After obtaining the entitlement : "com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression" we had some issue with xcode it started to systematically crash on launch as soon as we install a .mobileprovision file containing the entitlement. The problem would just disappear as soon as we installed the profile without the Entitlement.

for reference the same problem was seen in all xcode version starting from 11.3.1 to 11.5

Here you find the crash report.

Yeah, it looks like there is a formatting issue in your provisioning profile:

ProductBuildVersion: 11E608c
UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION (NSInvalidArgumentException): -[NSArrayM hasSuffix:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fc1a5d47c60

Comparing your provisioning profile against you entitlements file in your app, what do they both look like?

To output the contents of your provisioning profile:
$ security cms -D -i provisionprofile

If you see a strange formatting issue in your provisioning profile you can probably stop there and open a DTS incident to have this further investigated.

If your profile looks fine then compare it to the source output of your entitlements file in Xcode project and see if they match.

@Matt Eaton

Thanks for the reply, i compared to mobileprovision files one with the entitlement the other without, and weirdly enough i don't see any major issues . The only difference i was able to tell was the entitlement that was added in the right section i might add.

Thanks for the follow up. Could you paste output from your entitlements file in your app and from the entitlements in your provisioning profile here? Please sanitize sensitive bundle identifier information, but I just want to compare the output of the two and see what the format looks like in the provisioning profile.

We're having the exact same issue over here. Was a resolution reached?

I am having a crash too.
My feeling is that the problem could be when we include the entitlement com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression in our provisioning profile the value for the key application-identifier is an array with one string, and when we do not include this entitlement the value for the key application-identifier is just the string.
My assumption may also explain the error shows in the previous reply:

ProductBuildVersion: 11E608c
UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION (NSInvalidArgumentException): -[NSArrayM hasSuffix:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fc1a5d47c60

Here is the part in the provisioning profile that I refer to:

Code Block 
  ...
  <key>com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression</key>
  <true/>
  <key>application-identifier</key>
  <array>
      <string>##########.###.########.######</string>
  </array>
  ...


And here is the diff between two provisioning profiles created with and without the entitlement com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression. The two provisioning profiles were the result of running the command line security cms -D -i Mobileprovision
