iCloud set up and provisioning

Question

I am trying to set up iCloud within my iOS application, I have done the following:

1. Removed all old certs on mac.
2. Added iCloud to the App in Dev Console - created new container and added to app
3. Redone the dev provision and downloaded
4. Installed the provision
5. Added the iCloud Entitlement to the app

And this is where is all goes wrong...

I can't get the app running again, the app is building but I am getting an error saying:

The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile.

(0xE8008016).

Any ideas??

UPDATE: I have managed to be able to run the application to get everything programmed and put in place, everything is set up iTunes Connect end, all provisions are valid and sync'd.

Now I am getting errors during validation...

There are 4: Invalid Code Signing Entitlements. Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that are not supported by iOS. Specifically, key 'com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers' in Payload ------- not supported

Other 3 are similar for other containers!

Answer 1

If you're just adding iCloud to an app for the first time or want to upgrade to use CloudKit after using an older iCloud container:

1. Go to the Apple Development Center.
2. Choose Certificates, IDs & Profiles.
3. Use the dropdown on the top left to switch between iOS/tvOS/watchOS or macOS
4. Choose App IDs under the Identifiers section.
5. Choose your app from the list.
6. Scroll down to iCloud and make sure it is enabled with a green dot.
7. If it's not enabled or has a yellow dot, click the button at the bottom of the page to Edit and make sure you've checked iCloud service.
8. You may also need to create a container under the iCloud Containers section then associate it with this app.
