"no valid aps-environment entitlement found for application"

Question

I am encountering this error when I am loading an Ad Hoc build of my Push Notification enabled iPhone app onto my device:

no valid aps-environment entitlement found for application

What does it mean, and how do I repair it?

Answer 1

I found the solution. In my project info under Build > Code Signing Identity I had it set to automatic, and it was selecting an AdHoc distribution profile which did not have push notifications enabled. (It was the wrong one.) I have selected the correct profile and the error is gone.

Answer 2

Push Notifications must be enabled for your App ID before creating a Provision Profile.

So, in this order:

Create your APP ID

Enable APNS

Create the Provisioning Profile
