How to test capabilities entitlements file?

What sort of test are you trying to do? A functionality test (that is, do the entitlements actually work)? Or just a static test of the entitlements? If it’s the latter, you can dump the entitlements with the following command:

$ codesign -d --entitlements :- /path/to/your.app

after which you can verify them however you like.

I want to do a static test, like

1. If Entitlements file is present or not. Most of the time i forget to generate it and ship the product.

2. In Entitlement file if Associated Domine is present or not and what is the value in it.

Here is what i came up with

NSString *contents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:entitlementFilePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

NSLog(@"Path:: %@",entitlementFilePath);

NSLog(@"contents::\n %@",contents);

if(contents==nil){

XCTFail("entitlementFile missing......at location: %@",entitlementFilePath);

}

if(![contents containsString:@"applinks:abc.mywebsite.com"]){

XCTFail("Associated domain not enabled ......>>>>>> abc.mywebsite.com entry missing in the file...");

}
