Local Push Connectivity For In-House/Enterprise Applications.

We are currently working on Creating a POC Using the Receiving Voice and Text Communications on a Local Network sample,

According to this information "Apps that use Local Push Connectivity require the App Push Provider entitlement." - we need to create an APP on AppleStore Connect, but we are working on an In-House/Enterprise Entity, which restricts the access to AppStore Connect.

Can you help us with, How to get the "app-push-provider Entitlement( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_networking_networkextension)" for us to use on the Apps at Delta Enterprise. According to the discussion on the above link

  • To add this entitlement to an iOS app or a Mac App Store app, enable the Network Extensions capability in Xcode.
  • To add this entitlement to a macOS app distributed outside of the Mac App Store, perform the following steps:

we need the Entitlement to make this sample project work.

According to the above point, we enabled the Network extension capabilities on the App side, but it was missing App-Push- Provider Entitlement.

your help will be much appreciated.

What is your final distribution target, the App Store or an in-house Enterprise app?

Regarding:

You will need to apply for the Local Push Connectivity entitlement using the link below:

Note that this link assumes that you have logged into your Developer Account.

    In-house Enterprise app.

    I do have a developer account, When we try reaching that Website it says we don't have access to it(info added below), and it makes sense because our account Entity is In-house/Enterprise and not App Store

    Sorry, you cannot view this page. The Apple ID you signed in with does not have permission to view this page.

    I was not able to update the permissions as we are an in-house entity.

  • I am seeing the exact same problem at the moment (only difference is that this is from a regular App Store account). I am logged into my Apple Developer account. I click https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/local-push-connectivity. I end up at the "Sorry, you cannot view this page" error. I've taken the liberty of contacting you Matt, hoping you can help me out. Are there other persons I should contact instead?

  • Followup to the above. It was not clear to me that you need to be Account Owner to be able to request the app-push-provider Entitlement. If I log in as an Admin user, I get the above error, whereas logging in as a user with the Account Owner role seems to work. Sorry for the confusion.

If you happen to see this thread and are experiencing the same issue, please open a TSI here so this request can be handled by the proper folks. In the meantime, I am still looking into why the form is not available for Enterprise Developers. (r. 83357517)
