The error trying to distrubute to the store

Code Block According to the provisioning profile, the bundle contains a key value that is not allowed: '[]' for the key 'com.apple.developer.healthkit.access' in 'Payload/<app>.app/<app>'

Looking at the docs, this is a valid value:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_healthkit_access

Similarly, I had no issue until this appeared randomly....

Entitlement File

Code Block <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

	</array>
	<key>com.apple.developer.healthkit</key>
	<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

HealthKit is enabled as a capability in Apple Profile as well as for the product.

Does anyone have an idea of what could be going wrong? Seems like I am correctly following the practices.

I removed com.apple.developer.healthkit.access and fixed it.

I'm also waiting ... Does Apple know they're blocking EVERY HealthKit App from submitting updates?

Same issue here. We're blocked by not being able to submit an App update for a customer. Removing entries seems not to be the proper way to address this issue in my humble opinion. Any updates on this, anyone? Thanks!

sorry, add <array> isn't a solution. When I add this the app don't read and write data to HealthKit

It has been five days since this issue appeared and we can't push an update.

There are edits in the Entitlement filed that seem to allow the app to go through on APC but it's unclear how these changes might affect the app's behaviour when it's released.

Has anyone released an update after making any of those edits? Have you come across any issues?

bricepollock1 - Please un-accept your answer to the ticket so that Apple engineers will actually attempt to fix this. That is not a solution as it will prevent the app from getting through the App Store Review process

We have the same problem with uploading our app to App Store Connect. Here are the main points.

We see this error:

ERROR ITMS-90164: "Invalid Code Signing Entitlements. The entitlements in your app bundle signature do not match the ones that are contained in the provisioning profile. According to the provisioning profile, the bundle contains a key value that is not allowed: '[ ]' for the key 'com.apple.developer.healthkit.access' in 'Payload/XXXX.app/XXXX'."

The com.apple.developer.healthkit.access array includes health-records in our provisioning profile, but not the com.apple.developer.healthkit.access array in the app bundle's entitlements file
Removing the existing provisioning profile and creating a new provisioning profile doesn't fix the problem
Adding health-records to the array in the entitlements fixes the problem and we may upload the app successfully, but this doesn't solve the problem, since we don't need the access to the Clinical Health Records API the health-records entry allows
