Inquiry regarding Local Push Connectivity Entitlement

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your support.

I have reviewed the documentation for Local Push Connectivity (see URL below) and, following the instruction in the "Important" section to "Request this entitlement from the Entitlement Request Page," I completed the application process for this Entitlement on March 11, 2026.

[Local push connectivity]

Subsequently, on March 13, 2026, I received the following reply from Apple:

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in the Local Push Connectivity entitlement. Your entitlement request has been approved for:

Team ID: NWKYYYYYYY

Technical documentation on this API is available here:

My understanding is that upon approval of this application, an "Entitlements" field should be added to the input fields for creating provisioning profiles. However, as of today(March 18, 2026), it has not yet been added. Will the Entitlements field be added if I simply wait?

My account (Apple ID), which submitted the application, belongs to three Team IDs. For convenience, I will refer to them as Team ID SV3XXXXXXX, Team ID NWKYYYYYYY, and Team ID WEJZZZZZZZ. The application status for Entitlements for each Team ID is as follows:

Team ID SV3XXXXXXX

  • Entitlements: Present.
  • Applied for Entitlements on February 6, 2021. (Received "Re: Requesting Network Extension App Push Entitlement" email on February 6, 2021)

Team ID NWKYYYYYYY

  • Entitlements: Not present.
  • Applied for Entitlements on March 13, 2026. (Received "Re: Requesting Network Extension App Push Entitlement" email on March 13, 2026)

Team ID WEJZZZZZZZ

  • Entitlements: Present.
  • No record (email) of applying for Entitlements.

Because of this, I am concerned that the Entitlements applied for Team ID NWKYYYYYYY may have been mistakenly granted to Team ID WEJZZZZZZZ, and I am inquiring about this.

Will the Entitlements field for Team ID NWKYYYYYYY be added if I simply wait?

Thank you in advance.

Our records show that Team ID NWKYYYYYYY already has access to the entitlements need to use NEAppPushProvider. In Xcode’s Signing & Capabilities editor, it should show up as Network Extension (additional values). Likewise in the App ID editor on the Developer website.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I apologize. There was an error in my previous question, and I'm correcting it. The correct information is as follows:

Team ID SV3XXXXXXX

  • Entitlements: Present.
  • Approved for Entitlements on April 28, 2021. (Received "Re: Requesting Network Extension App Push Entitlement" email on April 28, 2021)

Team ID NWKYYYYYYY

  • Entitlements: Not present.
  • Approved for Entitlements on March 13, 2026. (Received "Re: Requesting Network Extension App Push Entitlement" email on March 13, 2026)

Team ID WEJZZZZZZZ

  • Entitlements: Present.
  • Approved for Entitlements on February 6, 2021. (Received "Re: Requesting Network Extension App Push Entitlement" email on February 6, 2021)

In my initial question, I stated that for WEJZZZZZZZ, there was "No record (email) of applying for Entitlements," but this was incorrect, as it turns out approval was granted. I apologize for the correction.

However, my question remains the same: Will the Entitlements field for Team ID NWKYYYYYYY be added if I simply wait? The permissions haven't become active even though approval was completed 5 days ago. Is it just taking some time for them to become active?

Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Quinn,

In February 2021, when an Entitlement was added to Team ID WEJZZZZZZZ, I received the following email from Apple and learned how to add the Entitlement to a provisioning profile:

Hi,

Does Apple add entitlement to my team ? (== App ID: WEJZZZZZZZ)

Yes, the entitlement was actually added to your “team”. That gives you the ability to add the entitlement to any app that’s managed by your “team”.

Here is the configuration information you can use to check the current status and/or configure your own project:

-To use the entitlement, you need to codesign your app with a provisioning profile that includes it. In the Apple developer portal website, you’ll need >to do the following:

  1. In the “Provisioning Profiles” section, click the “+” and to create a new profile

  2. In the “What type of provisioning profile do you need?” section, select “iOS App Development”

  3. Walk through the creation process and directly after the “Select devices.” section, you should see a new section titled “Do you need additional ent>itlements?”.

  4. In the new section, there is an “Entitlements:” popup, which will include list the new entitlement.

…and continue the process from there to generate the necessary provisioning profile.

To use the profile in your project, this is the process I recommend

This time, an Entitlement has been added to Team ID NWKYYYYYYY. Has the method for adding the Entitlement to a provisioning profile changed since February 2021? I have tried the same method, but the "new section" mentioned in

"4) In the new section, there is an “Entitlements:” popup, which will include list the new entitlement."

does not appear for Team ID NWKYYYYYYY.

NEAppPushProvider. In Xcode’s Signing & Capabilities editor, it should show up as Network Extension (additional values). Likewise in the App ID editor on the Developer website.

If there have been changes to the procedure and the above operation is now required for Team ID NWKYYYYYYY, please provide detailed instructions.
