Issue Description
Our team keep receiving an email from App Store Connect when we distribute a build into it with this subject “App Store Connect: Your app "{appName}" (Apple ID: {id} Version: {version} Build: {build}) has one or more issues”.
Contents
The content of the email is saying:
Dear Developer,
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app,
"{appName}" {version} ({build}). Your delivery was successful, but you
may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery:
ITMS-90078: Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears
to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app
signature's entitlements do not include the 'aps-environment' entitlement.
If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service, make sure your
App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal,
and resubmit after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning
profile that includes the 'aps-environment' entitlement. Xcode does not
automatically copy the aps-environment entitlement from provisioning
profiles at build time. This behavior is intentional. To use this
entitlement, either enable Push Notifications in the project editor's
Capabilities pane, or manually add the entitlement to your entitlements
file. For more information, see https://developer.apple.com/library/
content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/
HandlingRemoteNotifications.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH6-SW1.
After you’ve corrected the issues, you can upload a new binary to
App Store Connect.
Best regards,
The App Store Team
Our app does not use the push notification function but Flutter is using the UIApplicationDelegate callback (source). The App Store Connect does not reject our app distribution (as long as we are not actually using push notification). It is a warning message. Some may just ignore this warning.
Solution
If you want to (kind of) resolve this warning, here is a workaround:
- Open the Flutter project (Runner) in XCode.
- Enable "Push Notifications" under Capabilities. (refer to the screenshot below)
- XCode will generate the “ios/Runner/Runner.entitlements” file.
- Done.
If you enjoy the solution, please feel free to buy me a cup of coffee ☕ :)
