Missing Push Notification Entitlement

Question

I have an app for submission when it got rejected and I got the message     Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to register   with the Apple Push Notification service  but the app signature s   entitlements do not include the  aps-environment  entitlement  If your   app uses the Apple Push Notification service  make sure your App ID is   enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal  and resubmit   after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning profile that   includes the  aps-environment  entitlement    I checked my ad-hoc provisiong and there I found aps-environment and production however  when I open up my distribution provisioning  I don t find such   Is this the cause of this error message and apple rejection  how can I fix it

There are some really good suggestions on here.

Referring to the last screenshot that Mina provided, after initially archiving my app, the provisioning profile mentioned during uploading contained a wildcard (XC.*). This is wrong.

It took some considerable effort in order to resolve this. I had to perform a combination of the suggestions that Simon Woodside & Mina Fawzy provided.

If you have any existing certificates and provisioning profiles related to your project, now would be a good time to remove them all locally, and revoke them all remotely. Give yourself a fresh start.

Mina Fawzy's detailed suggestion is excellent. Performing Mina's suggestion, if performed correctly, should take care of you online.

Enter Simon's suggestion. Two things I needed to check inside my project. Using XCode, go here:

PROJECT -> BUILD SETTINGS -> CODE SIGNING

Review the Code Signing Identity and Provisioning Profile properties. Make sure you set those two properties to that of your project name. Don't allow XCode to automatically select for you, and don't use some generic code signing identity (e.g. Iphone Developer).

Make sure you can actually install the app onto your devices before deciding to archive.

I got this message for a different reason -- I submitted an app via Xcode without first creating an App Store Distribution Profile specifically for the app  I believe Xcode automatically uses a wildcard App Store profile if you have one installed  But an app uses Push Notifications requires its own profile   The fix is to create a new App Store Distribution profile for the app  Then you download it  drag it onto Xcode  and modify your project Build Settings   Code Signing   Release to use the new profile

I was also facing this issue even I was not using push notifications at all in my app Making new provisioning profile also did not work for me What I did was -  1 Create fresh new certificate for Ad hoc  amp  App Store only   2 Then make distribution profile with this certificate and integrate profile with Xcode   Then newly submitted build with this profile approved without any warning

I had the same problem and my solution was to add the push notification entitlement from Target -  Capabilities

This was what fixed it for me   I had already tried toggling the capabilities on off  recreating the provisioning profile  etc    In the Build Settings tab  in Code Signing Entitlements  my  entitlements file wasn t link for all sections  Once I added it to the Any SDK section  the error was resolved

First App ID   make sure your ID push notification enable in production side   as appear in picture        Second Certificate    from production section create two certificate with your id  push notification enabled   App Store and Ad Hoc certificate  Apple Push Notification service SSL  Sandbox  certificate        Third Provisioning Profiles    From Distribution section  create App Store profile with your id      Finally   while you upload your bin   you must check what provisioning profile used and have many entitlements      this all cases cause this problem hope this be helpful with you

The biggest problem that i have after enabling the Push Notification from Capabilities and remaking all the certificates is that the Target name and the folder name where was stored the project was composed from 2 strings separated by space  After removing the space all worked just fine

This happened to me suddenly because my app s distribution profile had expired  Xcode began using the wildcard profile instead  which did not have the push notification entitlement enabled  I didn t receive any warning  The fix was easy  I just had to generate another distribution profile for my app in the Apple Developer Member Center  download it  and double-click to install in Xcode

I had this problem because my entitlements file was malformed due to previous manual editing  I removed the wrongly formatted entitlement entry syntax and then i could click  fix  in the capabilities tab and Xcode added the entitlement to my file   Here is an example of a properly formatted entitlements file   Runner entitlements      lt  DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC  -  Apple  DTD PLIST 1 0  EN   http   www apple com DTDs PropertyList-1 0 dtd  gt   lt plist version  1 0  gt   lt dict gt       lt key gt aps-environment lt  key gt       lt string gt development lt  string gt       lt key gt com apple developer applesignin lt  key gt       lt array gt           lt string gt Default lt  string gt       lt  array gt   lt  dict gt   lt  plist gt

In my case  even I created a myapp profile and set it in xcode manually  and when I chose  show in finder  and located the embedded mobileprovision and checked to make sure aps-environment is there in the file  the error was still there   I then went to developer center and found that the status of XC  myapp profile is invalid  I updated it and installed the XC  myapp profile and it worked fine   I think xcode is trying to manage the profile and you need to check the provisioning profile when you submit your binary to store  and ensure it is the correct one  And according to other answers it can be caused for various reasons so it can be really annoying   UPDATE   Once you ve signed with the downloaded profile and confirmed that aps-environment was there when you try to submit to App Store  you should be able to change the profile and code signing entity to automatic and iOS Developer  Hope it can be improved in Xcode 7

For those running into this issue who actually are using Push Notifications in their apps   Our push certs were recently about to expire  so we created new dev   prod push certs in the standard way outlined by Apple  I won t go into detail around this here  there is plenty of info on it all over the web when updating your push certs for another year of use    After doing so however  the issue in this question popped up  No matter what we did  we received this email from Apple after submitting our app  When we checked the settings of our Distribution Provisioning Profile in the Apple Member Center  everything looked fine  Push was enabled for our App ID for both prod   dev  and our distribution provisioning profile was still connected to this App ID  we literally just created new push certs for another year as is the standard practice    Finally  this is what ended up solving it for me    Create a new Distribution Provisioning Profile pointing to your App ID  leave your current one in tact  In Xcode  refresh your provisioning profiles via Settings   Accounts   Select your account   Details   Click the refresh icon Manually create an entitlements plist file for your app    File menu   New File    Select iOS   Resource   Property List Name the new file  foo entitlements   typically   foo  is the target name  Click the     next to  Entitlements File  to add a top-level item  the property list editor will use the correct schema due to the file extension   Ensure this entitlements file is being used in your target s Build Settings  Target   Build Settings   Search for  Entitlements   in the CODE SIGN ENTITLEMENTS set the path to your Entitlements file you just made  Make sure the provisioning profile   code signing identity in your Target is set correctly to your appropriate distribution provisioning profile   signing identity  this should be obvious  I m not 100  sure if this affected it  it shouldn t since Target settings override project settings  but I did this anyways   make sure your Project s provisioning profile   signing identity match your Target s In the entitlements file you made  right click in the empty file and select  Show Raw Keys Values  Add a new entry to the entitlements file called  aps-environment  and set it s value to  production  One key note  if you were previously using the keychain-access-groups entitlement  you ll want to add that key here as well because for some reason it got cleared for me when doing this manually  Make sure the value is the same as the value used in previous builds  you can find the value by finding a previous build in Organizer  attempting to submit to the app store  select your team  then before submitting the app tap the arrow beside the   X  Entitlements  string to expand the entitlements and see the value of the keychain-access-group entitlement  Archive your app and attempt to submit it to the point of getting to the final  Submit  button  You should see this app was now built with the new provisioning profile you created in member center  Cancel out of this now  Go back to the Apple member center and delete the new provisioning profile you created in step 1  Back in Xcode  refresh your provisioning profiles list once again by repeating step 2  Now archive your app again  and you should see that the app was built with the old Distribution provisioning profile you wanted to use  and correctly has the aps-environment entitlement  Submit and you re done    I know this isn t as detailed as it should be as it should have screenshots  I will try to update it with screenshots when I can but for the time being I m in a time crunch right now and wanted to get the jist of what I did out there  There is also a very likely chance that some or most of the steps I ve outlined aren t necessary  I m putting them here because I did them and they may have led to the final solution

Following on from the answer given by  Vaiden  in Xcode 8 you can resolve this issue by selecting the target and clicking the  Fix issue   Of course  you ll still need to set up push notifications in the Apple Developer portal  you can simplify the process a little by using the new  Automatically manage signing  option  which saves you the hassle of downloading the provisioning profiles

User · Answer

Yes  that s the cause of the App Store rejection  If your ad-hoc provisioning profile has the aps-environment key  it means your app is configured correctly in the Apple Provisioning Portal  All you need to do is delete the App Store distribution profile on your local machine  then re-download and install the distribution profile from the Provisioning Portal  This new one should contain the aps-environment key
