# RAW processor entitlement

Include an entitlement to indicate your extension is a MediaExtension RAW processor.

## Discussion

MediaExtension RAW processors must include an special entitlement key with a Boolean value set to true. This entitlement is the same as for MediaExtension video decoders, since RAW processors always work in conjunction with a corresponding video decoder. To add the entitlement key in Xcode, follow these steps:

1. Select the build target for your format reader extension
2. Go to the Signing & Capabilities tab
3. Click + to add a new capability
4. Choose Media Extension Video Decoder from the list

The entitlement key is `com.apple.developer.mediaextension.videodecoder` and it must have a Boolean value set to true. A developer provisioning profile will be needed to use this entitlement.
