`list-bundle-ids` says that a Bundle ID is only iOS but should be universal

[nilsreichardt]

When I execute the following command:

app-store-connect list-bundle-ids \
  --bundle-id-identifier de.codingbrain.sharezone.app \
  --strict-match-identifier

I'm getting this result:

Found 1 Bundle ID matching specified filters: identifier=de.codingbrain.sharezone.app.
-- Bundle ID --
Id: 999P7P39D8
Type: bundleIds
Identifier: de.codingbrain.sharezone.app
Name: Sharezone
Platform: IOS
Seed id: AJ3PMPVZ7H

It says that the Platform is IOS. However, the Platform should be universal.

This is a screenshot from the Developer Console which shows for Platform "iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS".

Is this an issue in the CLI or in our App Store configurations? This should be reason why we can't build macOS build with Codemagic because the signing fails.

@nilsreichardt, thanks for the report. I'll try to look into it next week.

@nilsreichardt, apparently Apple Developer Portal web interface does not differentiate universal bundle identifiers from platform specific ones.

Check these two examples. The bundle id depicted on first two screenshots was created many years ago explicitly for iOS platform. Web interface reflects that it can be used with all platforms now.

But API response still returns iOS specific platform type:

For a more recent bundle identifier that was originally created with universal platform, the web interface shows exactly the same platform info as for the former bundle id.

But it has a different value in API response for attributes.platform.

Given that, I'd say that actually everything works in an expected manner. However, it might be worth checking if oldschool platform-specific bundle identifiers can now be used as universal, ie can I use iOS bundle id to sign macOS app or vice versa?

Thanks for your help @priitlatt ❤️

Good idea! This seems to work 💯

What works for me:

app-store-connect fetch-signing-files $BUNDLE_ID \
  --platform IOS \
  --type MAC_APP_STORE \
  --create \
  --strict-match-identifier

It's important to use --strict-match-identifier so that the tools creates a new profile (otherwise it tries to use the one from our dev environment). Also MAC_APP_DEVELOPMENT has not worked for me, it need to be MAC_APP_STORE.
