Unable to submit app update due to missing Game Center entitlement...even though it's present

After using the developer console without issues for quite a while now, I'm suddenly unable to submit an update to one of my games because App Store Connect thinks it is missing the Game Center entitlement. It gives the following message when trying to submit the update for review:

You must add the com.apple.developer.game-center key in Xcode.

The first submission I tried to make was indeed missing the capability somehow - I went back and fix this with another build, but the error remains still. I have added the Game Center capability and my entitlements file has the following lines:

<key>com.apple.developer.game-center</key>

<true/>

I did find this StackOverflow post describing the exact same issues from fairly recently - 14 hours ago as of the time of writing - so I'm wondering if this is a bug.

Wondering if anyone has encountered this and if there is a workaround.

For anyone coming here doing Unity stuff, @krince advice worked for me. Deleted my local provisioning profiles and after that my build was correctly recognized as having the GC entitlements:

I forced a re-creation of the automatically managed provision profiles (deleted everything under ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles)

Hi there I have added the Game Center Capability to my to iWatch Target (although it is not used on this target ) and problem solved. Apple must support properly to its developers. In my opinion , Apple does not have the skilled team to supports its developers.
