Problem Summary

Apple's provisioning servers are not generating the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement for App ID com.driftnotes.app (Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY), making it impossible to build iOS apps for physical devices despite all configurations being correct.

Environment

macOS: 15.3.1 (24D70)
Xcode: 16.1 (xcode-select version 2409)
Flutter: 3.35.2 • channel stable
Account: Individual Developer (Kazakhstan)
Bundle ID: com.driftnotes.app
Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY

Error Message

Error (Xcode): Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.driftnotes.app" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement.
/Users/vyacheslavkuzin/Desktop/FlutterProjects/DriftNotesDart/ios/Runner.xcodeproj

Steps to Reproduce

Configure App ID with In-App Purchase capability (✅ verified in Developer Portal)
Add In-App Purchase capability in Xcode project (✅ done)
Configure entitlements file with StoreKit keys (✅ done)
Enable automatic signing in Xcode (✅ done)
Run: flutter build ios --release
Build completes successfully ("Xcode build done. 13,8s") but fails at signing stage

Expected vs Actual Result

Expected: Provisioning profile should include com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement
Actual: Profile is created WITHOUT the entitlement, despite all configurations being correct

Configuration Details

Developer Portal

App ID com.driftnotes.app has In-App Purchase capability enabled ✅
All agreements are active in App Store Connect ✅

Xcode Project

In-App Purchase capability added via Signing & Capabilities ✅
Automatically manage signing: Enabled ✅
Team: 43Y6AG5NPY (Vyacheslav Kuzin) ✅

Build Settings

PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER: com.driftnotes.app ✅
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM: 43Y6AG5NPY ✅

Troubleshooting Attempted

Multiple Attempts

Profile Recreation: Manual and automatic profiles recreated dozens of times
Cache Cleanup: Complete removal of:
- ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
- ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/*
- Flutter clean & pod cache clean
Signing Methods: Tested both manual and automatic signing management
Wait Periods: 48+ hours for server propagation
Complete Profile Deletion: Removed ALL profiles from Developer account per Apple Support

Apple Support Workaround

Following Senior Advisor recommendation:

✅ Deleted all provisioning profiles from account
✅ Confirmed IAP capability in project
✅ Created StoreKit Configuration File for testing
✅ Verified automatic signing management
✅ Multiple "Try Again" attempts in Xcode
Result: Problem persists

Apple Support Reference

Case #102680105923 - Senior Advisor Simone confirmed after internal team consultation that this requires engineering team attention and directed to Developer Forums.

Technical Analysis

What Works

Flutter build completes successfully
Pod install executes without issues (25,9s)
Xcode build finishes successfully (13,8s)
All dependencies resolve correctly

What Fails

Provisioning profile generation: Server creates profile but omits StoreKit entitlement
All profile types affected: Both manual and automatic profiles
Consistent across configurations: Debug, Release, Profile all fail identically

Root Cause

This appears to be a server-side bug where Apple's provisioning systems are not properly correlating the App ID's In-App Purchase capability with the StoreKit entitlement generation for this specific App ID (com.driftnotes.app).

The issue is NOT in client-side configuration - all settings match Apple's official documentation exactly. The problem occurs during the server-side provisioning profile generation process.

Request for Engineering Team

This issue requires attention from Apple's provisioning infrastructure team to resolve the server-side entitlement generation bug for App ID com.driftnotes.app.

Impact

Critical: Complete inability to build iOS app for physical devices
Business: Blocking app deployment and updates
Developer Experience: Extensive time spent on troubleshooting correctly configured setup

All configurations have been verified multiple times and match Apple's official documentation. The issue has been escalated through Apple Support (Case #102680105923) and requires engineering team intervention.
