlements bs went away.
Had the same problem, nothing was helping, but I looked in Info.plist and found out that bundle ID was changed to other name (I don't know how it happened), so when I changed it to correct one everything was fine again.
I have also this problem when I do with XCode project what is exported from cordova framework.
Resolution : You have to create Apple-ID and Provisioining-profile by yourself. Because Xcode seems to be unable to create it for you.
For me, it was an inconsistency between Debug profile (it was automatic) and Release profile (it was manual). Setting them both automatic/manual resolved the issue.
I had to delete all the provisioning profiles by following this article.
