Missing Push Notification Entitlement warning

问题:

We have created an App ID, distribution certificate and provisioning profile. Push Notifications were not initially enabled.

We now need to implement Push Notifications in the app.

We have enable Push Notifications in the App D, check the provisioning profile, the provisioning profile was invalid, updated it, and downloaded the latest provisioning profile to use it for next time.

We then integrate the APIs for Push Notifications via APNS in our code.

After uploading the app in iTunesConnect, we get the following email from Apple:

Dear developer,

We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "Swanvi". Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery:

Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to include API used 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. See "Provisioning and Development" in the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide for more information. If your app does not use the Apple Push Notification service, no action is required. You may remove the API from future submissions to stop this warning. If you use a third-party framework, you may need to contact the developer for information on removing the API.

After you’ve corrected the issues, you can use Xcode or Application Loader to upload a new binary to iTunes Connect.

We have re-checked the App ID. Push Notifications are enabled for development and production.

In the Provisioning Profile, the Push Notifications option is shown.

Why are we getting this warning via email?

You need to see 2 things: The provisioning profiles used by your account on Xcode and the ones on developer.apple

Its all about the provisioning profiles.

STEP 1: Go to https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/certificate/ and see the Active iOS Distribution Provisioning Profiles you need for your app. Then click on it and make sure Enabled Services has Push Notification enabled. If it doesn't then click on edit and enable it by following the steps provided by Apple. If it is enabled then perfect.

STEP 2: Delete any Invalid Provisioning Profiles you see related to app (just the invalid ones for YOUR app). I'll tell you why in the following steps.

STEP 3: Go to Xcode -> Preference -> View Details (for your Account) -> [OPTIONAL: To be sure invalid one is gone, rt-click on any provisioning profile, select "Show in Finder", then Delete/Move all the provisioning profiles from that folder.] Now click Download All Profiles. This will replace local provisioning profiles with current ones. Click DONE.

STEP 4: Go to your app Targets -> Build Settings -> In Code Signing, expand your Provisioning Profile to show Debug and Release tabs. By default it will be on Automatic (which is why your app was probably automatically using the invalid profile that we just deleted in step 2). For Release, to be on a safer side, select the Active Provisioning Profile with enabled Push Notifications as seen on step 1.

That's it.

You shouldn't get any emails now.

@Djeeraj V.S. is correct. Cordova added some conditional compilation to remove this requirement for apps that do not need Push notifications.

You could comment out the code in in Classes\AppDelegate.h as per this answer, but its better to add the compilation symbol DISABLE_PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS via the UI so you can continue to benefit from future Cordova upgrades.

I come from .NET background so i am familiar with conditional compilation but had to spend a bit of time working out how to get the compiler flag working in XCode.

Turns out the magic word here is 'Preprocessor Macro'. Here is how its done graphically via the UI (note that this the way its done in XCode 6.1):

Hope this helps other people out there in same situation.

In my case I've just checked again 'Capabilities' page inside project properties and pressed 'fixed issue' in the correspond APNS menu. Now it have to look like this

I had the same warning and here is how I solved it.

First of all, when you archive your project, under entitlements if you don't see aps-environment and your app uses push notifications, then you will get the warning mentioned in the question.

FIX STEPS

1- Make sure your distribution profile is valid in Apple's Portal. - If it's not, then regenerate it. 2- If your distribution profile is valid, then in XCode, navigate to Preferences and then click View Details. At this point under Provisioning Profiles, make sure you don't have invalid distribution provisioning files. If there are invalid ones, then make right click and move them to trash. If you don't have the valid one, then download it from the Portal. 3- Go to Build Settings -> Code Signing and for everything choose the distribution provisioning profile.

At this point if you archive, you can see aps-environment in your entitlements and the warning email won't come.

In my case, following practice worked. Xcode 9.2

1. Disabled Automatically manage signing which appears in Build Target > Signing
2. Import provisioning profile manually.
