This is in Xcode Version 11.5 (11E608c).
In XCTestCase following call was returning nil when UITests was run on the
device:
[NSFileManager.defaultManager containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"group.abc"]
App Group group.abc is added to the main target XYZ. There is no option to add
app group to the XYZUITests target.
I checked XYZ's Provisioning Profile "Xcode Managed Profile" and it shows:
----------------------
App Groups: 1 included
Includes group.abc.
----------------------
and also:
-----------------------------------------
Entitlements: 5 included
Includes application-identifier,
...,
and com.apple.security.application-groups.
-----------------------------------------
I checked XYZUITests's Provisioning Profile "Xcode Managed Profile" and
there was no "App Groups" and "Entitlements" did not include
com.apple.security.application-groups.
So, I added following to the "Build Settings" of XYZUITests:
In the Code Signing Entitlements field (both Debug/Any SDK and Release/Any SDK)
I added XYZUITests/XYZUITests.entitlements.
Please note that I had copied XYZ/XYZ.entitlements as
XYZUITests/XYZUITests.entitlements to ensure that XYZUITests also had the
exact same entitlements as XYZ (the main app).
But under "Signing & Capabilities" Tab when Provisioning Profile is created
for XYZUITests, it throws this error:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: abc.XYZUITests" doesn't include the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement.
Short question is: how do I make the following work in UITests:
[NSFileManager.defaultManager containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"group.abc"]
Is it possible to achieve that within Xcode or with the free developer account?
Thanks.
