Hi, I'm trying to integrate with Tap to Pay feature under Stripe. For this reason i need to add com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance entitlement to my Identifier. I can see it under Provisioning Profile -> Enabled Capabilities. But after downloading this profile in Xcode I don't see this entitlement. What could be the reason for this discrapency?

I've requested for family control via: https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/family-controls-distribution & got approved. I've now created new provision files with family control being checked in the identifiers & uploaded manually. Yet, still get: Provisioning profile "redoAppStore" doesn't support the Family Controls capability. Provisioning profile "redoAppStore" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement. The family control capability is added to my main target (IOS app) as well. What should I do to get it uploaded?

I am developing CarPlay addition on our app. Which is distributed with the Enterprise In distribution method, so we do not have a product in the App Store. I am wondering if CarPlay support can be provided in applications distributed with the Enterprise in distribution method? If this is not possible, I will inform management that this is not possible. I am waiting for your answers, thanks.

The documentation for CarPlay (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/requesting_carplay_entitlements) tells you to disable automatic signing in the section titled "Import the CarPlay Provisioning Profile": Click All in the scope bar, and then deselect “Automatically manage signing”. There have also been other posts in the past about the inability to use automatic signing with CarPlay: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/63468 However in a recent post of mine (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/717429?login=true&page=1#732392022) I was instructed how to set it up so that I could use automatic signing for the new user-assigned-device-name entitlement and it worked so I thought "Can I do the same thing for CarPlay?" and it seems to be working so far. Is automatic signing with CarPlay now possible? We have been able to use automatic signing to archive successfully and run to real devices and verify that CarPlay is working. I'm crossing my fingers that we'll be able to submit and get the build approved and never have to touch manual signing again. Hopefully it works and the documentation is just out of date.

I have an app with the "Driving Task" CarPlay entitlement. When I ask for permission for notifications in CarPlay (UNAuthorizationOptionCarPlay), and I check "carPlaySetting" in the UNNotificationSettings after granting permission, it get a value "UNNotificationSettingNotSupported" (the setting is not available to your app). Is this a bug? It feels like one. The app shows distances to some locations, and provides warnings to the user when approaching those locations. It is common for my users to use it at the same time they use a navigation app and switch between the two apps. But when they have the navigation app in foreground, they ask why my app is not showing notifications when giving an audio warning. The notifications are not even shown on the screen of the iPhone, the screen is turned off in iPhone 14 Pro when connecting to CarPlay, and the screen does not turn on when the app is in background in CarPlay and tries to show a notification.

Hello everyone, We noticed that iOS 16 devices no longer have access to user-assigned device name and, after digging in the forums, found out the information to request the entitlement. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_device-information_user-assigned-device-name We've submitted the request back in Oct, received a Case-ID number, but nothing after that... Tried emailing them back in Nov (privacy-entitlement at apple dot com), but never heard back... Has anyone successfully requested and received the entitlement? Any hints/tips on how to get it? Appreciate your help

Hi I have this piece of code in my app that is supposed to open up a file from Music(old iTunes) app and play. But I get 'Attempted to register account monitor for types client is not authorized to access "com.apple.account.iTunesStore". Any suggests how to fix this. What entitlements do I need to set? Code and error logs are below code-block ``` func showiPOD() {           let mediaPicker: MPMediaPickerController = MPMediaPickerController.self(mediaTypes:MPMediaType.anyAudio)     mediaPicker.delegate = self as MPMediaPickerControllerDelegate     mediaPicker.allowsPickingMultipleItems = false     mediaPicker.showsCloudItems = true //show from iCloud as well.. needs to be tested     self.present(mediaPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)   } 2023-01-24 09:31:22.018992-0800 Smart Practice[526:16253] [Entitlements] MSVEntitlementUtilities - Process Smart Practice PID[526] - Group: (null) - Entitlement: com.apple.accounts.appleaccount.fullaccess - Entitled: NO - Error: (null) 2023-01-24 09:31:22.022520-0800 Smart Practice[526:16253] [core] Attempted to register account monitor for types client is not authorized to access: {(   "com.apple.account.iTunesStore" )} ```language code-block

Hi, We need to use silent notifications in our app, even when the user kills the app. We requested Apple to get a NSE Filtering Entitlement on December 02, 2022 with follow-up number: 814879299 But after nearly 2 months, we still haven't got a response. So we also sent a TSI (Technical Support Incident) on January 09, 2023 with follow-up number: 817249684. DTS (Developer Technical Support) said that we need to use this specific entitlement and he has no involvement in the entitlement request process. We need a quick response for the NSE Filtering Entitlement because our business depends on Apple's response. @Apple, is it possible to get an estimation date for the response? @iOS_developers, how long have you been waiting for that permission?

3.5 weeks ago I submitted form https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/family-controls-distribution to get Family Controls entitlement for my app. I still not received any feedback at all...   Contacting Support also doesn't help... Is there any time limits for this request or any average time of waiting for feedback?

Hello, I'm responsible for several apps within my company. We tried to apply for the user-assigned device name entitlement, but again we didn't get the approval: "Thank you for your interest in the user-assigned device name entitlement. We are unable to approve your request at this time." We use in our app the bluetooth connect and want to show the user in the vehicles the device name. Currently it's just "iPhone". Does somebody know how I can contact Apple to fix this? I chose this answers: Will your app display the user assigned device name to the user? No Will your app use the device name solely for functionality in a way that the user can easily see and understand? Yes Will your app functionality support interaction between multiple devices operated by the same user? Yes Will your app share the device name with any service providers or third parties other than a cloud hosting service provider? No Would be great to get any feedback with this. Thanks a lot.

Hello, I am currently facing an issue with my iOS app and its associated Preview extension. I am trying to save a file to a shared container using App Groups, so that my main app can read the file. The code works perfectly on the iOS simulator, but when I run the app on a physical device I encounter a "You don't have permission to save the file" error. Here's the relevant code snippet: let appGroupIdentifier = "group.com.yourcompany.yourapp" func saveDataToSharedContainer(fileName: String, data: Data) -> Bool { guard let containerURL = FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: appGroupIdentifier) else { print("Error: Unable to access the shared container.") return false } let fileURL = containerURL.appendingPathComponent(fileName) do { try data.write(to: fileURL, options: .atomic) print("Data saved to shared container successfully.") return true } catch { print("Error: Unable to save data to shared container. \(error)") return false } } I have already verified the following: App Groups capability is enabled for both the main app target and the extension target. The App Group identifier is consistent in both the main app target and the extension target, as well as in the Swift code. Provisioning profiles and signing certificates are up-to-date, and the issue persists after cleaning the project and resetting the provisioning profiles. Despite trying these steps, the issue remains unresolved. This error is reproducible in a new project with a Preview extension. I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions from the community to help me resolve this issue. Thank you in advance!

Profile doesn't include the com.apple.security.app-sandbox entitlement.

Hi, I'm building an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac (Mac Catalyst). Unfortunately when I'm adding Family Controls capability to project I'm unable to run Mac Catalyst version of app. Everything is compiling, it fails when run and shows "Could not launch App" Launch Service error IDELaunchErrorDomain: code 20 RBSRequestErrorDomain: code 5 NSPOSIXErrorDomain: code 153 iOS version work without any problems and Screen Time releated Api too. My minimum deployment target is iOS 15. Our permission for Family Controls to distribute in AppStore is currently processing but I guess it shouldn't has influence as I'm running debug. Best, Marcin

Hi all, I got the entiltlements for the DriverKit PCI (primary match). so I added it to my driver app ID. so, I can show the ~~transport.pci entitlement item on my provision profile. However, macOS system still block the my driver, and log show the " Unsatisfied entitlements: com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.pci"

I am trying to sign a DriverKit extension for distribution using a Developer ID provisioning profile, but when I try to import the profile to sign the dext I get the error "Platform: MacOS doesn't match platform DriverKit". We requested the entitlement from Apple a few months ago and according to Apple Support it was approved (though we did not get any email directly from the DriverKit approval process). The App ID we are using appears to have the DriverKit capabilities that we need under "Additional Capabillities". Our process right now is this: Go to Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles Create a new Provisioning Profile and select Developer ID Distribution Select the correct App ID After creating and downloading the profile, import it into Xcode Receive the error "Platform: MacOS does not match DriverKit" According to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/requesting_entitlements_for_driverkit_development#3557213, there should perhaps be a prompt adding DriverKit to the provisioning profile and not just the identifier, but we do not see this. Has anybody else run into a similar issue and resolved it? I see a similar thread at https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/710713, but that one is eight months old and doesn't appear to have a solution.

Lets say I have App A with App Group G. Is it possible to build and distribute a compiled binary framework F that lives within App Group G that can be used by 3rd party developers (not the same team)? My use case: A provides some local on-device data collection service (read & write). F provides an API to write to As data collection (write only). 3rd party developer should be apple to write data through F but not be able to read such data. I do not want to use a web server.

We started the processing of getting 'Default Browser' entitlement earlier this year, reached out to the email address Apple provided, and sent all the necessary resources they asked back in February 23rd, 2023. It's already 3 months passed we never heard back from them. Also, the build they wanted to test from us, it seems like never even installed from their side. My question is: Is it always like that and happens to everybody whoever wants it, like how long usually have to wait to get it? Or how does it actually works? If anyone knows, please write back. It's been a blocker for us. Thanks.
