Provisioning Profile Defect: App Attest Entitlement (com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment) Missing Despite Enabled Capability

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a critical, blocking issue where my developer account (Team ID: K655PX7A46) is unable to generate a valid provisioning profile with the App Attest entitlement. I have confirmed this is a server-side issue and am hoping to get visibility from an Apple engineer who can investigate.

The Problem: When I generate a provisioning profile for an App ID with the "App Attest" capability enabled, the resulting profile is defective. It is missing the required com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key in its entitlements dictionary, causing Xcode to fail the build.

What I Have Proven:

The issue is not a misconfiguration. The App Attest capability is correctly enabled and saved on the App ID configuration page. The issue is not isolated to one App ID. I created a brand new App ID from scratch, enabled the capability during creation, and the server still generates a defective profile with the same missing entitlement. I have definitive proof by inspecting the downloaded .mobileprovision file. The contents confirm the required key is missing. Steps to Reproduce on My Account:

Create a new App ID on the Developer Portal. Enable the "App Attest" capability and save. Generate a new "iOS App Development" provisioning profile for this App ID. Download the profile and inspect its contents via security cms -D -i [profile]. Observe that the com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key is missing. The Evidence (Contents of the Defective Profile): Here is the output from inspecting the profile for a brand new App ID (com.technology519.linksi.app2). As you can see, the correct entitlement is missing, and an incorrect devicecheck entitlement is present instead.

This is a critical bug in the provisioning profile generation service for my account that is blocking all development. I have already filed a support ticket (Case #102721408444) but have so far only received generic, unhelpful responses.

Can an Apple engineer please investigate this server-side issue with my account?

Thank you.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the app is live on android, but this is my biggest hurdle to publishing on IOS. :)

This is not a bug in the provisioning profile generation service, and the issue is indeed a misconfiguration on your side.

The App Attest Environment Key in the provisioning profile is the correct one, and the one you have included does not exist.

The provisioning profile and your project entitlements must match, and a provisioning profile will not include an otherwise non-existent entitlement entry.

The key com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment is not a valid entitlement - it does not exist. So you can't add it to your provisioning profile. You need to remove that from your entitlements file.

I don't know which resource you found this in, but whatever they have recommended is completely wrong. You will want to read the proper documentation to understand how this all works, and what entries you need to setup in your project.
