Hi - appreciate your help in advance!

Building a simple habit tracking app.

I got approval for FamilyControls distribution.

After creating a new provisioning profile with those capabilities enabled, when I try and build in xcode (16.4) using that Profile I get an error stating:

"Provisioning profile "CreateMoreFamilyControlsv2" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.deviceactivity and com.apple.developer.deviceactivity.reporting entitlements"

I've confirmed bundle identifier matches, Team etc

Similarly when i do automatic signing see 3rd screenshot.

Not sure what to do at this point, I've heard deviceActivity is automatically applied when family controls is approved but still running into this issue.

If your app includes the Device Activity and Managed Settings extension points, you must also request permission to use the Family Controls entitlement for each extension.

Additionally, the com.apple.developer.deviceactivity and com.apple.developer.deviceactivity.reporting keys don't exist as explained in Determining if an entitlement is real. If your entitlements file includes them, remove them from the file, then configure Xcode to request new provisioning profiles for automatic signing.

If you use manual signing, regenerate your provisioning profile in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, download and install it onto your system, then use the profile to resign your app.
