Answer 1

Xcode to 7.3

I encountered the same problem after upgrading from 7.2 to 7.3. In my case the fault was a hyphenated domain and AppID which worked in the past but stopped working in XCode 7.3. I replaced the hyphen with a space in AppID (in Membercenter) and it worked again.

Answer 2

I had to delete the app id from the developer console and let XCode re-create the app id for me.

Answer 3

Version 7.3 (7D175)

The Application ID Name should be same as application bundle identifier, if you application bundle identifier is com.abc.xyz than the application ID name for this bundle ID should be XC com abc xyz

A name in any other format won't be seen by Xcode.

If your application is already on app store and you are submitting update than just change the app ID name accourding to above formate and it will work

Answer 4

Update xCode - these issues normally trigger a thought in my head to update. Normally fixes provisioning issue. Worked for me.

Answer 5

I found the solution from Apple developer forums.

Apple has just updated their Dev Center CGU. It seems that the app extension bundleId is stricter.

if your app bundleId format is : com.my.app

your app extension bundleId now have to be : com.my.app.XXX

Creating new appID and provisioning profile fix the issue.
