Endpoint Security Entitlement request status.

No. The end result here is a provisioning profile template. This allows you to add extra entitlements to a profile when you create it via the developer web site. Xcode is not aware of these templates, so you’ll need to switch to manual signing.

Where can I read about this? It should be explained in the request approval email?
What will be my next steps once my request approved?

1. In the Xcode project switch to manual signing.
2. Go to Developer account -> "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles".
3. Click the "+" button, to register a New Provisional Profile.
4. In case if I want to register a profile for distribution, choose "Developer ID" option. Click the "Continue" button.
5. Select App Id, click "Continue" button.
6. Choose your "Developer ID Application" certificate. What if I have a certificate "With Kext"? Should I use it on this step?
7. Enter a profile name, click "Generate" button.

To ensure that I am able to use Endpoint Security Client entitlement do the next:

1. Download the generated profile.
2. Quick view it with the space button in Finder.
3. It should have "com.apple.developer.endpoint-security.client: true" listed in the "ENTITLEMENTS" section.

Are these steps correct?

Where can I read about this?

Documentation about this stuff is thin on the ground because special entitlements are… well… special. Most folks don’t use them, so the documentation focuses on the more common cases.

However, the main change here is the switch to manual code signing. Once you do that, the only step that’s specific to your special entitlement is that you have to add the template when you manually create the profile.

It should be explained in the request approval email?

I would expect so but I’m not involved in the approval process so I can’t discuss it in that level of detail.

Share and Enjoy
