[4.13] iOS Missing Push Notification Entitlement

Development Platform & Builds Mobile

Hi I tried to deploy the app on iOS, when I make an upload with Application Loader, the operation is completed, but soon after, I received an email from Apple saying:

Dear developer,

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

Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app includes an API for Apple’s Push Notification service, but the aps-environment entitlement is missing from the app’s signature. To resolve this, make sure your App ID is enabled for push notification in the Provisioning Portal. Then, sign your app with a distribution provisioning profile that includes the aps-environment entitlement. This will create the correct signature, and you can resubmit your app. 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.

Regards,

The App Store team

I tried to configure certificates on developers panel, but I get the exact same email, I though I have not set up any push service in this project. Is there a way to disable the push service? Even in the preview 4:14 have the same problem.

I’m on 4.14, and experiencing the same issue. No use of push notifications, yet still it is enabled, with no obvious way of disabling the service.

Hi Smoky Minds,
I’m using 4.13 and just received exactly the same message and email.
Do you have a solution?

you can ignore the email, I had no problems during Apple’s review

phew

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I really wasn’t looking forward to a week of hacking xmls or rooting out old provisioning/certs hoping to resolve the issue.

(then again, I can only hope that I don’t get the ‘super-fussy’ Apple employee
reviewing my app and rejecting it on that one issue).

Cheers!!

In 4.15 it is possible to disable push notifications, in project settings, and not get the email in question anymore.
