@eskimo, here is the result of the development build: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> 				<key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> 				<string>EEEEE.x.y.z</string> 				<key>com.apple.developer.game-center</key> 				<true/> 				<key>com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers</key> 				<array> 								<string>iCloud.x.y.z</string> 				</array> 				<key>com.apple.developer.icloud-services</key> 				<array> 								<string>CloudDocuments</string> 				</array> 				<key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> 				<string>EEEEEEEEEE</string> 				<key>com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers</key> 				<array> 								<string>iCloud.xxx.yyy</string> 				</array> 				<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> 				<true/> 				<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> 				<array> 								<string>xxx.yyy.zzz</string> 								<string>xxx.yyy</string> 				</array> 				<key>com.apple.security.files.downloads.read-write</key> 				<true/> 				<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key> 				<true/> 				<key>com.apple.security.get-task-allow</key> 				<true/> 				<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> 				<true/> 				<key>keychain-access-groups</key> 				<array> 								<string>xxx.yyy.zzz</string> 				</array> </dict> </plist> It has com.apple.developer.game-center set. Older versions of Xcode would try to merge the entitlements… How older? I always trying to keep my Xcode up to date, but this problem seems exist for a long time. Do you have any method to eliminate com.apple.developer.game-center from exported app? App Review Board rejected my appeal with a templated email, now I'm stuck 😭 Kindly Regards, Yang

I did a clean build, in the exported build transcript, there are two commands contain the relevant xcent file: Entitlements: { 		"com.apple.application-identifier" = "EEEEE.x.y.z"; 		"com.apple.developer.game-center" = 1; 		"com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers" =		 ( 				"iCloud.xx.yy.zz" 		); 		"com.apple.developer.icloud-services" =		 ( 				CloudDocuments 		); 		"com.apple.developer.team-identifier" = EEEEEEEEEE; 		"com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers" =		 ( 				"iCloud.xx.yy.zz" 		); 		"com.apple.security.app-sandbox" = 1; 		"com.apple.security.application-groups" =		 ( 				"EEEEEEE.xxx.yyy.zzz", 				"EEEEEEE.xxx.yyy" 		); 		"com.apple.security.files.downloads.read-write" = 1; 		"com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write" = 1; 		"com.apple.security.get-task-allow" = 1; 		"com.apple.security.network.client" = 1; 		"keychain-access-groups" =		 ( 				"EEEEEEE.xx.yy.zz" 		); } 		builtin-productPackagingUtility -entitlements -format xml -o [USERHOME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[APPWORKSPACE]-ftmmaepwxuqgfmgphytjtotwjrsu/Build/Intermediates.noindex/[APPNAME].build/Debug/[APPNAME].build/[APPNAME].app.xcent and: 		cd [USERHOME]/[APPWORKSPACE] 		export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate 		 Signing Identity:		 "Apple Development: Yang (XXXXXXXXXX)" Provisioning Profile: "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: [APP ID]]" 											(xxxxx-yyyyy-zzzzz-wwwww) 		/usr/bin/codesign --force --sign EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE -o runtime --entitlements [USERHOME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[APPWORKSPACE]-ftmmaepwxuqgfmgphytjtotwjrsu/Build/Intermediates.noindex/[APPNAME].build/Debug/[APPNAME].build/[APPNAME].app.xcent --timestamp=none /[USERHOME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[APPWORKSPACE]-ftmmaepwxuqgfmgphytjtotwjrsu/Build/Products/Debug/[APPNAME].app Both Entitlements: section and [APPNAME].app.xcent have com.apple.developer.game-center set. No idea what builtin-productPackagingUtility exactly do, and seems the first command has no input, maybe Entitlements: section is the input? Kindly Regards, Yang

@eskimo I notice Entitlements.plist file in following command also have com.apple.developer.game-center set to true: WriteAuxiliaryFile [USERHOME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[APPWORKSPACENAME]-ftmmaepwxuqgfmgphytjtotwjrsu/Build/Intermediates.noindex/[APPNAME].build/Debug/[APPNAME].build/DerivedSources/Entitlements.plist (in target '[APPNAME]' from project '[APPNAME]') 		cd [APPWORKSPACE] 		write-file [USERHOME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[APPWORKSPACENAME]-ftmmaepwxuqgfmgphytjtotwjrsu/Build/Intermediates.noindex/[APPNAME].build/Debug/[APPNAME].build/DerivedSources/Entitlements.plist

@eskimo I checked the Code Signing Entitlements build setting (CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS), and I confirm that I have the right file. Since the forum does not support attaching screenshot, I wrote a letter with screenshots to you, I hope you'll take the time to read it. It's a macOS app, not a iOS app. Another macOS app of mine does not have the Game Center problem, it got reviewed and updated without problem. But its Game Center enabled on iOS, not macOS. My gut is telling me that this problem is related to App Identifier or Xcode didn’t fix this thoroughly. Thanks again for helping, Yang

@eskimo, I just requested a DTS as you suggested, the follow-up number is 744221113. Kindly Regards, Yang.Y
