Conflict between capability User Assigned Device Name & Contacts notes entitlements

PLATFORM AND VERSION iOS Development environment: Xcode 15.4, macOS 14.1.1 Run-time configuration: iOS iOS 17.4.1,

There are two ways that Apple grants access to managed capabilities. In my Using the Multicast Networking Additional Capability I label these as the old process and the new process. To help you out here I need to know which process you’re using for each of these capabilities:

• It sounds like User Assigned Device Name is using the new process. Please confirm?

• And what about Contacts Notes?

Hi Thank you for the response. Please find the updates below.

• 1. It sounds like User Assigned Device Name is using the new process. Please confirm? Yes you are right the User Assigned Device Name capability added in to our App ID and then create a provisioning profile based on that. ie, new process.
• 1. And what about Contacts Notes? ** Contacts Notes added additional capability to our provisioning profile** ie, the old process

Thank you.

Interesting. Those should be compatible [1]. The basic idea would be:

1. Set the User Assigned Device Name additional capability on your App ID.

2. Then create a provisioning profile from that App ID.

3. And, while doing that, apply the Contact Notes template to the profile.

Some notes:

• This involves the old process, and the old process requires that you use manual code signing.

• One or both of these might be restricted to specific App IDs.

[1] In general:

• Two old process managed capabilities are not compatible.

• All other combinations are.

Hi Team,

As you suggested we have created the provisioning profile for the User Assigned Device Name capability enabled App Id and then applied the Contact Notes template to the profile. Still getting the same error "Provisioning profile "IDriveOnlineBackUp_Dev2" doesn't support the User Assigned Device Name capability."(performing manual code signing)

Here Im attaching the screenshots of error, entitlement plist and the build settings User-Defined provisioning profile settings. Please check those let me know if anything missing. Also let me know if there any additional build settings we have to take care on this scenario.

We have another application called IDrive 360 which also provides similar services to the customer. 360 application as well we have the above mentioned capabilities ie, "User Assigned Device Name" & "Contacts notes Field access' '.

Here the difference is 360 having both of these capabilities as a part of the App ID(New Process). The provisioning profile showing Entitlements as default. We are able to Debug/Achieve the target without any issue.

Kindly consider this point.

Thanks & Regards

Hi , Could you please provide me an update on the above.

Thanks & Regards

I’ve been researching this internally but haven’t yet found any actionable results.

It’d help if I knew the Team ID for these products. Are you happy to post that here?

If not, that’s cool. Just reply here confirming that and I’ll suggest an alternative path forward.

Really sorry as per the company policy we cannot share the information with the public. Can you please check if possible further discussion through email? We already had multiple conversations with the technical team and were not getting proper response but at least it's getting here.

Thanks & Regards

we cannot share the information with the public.

Not a problem [1].

I suggest you submit a code-level support request so that I can get your Team ID from there. Once I have that information, we can continue the discussion here in the forums. When you create the request, indicate that you were referred by someone at Apple and make sure to include a link to this thread.

Hi,

Actually we have already raised a code level support request with Case-ID: 7747625. There the person who connected suggested posting the query on the developer forum for further discussions. Can you please collect the information from the existing request(Case-ID: 7747625).?

Thanks & Regards
