Hi,
I am experiencing an issue where Xcode displays a "Provisioning profile doesn't support the capability" error for the User Assigned Device Name capability, despite it being approved by Apple and visible in our provisioning profile on the Developer Portal.
Background
We have completed and submitted the required capability request form to Apple for the User Assigned Device Name capability and received approval. The capability appears correctly in our provisioning profile on the Apple Developer Portal and shows among the enabled capabilities alongside other standard capabilities like In-App Purchase and Push Notifications.
Issue
However, Xcode consistently displays the error message when trying to enable the User Assigned Device Name capability in our project settings, preventing successful builds with this functionality.
Troubleshooting Steps Attempted
We have tried multiple troubleshooting steps including:
- Regenerating provisioning profiles
- Performing clean builds
- Clearing DerivedData
- Manually installing profiles
- Adding the
com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name
entitlement manually to our entitlements file - Toggling automatic signing on and off
Environment Details
- Xcode Version: 16.4 (16F6)
- iOS Deployment Target: iOS 13
- Profile Type: Distribution provisioning profile
- Capability: User Assigned Device Name
Despite the capability being approved by Apple and visible in our provisioning profile, Xcode does not recognize it. This appears to be a synchronization issue between the Apple Developer Portal and Xcode's capability validation system.
Has anyone encountered similar issues with recently approved capabilities, specifically the User Assigned Device Name capability? Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this capability recognition issue? Any suggestions for resolving this discrepancy between the Developer Portal and Xcode would be greatly appreciated.
