How do I delete old App IDs?
How do you make the iOS Team Provisioning Profile select a specific App ID?
Additional: Can anyone explain you need to code sign 4 times with the selected profile when Distributing for Ad-Hoc Deployment?
As far as I'm aware, there is currently no way to delete App ID's.
I use Simon Whitaker's plug-in for Chrome, which allows you to have a little more control over your App IDs and how they appear.
It might be worth checking out:

-EDIT-
Just realised it works with Safari too.

Regarding your follow up, in the provisioning portal, after choosing to create a new App ID, you can select the App ID you want from a list:
Once you've completed it and downloaded it, drop it into the Xcode organiser and then select it from the Code signing section of the Build Settings of your Xcode project:

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 unable to add a new device in the Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles section of the Apple Developer portal.
I have two developer accounts, one personal account and one account for a company. The account for the company, I am set as a 'member' for the team. This is the account that I am unable to add a new device for. (I am also not able to download the Distribution certificate, which I believe is a related issue that I need resolved too).
I have researched the other similar questions on SO, but neither of them applied to my scenario.
Here is a picture showing the + button disabled (greyed out)
From Apple documentation:
Team members can’t register devices and create development
provisioning profiles using their developer account.
Ask from someone who has Team admin or Team agent privileges to add you.
I figured it out. Team Members are unable to add a new device via the Developer Portal. However, they are allowed to add a new device to the provisioning file via XCode. I was working with Xamarin and didn't know that I needed to go back to XCode in order to add a new device to the provisioning file.
If you're working in Xamarin and experience this problem, you need to create a 'dummy app' in XCode with the same info as your Xamarin app. Then select your team and it should generate the correct provisioning file for you. After that, build and run your app on your device, then a pop up window should display telling you that the device is not in the provisioning file, then asks if you would like to add it. A simple click of 'Yes' will automatically add the device to the provisioning file which is then reflected on the Developer Account.
Hope that helps someone else! I spent many hours trying to figure this out.
I have recently added one account to my Apple ID.so,now I have two accounts linked to one apple ID. I am able to add apps through my previous account.But now,I am trying to register app through the recently added account, it shows me you have no eligible Bundle IDs for iOS apps error even if I have valid bundle id and provisional profile.
I am stuck with this issue and not able to resolve.
Any help is appreciated to resolve my issue at earliest possible.
1) Check bundle id, is it match with your certificate and profile.
2) Add proper account in Xcode->Preferences->Account.
3) After that download proper certificate and profile by clicking on ViewDetails.
4) If you have multiple account/team then select proper team while creating build from Info section in Xcode.
5) Select certificate and profile from build settings.
Here is the images for the same.
On the general screen for your project you can select the team. Do you have the correct team selected? Also, have you created the bundle ID on the Apple developer site using your new account?
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 want to know the basic steps for uploading my iPhone application to AppStore.
How do I make a provisioning profile using a certificate and what other settings do I need to do to upload an application?
I have just made an application on my iMac using Xcode and the iPhone SDK V2.2.1. What do I need to do for uploading it on the Apple iTunes store?
I am member of that and I have also a distribution certificate.
This arstechnica article describes the basic steps:
Start by visiting the program portal
and make sure that your developer
certificate is up to date. It expires
every six months and, if you haven't
requested that a new one be issued,
you cannot submit software to App
Store. For most people experiencing
the "pink upload of doom," though,
their certificates are already valid.
What next?
Open your Xcode project and check that
you've set the active SDK to one of
the device choices, like Device - 2.2.
Accidentally leaving the build
settings to Simulator can be a big
reason for the pink rejection. And
that happens more often than many
developers would care to admit.
Next, make sure that you've chosen a
build configuration that uses your
distribution (not your developer)
certificate. Check this by
double-clicking on your target in the
Groups & Files column on the left of
the project window. The Target Info
window will open. Click the Build tab
and review your Code Signing Identity.
It should be iPhone Distribution:
followed by your name or company name.
You may also want to confirm your
application identifier in the
Properties tab. Most likely, you'll
have set the identifier properly when
debugging with your developer
certificate, but it never hurts to
check.
The top-left of your project window
also confirms your settings and
configuration. It should read
something like "Device - 2.2 |
Distribution". This shows you the
active SDK and configuration.
If your settings are correct but you
still aren't getting that upload
finished properly, clean your builds.
Choose Build > Clean (Command-Shift-K)
and click Clean. Alternatively, you
can manually trash the build folder in
your Project from Finder. Once you've
cleaned, build again fresh.
If this does not produce an app that
when zipped properly loads to iTunes
Connect, quit and relaunch Xcode. I'm
not kidding. This one simple trick
solves more signing problems and "pink
rejections of doom" than any other
solution already mentioned.
Apple provides detailed, illustrated instructions covering every step of the process. Log in to the iPhone developer site and click the "program portal" link. In the program portal you'll find a link to the program portal user's guide, which is a really good reference and guide on this topic.
Check that your singing identity IN YOUR TARGET properties is correct. This one over-rides what you have in your project properties.
Also: I dunno if this is true - but I wasn't getting emails detailing my binary rejections when I did the "ready for binary upload" from a PC - but I DID get an email when I did this on the MAC

If this is your first time to submit an app, I recommend going ahead and reading through the full Apple iTunes Connect documentation or reading one of the following tutorials:
How to Submit an iOS App to the App Store
How to Submit An App to Apple: From No Account to App Store
However, those materials are cumbersome when you just want a quick reminder of the steps. My answer to that is below:
Step 1: Create a new app in iTunes Connect
Sign in to iTunes Connect and go to My Apps. Then click the "+" button and choose New App.
Then fill out the basic information for a new app. The app bundle id needs to be the same as the one you are using in your Xcode project. There is probably a better was to name the SKU, but I've never needed it and I just use the bundle id.
Click Create and then go on to Step 2.
Step 2: Archive your app in Xcode
Choose the Generic iOS Device from the active scheme menu.
Then go to Product > Archive.
You may have to wait a little while for Xcode to finish archiving your project. After that you will be shown a dialog with your archived project. You can select Upload to the App Store... and follow the prompts.
I sometimes have to repeat this step a few times because I forgot to include something. Besides the upload wait, it isn't a big deal. Just keep doing it until you don't get any more errors.
Step 3: Finish filling out the iTunes Connect info
Back in iTunes Connect you will need to complete all the required information and resources.
Just go through all the menu options and make sure that you have everything entered that needs to be.
Step 4: Submit
In iTunes Connect, under your app's Prepare for Submission section, click Submit for Review. That's it. Give it about a week to be accepted (or rejected), but it might be faster.
