In capabilities added app groups not displaying and I try to add app groups it showing no account configured error.

Answer 1

You can add this to the Entitlements file by adding the following key.

<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key>
<array>
    <string>App Group Identifier</string>
</array>

This will only work if your provisioning profile already supports the groups you're adding. If you want to add an app group to the provisioning profile, you need to do it from the Apple Developer website.
