Provisioning Profile Missing Family Controls (Distribution) Entitlement Despite Approved App IDs

Hello,

I’m running into an issue with the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement not being included in my App Store Connect provisioning profiles.

Here’s the situation: •Both my main app and its Screen Time extension have been approved for Family Controls (Distribution)

In Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles → Identifiers, I can clearly see that the capability Family Controls (Distribution) is enabled for both App IDs.

However, when I generate a new provisioning profile (either manually or via Xcode), the resulting .mobileprovision file’s <key>Entitlements</key> section does not include the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement.

As a result, building for distribution or archiving fails to recognize that entitlement, even though everything looks correct in the Developer Portal.

But the missing entitlement persists.

How can I successfully generate a distribution provisioning profile that includes Family Controls (Distribution)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance — this seems like a subtle configuration issue, and I’d love to hear how to get over it.

I can provide the Team ID and bundle ID upon request.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I’ve tried:

•Regenerating both App IDs and provisioning profiles •Revoking and re-creating distribution certificates •Cleaning derived data and re-downloading profiles from Xcode

Every time, creating a profile for App Store Connect will fail to include the capabilities the app has been approved for.
