Hi,

We have been granted the com.apple.managed.vpn.shared entitlement and are able to use it for builds/TestFlight builds. We can access the cert in a mobile config. and everything works fine.

However when we try to archive a build and distribute for App Store Connect it fails if the entitlement file contains this entry. If we take it out the upload succeeds but the app can't load the cert from the keychain.

The Distribution profile has the entry: keychain-access-groups: [TEAM ID].*, com.apple.managed.vpn.shared

Is there an extra step for App Store Connect builds?

Thanks,

Dave

Hmmmm, we generally grant access to that capability for all distribution channels. I suspect that something went wrong on that front. Fortunately, there’s a new process that makes this easy to fix (and is easier in general).

I can’t address this here on the forums, so please open a DTS code-level support request and we’ll deal with it there.

IMPORTANT When you fill in the submission form, reference this forums thread so that your request gets routed to me.
