Hi,

I am uploading an app to itunes connect but I always get the "Missing push notification entitlements" email.

I triple checked everything from my certificates, to app id, provisioning profile, but everything looks fine.

I installed through Testflight but was getting "didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError", so I know it's not working.

The problem is that installing the same build through Crashlytics distribution platform, I was succeeding at registering for remote notifications.

How is that possible? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

If your app does not use push notifications, it is completely safe to ignore the warning. It's there to let developers who do use push notifications know that they might have signed their app incorrectly.

There was an issue with the app validator the week of August 31, 2015 that caused this warning to be sent erroneously to some developers whose apps do not use push notifications. This issue was corrected on September 2. The next time you validate or submit your app you should not see the warning.

So if I just ignore the email, the app will proceed to be submitted on to the app store? The flow of submission is not documented well at all. Or I havn't managed to come across one. Can you confirm my assumptions? Thanks for the post.

I am still having this issue 12/16/15 on an app that does use push notifications for development purposes, and the push notifications do not work. They are enabled in my App ID's provisioning profile (for development and distribution) and enabled in the capabilities section of the app in Xcode.

I'm still facing this issue.

I submitted a build to TestFlight on September 2 with no such warning, and submitted same app again on September 8 and received this email.

Apart from this, many of my beta testers (with Admin, Technical, App manager roles), recieved this email. Is there any way, it can be avoided

Thanks

Same issue even in xcode 9 😟 Is this an application loader problem, or a xcode problem?
