Is it possible to use the Matter.xcframework without the MatterSupport extension for onboarding a Matter device to our own ecosystem(own OTBR and matter controller) for an official App Store release?

Currently, we can achieve this in developer mode by adding the Bluetooth Central Matter Client Developer mode profile (as outlined here https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/docs/guides/darwin.md). For an official release, what entitlements or capabilities do we need to request approval from Apple to replace the Bluetooth Central Matter Client Developer mode profile?

Thank you for your assistance.

Why do you want to do this? Why is using the MatterSupport framework an issue? The point of matter is facilitate sharing accessories across ecosystems, which is exactly why the MatterSupport ecosystem exists.

I am in a case described by @MarcoKhoo. I would appreciate an answer as to whether we can use Matter.xcframework directly in our production application. What entitlements do we need (if any)?

Thank you for your assistance.

There is no way to use Matter.framework alone 😞
