Getting the ...user-assigned-device-name entitlement?

In iOS 16, UIDevice.name has changed to only return the model of the device, not the user specified name.

There is an entitlement, com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name that can be requested to keep the old behaviour, but I can't find any info on how to request that entitlement.

Anyone able to help?

I came across this whilst search how to request another entitlement...

I have not yet had a response as to whether there exists a new process or we are still using the TSI route.

Good luck. I'll be watching this thread :)

The process for requesting managed entitlements varies by entitlement. You can’t extrapolate from com.apple.vm.networking to, say, com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name.

With regards the latter, I don’t have any info to share on that front.

  • So not even worth opening a TSI for it?

  • No.
