Xcode 8 : Enable wireless capability for Wildcard App ID

Question

I'm using Wildcard App Id for development profile.

Now in Xcode 8 it's required Wireless Accessory Configuration capability must be enable in project setting as well as in app id. I have enable this capability in project setting under capability section but I'm not able to enable this capability for wildcard app id.

Is there any way to enable this capability in wildcard app id or we can bypass this requirement?

Answer 1

You should use a Wildcard App ID for all apps and app targets that do not enable app-specific capabilities.

So I am afraid you can not use this capability with Wildcard App Id.

Using a Wildcard App ID is convenient for all apps that do not use capabilities, as they can reuse the same provisioning profile for code signing.

Here is complete Q/A discussion about When should I use a wildcard App ID?

Hope it helps !

Answer 2

You can only enable a limited number of capabilities in your WildCard AppId. The reason being most other capabilities rely on the bundle identifier like Push notifications, App groups etc.

You will have to create a new App Id with desired bundle identifier & enable the required capabilities there.
