iCloud and correct provisioning profile usage

[padsoftware]

Here is the thread for a problem I've been having:

I've enabled iCloud for my AppID. Then, I've created 3 certificates, listed as:

- Mac App
- Mac Installer
- Development

in the Developer Certificate Utility.

I downloaded and installed the certificates in my keychain:

- 3rd Party Mac Developer Application (Mac App)
- 3rd Party Mac Developer Installer (Mac Installer)
- Mac Developer (Development)

Then, I've created 2 provisioning profiles:

- Development
I selected the App ID, the previously created development certificate and the Systems.

- Production
I can only select the App ID and the Mac Application Distribution Signing Certificate.

I installed the development profile in the Profiles Pref Pane successfully. If I am trying to install the production profile in the Profiles Pref Pane, I am getting an "Unknown Error" dialog. Is this correct? This profile can't be installed?

I added both profiles to the Xcode Organizer and selected "Mac Developer" from the development profile for debugging and "3rd Party Mac Developer Application" from the production profile for the release version.

Now, I can launch the app in Xcode and it works as expected (with iCloud enabled). If I am archiving the release version and launch the app in the Finder, I am getting:

taskgated: killed ... because its use of the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers entitlement is not allowed

Is the production profile supposed to be used only for submitting to the MAS? Did I something wrong?

If you look at the Production Profile in the Xcode Organizer it says you can't install it on devices - which I guess is why it won't install in the Profiles Pane in the Settings app. I only figured this out this morning - that error message isn't exactly helpful.

Maybe I'm wrong but it's looking horribly like you currently can't ship iCloud apps outside of MAS. It looks like we'll have to treat the dev profile like the iOS adhoc profiles for testing.

Were any of you able to sign it with production profiles?

Does anyone know if a mac app should run on my development machine when using a Production Profile with iCloud enabled? Or does it need to be submitted to the Mac App Store ?
When I build and sign with the production profile I get no errors, but I get the "app was killed because I did not have permission to use the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers" when launching.

I requested technical support from Apple, I'll let you know what they say.
But my guess is that to do Beta Testing, you should add each mac system in your mac provisioning section and tell each beta user to add the provisionging profile to their system by double clicking.

I'm betting that the production profile only works by sending the app to the Mac App Store.

If I can't run the app, there is no way I will upload it to Apple.

Strange, but I can't compile any other Mac app right now, iCloud or no iCloud. I've evern tried on a diffrent computer, and it doesn't work!

Wow, you can't compile or cant run the app? Can you compile without signing?

Well I guess I can compile it, but I get this error (it changes slightly with each app):

error: failed to launch '/Users/padsoftware/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Scrawl-heofvoywsunchdhjowxkvkoiqvan/Build/Products/Release/Scrawl.app/Contents/MacOS/Scrawl'

It's odd: I don't have sandboxing, iCloud, or entitlements for this app. On the ones I do i get the same error. I have already reinstalled Xcode 4.2.1 and OS X Lion 10.7.2.

Without code signing I get the same error. This is really annoying me. Contacting Apple won't help, because they are way to slow

This also happened to me when I did not added the mac uuids to the mac provisioning portal, does your provisioning profile installs in your system preferences on Lion?
But since it blows when you are not code signing it, it should not matter

If you open Console.app from utilities do you get any extra info when launching?

The problem was I was missing the private+public keys associated with the development certificate... I also, couldn't import the ones I was using into keychain for some reason.
I generated the CSR (which builds public/private keys and adds them to keychain) and created a new certificate/provisioning profile and updating my build settings to point to new stuff.
Somebody said this fixed it for them. I'll try it and let you know if it works.

OK, here are the results:
Development Profile code sign: success.
Production Profile code sign: failed. Error in console:"12/17/11 4:22:50.184 PM taskgated: killed com.allendunahoo.Scrawl[pid 5772] because its use of the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers entitlement is not allowed"

I don't get it: the Development Profile has this included in the title: 8W27B5T8XC. However, the Production Profile does not have that. I suspect that is part of the problem. Now, does anyone have any ideas on hw to fix this huge and ugly problem?

P.S. I need the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers becuase this app uses iCloud.

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>">

Any help would be most welcome! Thanks in advance!
