Xcode Error - Profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.icloud-container-environment entitlement

Question

We have enabled iCloud capability in our application and enabled below services,

1. Key-value storage
2. iCloud Documents

But while trying to export the build through the archive, it's throwing me the below error,

Profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.icloud-container-environment entitlement.

I have tried to set the com.apple.developer.icloud-container-environment entitlement in Entitlements file also as Production or Development but it did not help me either.

Any clue how to resolve this error?

Answer 1

For me, the trick was making sure it was capitalized: "Production" is different from "production" according to Apple.

As indicated:

Answer 2

Here's how I fixed it:

1. I created an iCloud container on the CloudKit dashboard (in the iCloud section of the Signing & Capabilities in Xcode).

2. I assigned the newly created container to my app (Developer Website > Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers > my app ID > Capabilities > iCloud > Edit button) and saved the app ID configuration.

3. Then I created a new App Store provisioning profile for this app ID and used it to manually sign the app when I uploaded it in Xcode.

Answer 3

This can also be done by Automatically manage signing. Just select the team, add Capability ICloud. Mark Tick on Container Checkbox and you will get the container there. Reference screenshot attached.

Answer 4

I followed this link. Look at the answer from @AppleStaff that says to click this link

Here is a screenshot of it filled out:

In the Description section you can add whatever you. At the bottom of theIdentifier section, it says

We recommend using a reverse-domain name style string (i.e., com.domainname.appname).

Fill it out like this-

Identifier: iCloud.com.yourCompanyName.yourAppName

Description: yourAppNameContainer (or whatever you want)

Press Continue when your finished.

Afterwards, go to Xcode > Blue icon in the upper left hand corner > Signing & Capabilities (in the Targets section) > iCloud (you should have already previously enabled iCloud) > click the small Reload Button (wait a few seconds) > tick the name that you choose above:

Answer 5

Try the following steps, which might help you

• Go to the apple dev portal
• open Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles section
• edit/create your existing provisioning profile manually
• download it from the portal, name it uniquely so you can distinguish it from the Xcode generated, i.e. "MyNewProfile"
• export the archive and assign MyProfile
