Hello,
My aps-environment entitlement is set to development in my app.entitlements file.
However when I build my application as an archive (to generate an .ipa file), the aps-environment entitlement is automatically modified to production by Xcode because it uses a Distribution provisioning profile. I read in APS Environment Entitlement documentation that this default behaviour can be changed :
But I didn't find a way to do it. Is it possible to change (force) this aps-environment to development even for a distribution build ?
Indeed I don't want it to be production as the .ipa is for test purpose only (it is not the Store build).
Thank you very much for your help,
And I don't want it because I will provide this ipa to my test team (and I would like to be on the sandbox APNS environment)
This isn’t going to work. A provisioning profile ties together a bunch of things, including a set of signing certificate, the supported devices, and an entitlement allowlist. For more details on that, see my What exactly is a provisioning profile? post.
If you create a distribution profile, in order to get the distribution list of supported devices, it always includes a distribution allowlist. Most entitlements don’t vary based on this, but for aps-environment a distribution allowlist always contains production.
Share and Enjoy
