Azure-pipelines-tasks: [InstallAppleProvisioningProfileV1] Not compatible with macOS (OSX) app signing anymore (". provisionprofile")

[jmartarelli]

The extension validation added on this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/pull/12917 removed the capability of signing a MacOS app (Developer ID Application).

MacOS Provisioning Profile extension is ˜.provisionprofile˜.
The ".mobileprovision" is used just for mobile apps...
I cant find another way to sign my macOS app right now using Azure Devops.

.mobileprovision - iOS provisioning profile
.provisionprofile - OSX provisioning profile

Our team faced the same issue. The macOS tasks started to fail after the check is added for mobile app only. May I ask whether it is viable to bring it back soon? And if yes how long it gonna take to make the fix? Thank you so much!

I have the same issue here

This ironically was fixed in 2018, but now un-fixed: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/8387

[mattleibow]

Did my first fix :) Hopefully I don't bring down all the regions of DevOps: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/pull/13074

When will this fix go live?

Our team is also blocked by this. Can we get @jmartarelli 's fix fast-tracked?

There is a workaround for this: Instead of getting the certificate (".provisionprofile") uploaded into azure, put it somewhere inside your source branch and configure the task to look into your source repository... (There is a combo box for this option selection)...
