The bug

DeveloperServicesAssignAppGroupsOperation sends one assignApplicationGroupToAppId request per app group, concurrently. That endpoint replaces the App ID's groups with the ones in the request, so an app whose entitlements list two or more groups ends up with only one of them on the App ID: whichever request Apple handles last. The provisioning profile then carries one group while the signed binary claims two, and the device refuses the install with ApplicationVerificationFailed.

Setting the groups by hand in the developer portal does not help, because the next xtool dev build --sign sends the per-group requests again.

The fix

  • DeveloperServicesAssignAppGroupRequest takes groupIDs: [DeveloperServicesAppGroup.ID] and sends applicationGroups as an array. The endpoint accepts an array; it was being given a single string before.
  • DeveloperServicesAssignAppGroupsOperation.perform() still finds or creates each group concurrently, then sends a single assign request carrying every group ID, and returns the group IDs in the order the entitlements listed them, so the rewritten entitlement is stable between builds.

The only caller, DeveloperServicesAddAppOperation, is unchanged.

Related

#324 would report the resulting mismatch between the entitlements and the profile as a clear error at signing time; this change removes the cause, so an app with several groups gets a profile that grants all of them.

Checked

Built on Linux with the Swift 6.4 toolchain and used to sign an iOS app whose main target has two app groups and a Share extension. The app's embedded.mobileprovision now carries both groups and the device installs the app. The same app signed with the unpatched build got one group in the profile and ApplicationVerificationFailed on install.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Apps can now be assigned multiple app groups in a single operation. The assignment replaces the app’s existing group associations with the selected groups, so groups not included in the new assignment are no longer associated with the app. This makes it possible to set an app’s complete group configuration at once rather than assigning groups individually.

… request

assignApplicationGroupToAppId replaces the App ID's groups with the ones in the request, and
DeveloperServicesAssignAppGroupsOperation sent one request per group, concurrently. An app whose
entitlements name two groups therefore ended with one group in its profile (whichever request
Apple handled last), and the device refused to install it (ApplicationVerificationFailed).

The operation now creates any missing groups as before, then sends a single request carrying
every group ID, and returns the group IDs in the order the entitlements listed them, so the
rewritten entitlement is stable between builds.

Walkthrough

The assignment request now accepts multiple app-group IDs. The operation resolves the requested groups concurrently, assigns them in one request, and returns their IDs. A public asynchronous Sequence.concurrentMap method and tests for its ordering, errors, and cancellation behavior were added.

Changes: App-group assignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multi-group assignment request
Sources/XKit/DeveloperServices/App Groups/DeveloperServicesAssignAppGroupRequest.swift
The request accepts an array of app-group IDs and documents that each assignment replaces the app’s groups.
Concurrent sequence mapping
Sources/XUtils/Stdlib+Utils.swift, Tests/XToolTests/ConcurrentMapTests.swift
Sequence.concurrentMap limits concurrent transforms and returns results in input order. Tests cover empty and single-pass sequences, optional values, typed errors, scheduling, actor isolation, and cancellation.
Group collection and assignment
Sources/XKit/DeveloperServices/App Groups/DeveloperServicesAssignAppGroupsOperation.swift
The operation retrieves existing or newly created groups concurrently, sends one assignment request with their IDs, and returns the IDs.

The multi-group assignment preserves entitlement order and submits all resolved groups together. Cancellation can still start queued work beyond the concurrency window, but no resulting server-side mutation is established. This is a bounded concern suitable for owner awareness or follow-up.

Follow-up Comments

Minor follow-up Stop starting queued elements after the parent task is cancelled.

35-35: Minor · Performance & Scalability · Poor tradeoff

Stop starting queued elements after the parent task is cancelled.

The refill loop in concurrentMap calls group.addTask for each queued element after group.next() returns. The loop does not check for cancellation. If the parent task is cancelled while elements are still queued, those elements still start. A child task added to a cancelled group starts in the cancelled state, but its transform body still runs. Here the body is getOrCreateAppGroup, which awaits fetchAnisetteData() before it sends a request. Existing groups return before any request, so they do no work beyond the lookup.

Before this change, perform() started every group task at call time. With more than maxConcurrency (default 10) groups, a cancellation that arrives mid-map now starts extra transform bodies after the cancellation.

Stopping submission requires a decision about the cancelled result first. throws(E) cannot carry CancellationError unless E is that type. Returning partial results conflicts with the [T] return type. Choose the cancelled-result contract, then gate submission with addTaskUnlessCancelled or a cancellation check. No safe localized edit is available until that choice is made.

Update the concurrentMap refill loop to stop submitting queued elements after
parent cancellation, using a cancellation-aware task-group submission or
cancellation check. Preserve the existing [T] and throws(E) contract when
elements remain unsubmitted; do not introduce CancellationError unless E
supports it.
Nitpick Add a parent-cancellation test with several inputs and a small maxConcurrency.

35-35: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Add a parent-cancellation test with several inputs and a small maxConcurrency.

parentCancellationReachesTransforms maps a single element, and its transform throws. The error path returns before the window could refill, and no second input exists to schedule. A change to how the window refills after parent cancellation would not change this test's result. No test cancels the parent while queued inputs remain and the transforms return normally.

Add a case that:

  • maps several inputs with a small maxConcurrency, such as 4 inputs with a limit of 2;
  • cancels the parent task after the first transforms start;
  • returns normally from each transform, so the call returns an array and does not throw;
  • asserts the returned values and the inputs that start.

Decide the intended cancellation behavior before writing the assertion on started inputs. The current loop schedules remaining inputs without checking cancellation, so the expected set should match the behavior you want to guarantee.

Review comment at @Sources/XUtils/Stdlib+Utils.swift at line 35:
Add a parent-cancellation test alongside parentCancellationReachesTransforms
using several inputs and a small maxConcurrency; cancel the parent after
transforms start, have transforms return normally, and assert the returned
values and started inputs. Decide and encode the intended behavior for queued
inputs after cancellation, since the current refill loop schedules them without
checking cancellation.
Nitpick Add a test for the default maxConcurrency bound.

90-91: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a test for the default maxConcurrency bound.

Every concurrency-limit test passes maxConcurrency explicitly. Calls that omit it map at most ten elements and do not check how many transforms run at once. Changing the default to Int.max would leave the suite passing.

Add a test that calls concurrentMap without maxConcurrency on an input with more elements than the default allows. Track the peak number of transforms in flight, and assert that the peak is less than the element count. This does not fix the default at ten. It fails only when the default lets every element run at once.

Add a test alongside limitsConcurrentTransforms that calls concurrentMap without
specifying maxConcurrency on an input larger than the default bound. Track the
peak number of transforms in flight and assert it is less than the number of
input elements, without asserting a specific default limit.
