Hi everyone,
I'm trying to add the Side Button Access entitlement to my voice-based conversational app following the documentation, but I'm unable to find it in Xcode.
Steps I followed:
- Selected my app target in Xcode project navigator
- Went to the Signing & Capabilities tab
- Clicked the + Capability button
- Searched for "Side Button Access"
Problem: The "Side Button Access" option does not appear in the capabilities list at all.
Environment:
- I'm developing and testing in Japan (where this feature should be available)
- Xcode version: Xcode 26.2 beta 3
- iOS deployment target: iOS 26.2
Questions:
- Is there any pre-registration or special approval process required from Apple before this entitlement becomes available?
- Are there any additional requirements or prerequisites I need to meet?
- Is this feature already available, or is it still in a limited beta phase?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
