Distribution Known Issues β’ The app store has began to enforce all app groups prefixed with 'group!' are registered in a provisioning profile. During distribution, Xcode will fail to sign with the correct profile if you have used this machine to distribute before. This issue still occurs even if you have set the REGISTER_APP_GROUPS build setting, which ensures your project contains the correct app groups. (145875812) Workaround: Before distributing your app validate on developer.apple.com that your app's bundle id has the correct app group assignments. Next, remove related profiles from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/User Data/Provisioning Profiles and SHOME/Library/Mobile Device/Provisioning Profiles. Finally, attempt to upload again and the app store should accept your app.
PSA for Mac Catalyst folks.
The workaround has worked for most of my apps but not Cheatsheet, I think because ASC doesnβt like me having a non-Catalyst Mac app embedded in my Catalyst app. I filed feedback; hope this gets resolved soon. π
