When the App Store shows no more updates, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are up to date. That includes Safari, iTunes, iBooks, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Photos, and FaceTime.

Q: How can I verify that my submission to the App Store was code signed and entitled correctly?

A: During the app distribution process through the Xcode Organizer > Archives tab, entitlements are set onto the app by way of the provisioning profile used for code signing. It is important to be aware that the re-application of entitlements at this phase creates the opportunity for unintended entitlement differences between any prior development builds you may have tested. The primary purpose of this document is to verify that your entitlements are correct for your distribution builds for beta testing and App Store submission.

Note: Using TestFlight to beta test your app eliminates the opportunity for entitlement differences between the builds you beta test through TestFlight and the build submitted through TestFlight. This document is useful in preventing entitlement differences between development and distribution builds, and also for developers who rely solely on Ad Hoc for beta testing.

Note: For Push Notification entitlement troubleshooting, refer to the TN2265 - Troubleshooting Push Notifications document instead.

Inspecting distribution build entitlements while submitting an app in Xcode

Mac Os X Versions

Xcode shows the distribution build's entitlements in the Summary pane during the submission workflow. This is the last opportunity you have to visually ensure that your app contains the expected entitlements before submitting your app for review.

Creating an .ipa file to check the entitlements of an iOS app store submission

Alternatively to Xcode's entitlements preview, you can check the entitlements of an iOS app store submission by first creating and inspecting an .ipa file. The following steps outline the process to do this.

Making an Inspectable .ipa file

1. In the Xcode Organizer, instead of Submit to the iOS App Store, do Save for Enterprise or Ad-Hoc Deployment. This will create a local copy of the .ipa file that would be submitted to the App Store.

2. When asked to choose the provisioning profile to sign with, select the same distribution profile you use when submitting to the App Store. Take a screenshot of your choice (command-shift-3) so you can verify this step later. During submission, this screenshot will be the only record you have identifying which profile was used to sign the app.

3. When asked to save the package, uncheck Save for Enterprise Distribution, then save the .ipa file.

Checking the Entitlements of an .ipa file

1. Find the .ipa file and change its the extension to .zip.

2. Expand the .zip file. This will produce a Payload folder containing your .app bundle.

3. Use the codesign tool to check the entitlements on the .app bundle like this:

   where YourApp.app is the actual name of your .app bundle.

4. Use the security tool to check the entitlements of the app's embedded provisioning profile: Mac software compatible to wordperfect 10.

   where YourApp.app is the actual name of your .app bundle.

Checking the Entitlements of an OS X app Submission to the Mac App Store

Alternatively to Xcode's entitlements preview, you can check the entitlements of a OS X app store submission by first creating and inspecting an .ipa file. The following steps outline the process to do this.

Making an Inspectable .app bundle

1. In the Xcode Organizer, instead of Submit to the Mac App Store, do Export as Mac Installer Package. That will create a local copy of the .pkg file that would be submitted to the Mac App Store.

2. When asked to choose a provisioning profile to sign with, select the same distribution profile you use when submitting to the Mac App Store. Take a screenshot of your choice (command-shift-3) so you can verify this step later. During submission, this screenshot is the only record you'll have that identifies which profile was used to sign the app.

3. Save the .pkg file when prompted.

4. Use the pkgutil tool to expand the package into its components:

   where YourApp.pkg is the actual name of the package you created in the previous step.

5. Expand the compressed payload inside the package using the opentool or by double-clicking it:

   where com.yourcompany.yourapp is the actual bundle ID of your app.

Checking the Entitlements of an .app bundle

Use the codesigntool to check the entitlements on the .app bundle like this:

where YourApp.app is the actual name of your .app bundle.

Use the security tool to check the entitlements of the app's embedded provisioning profile:

where YourApp.app is the actual name of your .app bundle.

Troubleshooting Entitlement Mismatches

Follow these steps if an entitlement is not set as expected.

1. Log into Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > (iOS or OS X) > Provisioning Profiles > Distribution.

• Click the distribution profile and ensure the desired entitlements are listed under 'Enabled services.' If the desired services are not enabled, navigate to the App ID section of the site and enable the necessary services on the App ID associated to the distribution profile.

• Ensure the status of the distribution profile is 'Valid.' If the status is 'Invalid,' it means that the profile needs to be regenerated. A profile's status becomes invalid if there were changes made to its associated certificates or to the enabled services of its App ID. To regenerate the profile, select it from the list and click 'Edit.' Associate the profile to any new certificates (if necessary) and then click 'Generate.'

2. Follow the steps in Refreshing Provisioning Profiles in Xcode to ensure that Xcode's provisioning profile library is up to date.

3. Click 'Distribute..' on the Xcode > Organizer > Archives tab and choose the distribution profile within the Provisioning Profile selection menu. Take a screenshot of your choice (command-shift-3) so you can verify this step later. During submission, this screenshot will be the only record you have that identifies which profile was used to sign the app.

Note: If the live version of your App Store app is affected by missing entitlements, you can not simply re-sign the existing app archive. Once your profile's entitlements are corrected through the above steps, increase the bundle version, re-archive and then follow Step 3. to submit the app to the app store. You may be able to request an expedited review using this form.
