I am trying to upload my app to TestFlight, which using CoreNFC


Unfortunately, I got the error message on Testflight Validate part in (SDK version 13 and 13.1).


I already tried [this]: Xcode 11 beta can't upload app to TestFlight

but it will Lose NDEF function [this]: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58128365/5588637


Error messages: Invalid entitlement for core nfc framework The sdk version 13.0 and min OS version 13.0 are not compatible for the entitlement 'com. Apple developer nfc. Readersession formats because NDEF is disallowed


I already choose target iOS 13.1 in XCode, but also have this error.

I tried once to remove the 

NDEF
before the function will affect the nfc.

But the magic is when I try the second time, NFC function is work, I don't know why it doesn't affect the nfc function.


I also posted this question in stackoverflow

Following this Stack Overflow answer, I have manually removed the NDEF entitlement and was able to upload my app to the App Store without the ITMS-90778 error I was experiencing.

But this leaves me with a lot of questions...

  1. Why does Xcode add an entitlement that needs to be removed for uploading to the App Store? Is this a bug? Should I file a radar?

  2. I have now removed the NDEF entitlement. What will this cause? I am testing my app with a some cheap NFC Tags and everything seem to work, both reading and writing (and this includes the readerSession(_ session: NFCNDEFReaderSession, didDetectNDEFs messages: [NFCNDEFMessage]) NFCNDEFReaderSessionDelegate method that, as made clear by the name, handles the NDEF message of the tag), but have I maybe reduced the number of tags my app will be compatible with, by removing this entitlement?

  3. Another Stack Overflow answer with some upvotes describes the need to also add an ISO7816 application identifiers for NFC Tag Reader Session key to the Info.plist file with a com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.iso7816.select-identifiers value. I didn't do it and my app seem to work, but again, is this necessary? If I add this, what happens?

Thank you for all the informations you can provide, testing this in production is rather scary...
