App ID with identifier not available when turning on remote notification - ios

I have an app which I've just submitted to the app store. In the developer portal it has push notification checked, however it's not yet configured.
I want to add Push notification capability to this app. I try to turn on Push in XCode Capability tab. There was a issue and I press fix issue, it said the ID is not available, though it it the ID for the app already available in the app store.
Also under the General tab:
Now what do I do to fix it? Despite having read "iOS Code Signing: Under The Hood" from Ray Wenderlich I'm still having a headache.
EDIT:
OK the accepted answer wasn't really it. I finally found the correct answer to this question from JRRevuelta's post in the Apple forum:
Go to your Apple Developer "Certificates, Ids, Profiles", and under
your App IDs list find the App ID in question and, If your App ID is
in the form: com.myDomain.MyApp Then the name in your App ID record
has to be: "XC com myDomain MyApp" Don't ask me why, but it works.
(is the default name that XCode assigns when you create the record
from XCode), but for records that exist prior or that you created
directly in the Developer site, the name should be whatever you
want... but its not. Some glitch introduced in one of the latest XCode
releases.
Apparently this problem only surface in recent Xcode.

Check the following steps it may solve your problem:
manually removed INVALID iOS Team Provision Profile Managed by Xcode from Developer Portal
manually created iOS Developer Provision profile
Downloaded it via Xcode
For more information you can check: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36175175/4557505 answer, this answers the same issue which you are having

I think you need to create the SSL certificates and set up a provisioning profile matching your needs. Assuming you already have an development provisioning profile for your app-id you just need to add the SSL certificate for development. When done testing add the certificate for production.

Xcode Signing - Failed to create provisioning

Here's the story:
I created a free developer account to build an app for a client.
I used this info for the Identity and Signing:
It came time to upload the app to TestFlight and to use the client's developer account.
I created the account in xcode using their apple id and updated the signing like so:
But now I got this error.
It was clear, so I updated the Bundle Identifier to this:
But again, now I am getting a different error, and I don't know what to do.
I do not have an iOS device to register, nor do I care to get one, since I'm not doing the testing - they are.
I did create an app in the App Store Connect, and it is set up like so:
As you can see I created it to match the Bundle ID from before and still no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I just want to be able to get my Xcode project onto TestFlight using someone else's developer account (with their consent of course).
It needs to have at least one iOS device registered in order to create the development profile. Ask your client for the UDID of one of their devices and add that manually to the developer portal. If they don't have one handy, feel free to use: f978c5f2e861f71b340125a4fa8d130a6254a0b3 which will work.
Alternatively, switch to manual signing and do everything manually. That's my preferred method, but some say Xcode is finally good at managing profiles etc for you.
The only way to do this without a device is to turn off "Automatically manage signing" and manage everything at the Member Center.
You will need the distribution identity / certificate first. If the team already has one, you will need them to export it to you; otherwise you cannot upload.
Then register the app.
Then make a development certificate, and a distribution certificate for the app store, and download and install them.
Now you can archive and then export to the app store.

Xcode does not automatically create app id on developer portal

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/.

Issues changing from wildcard to explicit app ID

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.

iOS & XCode5 App publishing fails - Error ITMS-9000: "The binary you tried to upload was invalid"

I was already looking through some other threads here with the ITMS-Error 9000, but they didn't help me to get my App passing the submission to the App Store.
I have NO errors or warnings inside XCode.
The App is perfectly working on iOS Devices & Simulators.
EDIT: What I have already tried:
Changed Deployment Target from iOS 7.1 to 7.0
Checked the Bundle ID in iTunesConnect and inside Xcode
Checked for any errors and warnings --- removed / fixed them
Do you have any additional ideas what it could be? Without any errors or further information it is hard to find out what the reason is.
UPDATE2::
If I try "just" to "Validate" instead of "Distribute" in the organizer after Archiviing it i get the following Error
Its an Issue with Apple's Server I tried validating the app it said "Unable to process app at this time due to general error" a quick search about it on SO said its got nothing to do with our code or project but some process running at Apples server
Assuming that your binary icons does not meet as per apple's human interface guidelines.
It most probably seems to be the issue with the profile you are signing your app with. You got to make sure that your are signing the app rightly with proper distribution profile. Also check out for the bundle identifier and make sure that it is same as the one you have given in itunes connect.
Check this link!
You should be creating the binary with the simulator or some device connected.
Try it:
Unconnect iOS device from your Mac,
Dont select any simulator, just leave it as it is, iOS device option
Archive it
Publish it
Make sure you're using a provisioning profile for the App Store (not for Ad Hoc distribution)
Then select this profile when building your app.
I would guess this all has something to do with Apple making system changes to prepare for iOS 8 and in doing so somethings got broken.
The issues look to have just been resolved by Apple. I just successfully submitted an app that was previous showing the same problem you had. If you look at your Provisioning Profiles, you should notice that Apple has removed your app's previous Distribution Profiles.
To get your submission working again, all you have to do is recreate your App Store and Ad Hoc provisioning profile, but make sure to use a new name and you should be good to go. You were not alone on this one. A bunch of people experienced the same problem and there were a lot of posts about it on the official Apple Dev forums.
Please check the Distribution Profile that you are signing your app with at iTunes Connects. make sure that it is still valid. I had same issue couple days back and after a struggle , i found out that somehow my provisioning profile was not valid anymore. Creating a new profile and submitting app with it solved my issue.
Apple have deleted corrupted provisionning, you just have to regenerate it and make submission works again !
Connect to your iOS Developer
Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
Provisioning Profiles / Distribution
Here you can see some certificates missing. You have to re-create (Distribution / AdHoc). Note, you have to change certificates name !
In Xcode, refresh your certificates, set the right one in Build Settings, and submit...
I called today the Apple Developer Support and i get one very very simple answear to this issue.
You have to create all your certificates, provisioning profiles etc with Apples SAFARI browser.
It is not working "always" proper with Mozilla Firefox or other Browsers. So if you get such an error, try to recreate it with Safari! It worked like a charm!

No matching code signing identity found. Deploying to ios device for the first time

Cant manage to run my app on my device.
Ive registered my apple ID yesterday to the developer program, also used my device in the "Organizer" for developing.
In my main project General settings im trying to change the "Team" - It wont find my account.
When im pushing the "Fix issue" button it also reacts like i dont have a registerd developing account.
When i push the Add.. i can see that my developer apple id is already in the accounts:
As you can see my Apple ID is already signed.
You need to create a provisioning profile
