There is issue in my any swift application(Even there is nothing done in application) as I tried to install the application using distribution certificate and profile it is always crashing but if I am using development certificate and profile then it is working fine.
Also if I am using some other Mac system and use same certificates of distribution then it works well. Moreover Build size from my system is lesser than the build size than any other system build size.
I had tried all the suggestions related to this issues and changing settings or certificates but nothing helped me in this case.
Please suggest if you had faced similar issue or anyone you know.
Thanks In Advance
With Distribution certificate and profile app will not install from Xcode. You need to use only development certificates and profile for install app from Xcode to device. If you want to test with distribution certificate your app you can use test flight or iTune. Check below link for understanding -

I have read and tried all the fixed associated with releasing and app to the App Store, but I cannot find any suitable fix. I have setup an iOS developer account and created account, I have setup Xamarin to automatic provisioning but I am getting the error message "none of the currency installed provisioning profile". I have tried the following
Upgrade Xamarin and X Code
Change all Bundle Identifiers to the same
Delete all the certificates from the KeyChain
Restarted MacBook
Switched from Manual to Automatic bundles
Created a test app
Removed certificates from iOS account
Rebuild, cleaned, achieved the project several times
I just cannot resolve this problem, any help would be highly appreciated as it's driving me around the bend to release the app into the App Store.
Many thanks
You should use manual provisioning instead of automatic provisioning when releasing your app to app store.
From the official document about publishing iOS app to App Store:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/app-store-distribution/publishing-to-the-app-store
In the release build steps:
Navigate to the iOS Bundle Signing tab. Make sure that Configuration
is set to Release, Platform is set to iPhone, and that Manual
Provisioning is selected.
Of course you will need to have the corresponding distribution certificate and distribution provisioning profile created in Apple Developer page.
Many thanks for the help, I managed to resolve the problem with the following setups
Update all packages
Removed x-works (it was the latest version any way)
Re-install x-works
Delete all relating certificates in Keychain
Delete any certificates, profiles etc in app development site
Re-start Xamarin and MacBook (in the end did this several times)
Log out of Apple account in Xamarin
Re-log back into the Apple account in Xamarin
Setup auto provisioning in Xamarin i..e dev, dist etc and created the appropriate certificates
Generate a certificate within keychain using iOS account details
Plugged in iPhone and rebuilt the complete project
Achieved the build
Now it connected to the App Store and released the app
I am pretty sure you don't need to do all these steps, but seems like it took it back to the start of setting up Xamarin for app releasing. One problem might have been multiple certificates in KeyChain which caused the problem.
Many thanks for all the help and support.
I see that this question has been asked many times but I see no solution that works for me so I'm hoping that providing more info might shed some light.
We use appcenter.ms to test iOS apps. Until our iOS certificate expired this method worked fine. We generated a new enterprise certificate and ad hoc provisioning profile for new releases of the iOS app. Which led to the first curiosity.
I see how to upload a certificate on appcenter.ms but not a provisioning profile. I thought there was an option to do this in the past but perhaps I am mistaken. However, the app is signed with a provisioning profile before upload, so perhaps this is not needed now.
Once the app is uploaded, it can't be installed. It remains grey and when you tap it, you get the "this app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified" error. Again, that the .ipa is created with an ad hoc certificate and profile in Xamarin (VS for Mac).
Also, I can't install the provisioning profile on a device from appcenter.ms. You basically get stuck in a loop where you seem to successfully install the profile but have to keep doing it because it never actually installs.
I hope this is enough info for some insight and thanks in advance for any feedback.
We were able to solve this by redoing and downloading development certs and via
And also downloading and double clicking the apple development certificate here
After that our keychain showed both as trusted and we could build to the iPhone again.
The issue can be the your device is simply not registered on the developer portal and/or that ad-hoc provisioning profiles have not been regenerated.
You need to register your device, regenerate a provisioning profile with this device in it and rebuild your app using this profile.
This can also happen because of
Developer ID Notary Service - Outage
which can be checked on https://developer.apple.com/system-status/
Notarization is well explained here:
Notarization gives users more confidence that the Developer ID-signed
software you distribute has been checked by Apple for malicious
components. Notarization is not App Review. The Apple notary service
is an automated system that scans your software for malicious content,
checks for code-signing issues, and returns the results to you
quickly. If there are no issues, the notary service generates a ticket
for you to staple to your software.
Work around fix:
Select your app.
Navigate to TextFlight tab
Create External Testing group
Add one tester
Add build which you want to download using TestFlight
Open TestFlight and download an app.
In my case this was caused by trying to include an entitlement for aps-environment "development" when using an Ad-Hoc provisioning profile. The value for this environment in Entitlements.plist must match what is hard coded into the provisioning profile file - if you open an Ad-Hoc profile in a text editor you will see it expects the "production" environment.
The possible solutions depending on your requirements are to either use the Development profile/certificate, or change the aps-environment to "production" to continue using an Ad-Hoc provisioning profile.
It can also happen if you have other incorrect entitlements - worth checking what entitlements are enabled under the Identifier in Apple Developer portal and removing unnecessary ones.
I had this issue because when building the app on xCode for distribution (Product->Archive then Distribute App), I chose automatic signing. After manually signing the app and choosing my own generated certificate and profile, everything worked again fine.
I removed the Entitlements file from the Addition Resources in iOS Bundle Signing and it worked.
I think the MSAL configuration was set to debug in entitlements.plist
I have also face this issue before but for me the reason was little different
First the build was enterprise one and the build was made on the earlier Xcode version on which the iOS version you are using on the device was not supported by the Xcode.
All I did was to update my Xcode and make a new build and shared the build. After that we were able to install that build over device Hope it works for you as well
This is how I solved for myself.
In you iPhone Settings > General > VPN & Device Management you should see your company name (if an app from it is installed), and if you click on it, you will see a button like "Verify" above the list of apps installed provided by the company. Just click on "Verify".
I recently updated my organisation developer program so I can use it one more year, but now my apps seem to be impossible to install, I got this famous error :
app_name can't be installed at this time
I got this problem on the App Store and for Ad Hoc distribution as well.
My certificates and my provisioning profiles are fine.
Did someone have the same issue recently ?
What could it be ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !
I believe you may have changed your app build settings and are likely not building with the enterprise distribution profile. That error usually means you are building with a regular development provisioning profile and the device's UDID is not in the list.
Verify your app's build settings are set to build using the Enterprise Distribution Profile.
If you do not believe that to be the case, post the Console logs from the device during an install attempt to find the actual error.
I finally found where the problem came from and it is a bit stupid. Actually, someone in my team recently changed our certificate on the Apple member center but didn't add this certificate to our build server.
After adding the certificate to the build server, everything worked as expected.
I am developing mobile application for iPad using Flex/Air.
While I am debugging the application using the Flash Builder Emulator, everything seems to be alright. However when I export a release, using a developer certificate and exporting it as "Ad hoc package for limited distribution" and try to install the release on a device which is registered to use this app, the installer returns error: " cannot be installed".
I was searching for an answer for 3 days, but I couldn't find the problem.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
Ivan
There could be many reasons, probably down to the Apple certificates or provisioning profiles.
Try exporting using your Apple Distribution certificate rather than your Developer certificate.
If that doesn't work I would suggest deleting/revoking all certificates and profiles and start from scratch. Nowadays this should take less that 30 minutes to complete.
Ivan.
Have you tried building it for Android and installing it on a device? It might be that there is a problem with the installation. At least this will show you if the problem is the installation.
I have a problem installing my app using iTunes on windows. On mac works fine but on windows the installation goes almost by the end and then an error appears "Failed to install".
I am using the same provisioning profile on the device as the one that I am using to build the project.
Does anybody know why is this happening?
Device used: iPad 2 - OS 6.0
Any information would be appreciated, thank you!
I had similar problems when deploying my app to testers. Sometimes, the installation over iTunes just fails even though both the .ipa and provisioning profiles are made correctly.
So we decided to switch to over-the-air deployment with Testflight and everything worked fine. Its easy to set up, free and it solves a lot of headaches for iOS testing.
Check the console log while doing the install - usually it shows much more details on these occasions.
If you are using right provisioning profile and want to install ad-hoc build from windows, apple provides iPhone configuration utility that will enable you to install it on the desired device here is the download link
