The problem is described in full with log output in #16844 We are having an issue with TCC prompting users for access to the app group container despite signing with entitlements following all guidelines. This is a regression from the Feb 2025 Changes discussed in App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Working Towards Harmony The problem can only be reproduced with Xcode 16.0 and later. The entitlements for the app include access for the group container with [Key] com.apple.security.application-groups [Value] [Array] [String] G69SCX94XU.duck The documentation notes the group name can be arbitrary, e.g. <team identifier>.<group name>. Cyberduck uses G69SCX94XU.duck by default. Interestingly enough the alert is not shown when a group name matching the bundle identifier is used, e.g. G69SCX94XU.ch.sudo.cyberduck.

Hi, We applied for Tap to Pay on iPhone entitlement and were approved, but on distribution support it's only showing Development. We can build and debug Tap to Pay on development, but unable to build release. We opened ticket with Apple support but they were saying it was configured correctly. I attached screenshot of our developer account entitlement for Tap to Pay. It clearly said Development only.

I requested the Family Controls Entitlement last week and haven’t heard back at all. I’ve submitted the request three times now, but I haven’t received a confirmation, a case number, or even an acknowledgment that it was received. I called Apple Support, but they said they have no visibility into the entitlement request process, which leaves me completely in the dark. I just want to know if my request is under consideration or not. This is especially frustrating because I’ve had strong engagement on social media around my app, and I have stakeholders waiting for updates. Right now, I can’t send the app for review, and I can’t even distribute it via TestFlight to internal testers. Honestly, I didn’t expect this kind of radio silence from Apple. Has anyone else experienced this when requesting entitlements?

Hi, I'm trying to integrate with Tap to Pay feature under Stripe. For this reason i need to add com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance entitlement to my Identifier. I can see it under Provisioning Profile -> Enabled Capabilities. But after downloading this profile in Xcode I don't see this entitlement. What could be the reason for this discrapency?

I'm getting this error when uploading a build of my macOS app to App Store Connect. It has always worked before, and nothing changed about my use of app groups, and the iOS build uploaded without any problems. Cleaning the build folder and derived data folder doesn't help. I'm using automatically managed signing in Xcode. Invalid code signing entitlements. Your application bundle’s signature contains code signing entitlements that aren’t supported on macOS. Specifically, the “[group.]” value for the com.apple.security.application-groups key in “.pkg/Payload/.app/Contents/MacOS/” isn’t supported. This value should be a string or an array of strings, where each string is the “group” value or your Team ID, followed by a dot (“.”), followed by the group name. If you're using the “group” prefix, verify that the provisioning profile used to sign the app contains the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement and its associated value(s).
