Some background
iOS operation system has a "entitlement" notion . Generally speaking, it's a permission which is granted to an application. Other system services and apps can check for this permission to allow/deny execution of some functionality.
These entitlements should be specified in a provisioning profile.
System applications have a lot of different entitlements.
User application are limited to just couple of entitlements (like access to iCloud or something like that which can be configured on developer portal).
The question is: Does anybody know a way to add entitlements to user application for NON jailbroken device?
The overall idea is to add entitlements to developed app to gain more permissions to use system services.
Notes & Disclaimers
I know how to do this for jailbroken phone. However, it doesn't work on non jailbroken device.
I am aware that Apple will reject it. It won't go to AppStore.
The solution doesn't have to be a compile time solution (meaning, a way to modify a file). It could be a runtime solution - one application adding somehow entitlements to itself or to 3rd party app.

Select iOS > Resource > Property List. Name the new file " foo. entitlements " (typically, " foo " is the target name) Click the (+) next to "Entitlements File" to add a top-level item (the property list editor will use the correct schema due to the file extension)
An app stores its entitlements as key-value pairs embedded in the code signature of its binary executable. You configure entitlements for your app by declaring capabilities for a target in Xcode. Xcode records capabilities that you add in a property list file with the . entitlements extension.
No. Entitlements are contained within the application’s code signature. Changing them will, of course, break the signature, and stock iOS devices will not run code with a broken code signature. What you ask is not possible.
