com.apple.developer.associated-domains issue when validating iOS app


I had a similar problem with Xcode 5.1.1, and couldn't solve it using any of the solutions I found online. However, this worked for me:

  1. Under 'Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles' in the Developer Member Center, choose your App ID under 'Identifiers', 'App IDs' in the left hand column.

  2. Choose 'Edit' and then disable 'Associated Domains.'

App Identifiers

Disable 'Associated Domains.'


Finally, I find that associated domains is only available in Xcode6 under Capabilities tab. It seems that the validator is not happy if I leave this section empty. After adding an item of my domain to that section, I managed to pass the validation process..See this link for more info about associated domains.

I am using Xcode 6 GM.

Thanks for the suggestion of @Sabo. I added a screenshot of my associated-domains setting. You probably need just click on the plus button and replace "example.com" with yours.

I had the same issue.

Here is the resolution for anyone else having this problem.

  • Log into iOS Dev Center and go to Certificates, Identifiers &Profiles.

  • Go to Identifiers/App IDs.

  • Choose the appropriate ID for your app.

  • Click on the Edit button at the bottom.

  • Uncheck Associated Domains and click Done.

You will have to regenerate any provisioning files associated with this ID.

I had never selected this for the app last time I submitted my app to the app store.

I am guessing that the update to iOS/Dev Center may have added it.

But I am not exactly sure. All I know is that I am now able to validate my package and submit to the app store.
