Problems registering AppID on the Apple Developer Site

Dave
 

Hi,

I need to registers 6 Apps on the Apple Developer Site.

I’ve done 3 ok, there are LTWiPhoneAppX, LTWiPadAppX and LTWMacAppX these 3 all use GameKit and In-App Purchase and they are enabled ok.

The other 3, LTWiPhoneAppY, LTWiPadAppY, and LTWMacAppY do not use GameKit or Purchase, but when I come to create one of them, it won’t let me un-check these options on the Apple Developer Site. I created the App ID anyway and then tried to edit it, but again it won’t let me?

Why is this and how can I disable these options?

All the Best
Dave

Yes, Apple won’t let you. Yay, Apple!

As long as they are not enabled in the Capabilities part of your project settings, you should be OK.

I have felt your pain many many times, good sir. You are not alone at being baffled as to why this is done.

Every where look there are glitches and bugs! What a total nightmare - thanks for letting me know, I thought I was going crazy!

Cheers

Whenever you find what you believe to be a bug in Apple's software or web site, write a bug report about it. You might have experienced an edge case no one has yet tested.

If I did that, I be spending 50%+ of my time filling in bug reports!

I can’t see this is an “edge” case, you create an AppID and set some capabilities, you create another one and it has the same capabilities as the first App and you can’t change them.

Amazing isn't it? You'd think that once they'd gotten past their first billion lines of code they'd have learned to straighten things out.

Those capabilities don't require permission sealed into the provisioning profile. Doesn't matter why they don't, it's how it works. You can't turn them off because there's nothing to turn off.

GameKit and IAP are cloud services. People notice they have to claim all the other cloud services; maybe they panicked over not being able to turn those on. Maybe Apple made an A/B test and found that "don't worry about those boxes" is easier to explain to the few who ask  than "we're sorry you're frantic after spending an entire workday looking for a way to turn them on."

Also, the capabilities Dave mentioned *used to be* opt-in — for the App ID on the web site, either instead of or as well as in Xcode. Now they’re effectively always on (and/or managed within Xcode), but the web site seems to want to assert that they’re on for historical consistency (for people who are used to web site UI, I guess).
