The application is missing required entitlement com.apple.developer.icloud-services'

Question

I'm using a public iCloud database in my app, which works great and is up on the store.

On updating my app to a new version (with Xcode 7 on iOS9) I get a crash on the line :

CKContainer * container = [CKContainer containerWithIdentifier:@"iCloud.com.identifier"];

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'CKException', reason: 'The application is missing required entitlement com.apple.developer.icloud-services'

This happens ONLY the first launch of the app after updating, and only on iOS9. After that first (update) launch, the app launches and iCloud works as expected.

I can recreate the crash consistently by downloading the current store version of the app, then running the updated app from Xcode 7.

If I do the same steps (download production app, and update) using iOS8, I do not have the same crash.

I'm guessing this is an iOS9 or Xcode 7 bug. Any ideas?

EDIT : This actually happens on the first launch of the app on iOS9, regardless of whether I'm updating or just first installing.

Answer 1

Toggling the iCloud Capability on and off seems to have fixed it.

Answer 2

Toggling iCloud didn't work for me. Reinstalling the app didn't work either. The problem seems to happen whenever I have break points enabled. If I turn these off it runs without any problem.
