mobilefirst native ios keychain wrapper issue

Question

I am working on a project for a native iOS app using xcode to develop the project, but including both MobileFirst Platform Foundation capabilities and mobile data capabilities from Bluemix. We are using a shared git repository on IBM DevOps services (jazzhub) to share project source code and work collaboratively on it.

Most of the native apps I have built in the past have been on my own, so this is my first attempt to collaborate using git/xcode working together.

All that is just context for the issue, which is a project using the above environment on my collegues mac build/runs fine. Once I git clone the project and try to run it on my mac I am getting the following error:

*** Assertion failure in -[KeychainItemWrapper writeToKeychain], /tmp/builds/bld-00-20141218-1823-2824648/worklight-ios/framework-xcode-project/NativeSDK-Sources/WorkLight/KeychainItemWrapper.m:311

Above this message in the xcode log I see a secussful initialization of the Bluemix and the call to initialize the MFP connection:

2015-01-31 13:16:27.439 NativeApp[88827:11348297] INFO: IBMBluemix initialization successful.

    "application id" = NativeiOSApi;
    "application version" = "1.0";
    environment = iOSnative;
    host = "192.168.0.17";
    platformVersion = "6.3.0.00.20141218-1823";
    port = 10080;
    protocol = http;
    wlServerContext = "/MFProject/";
    wlUid = "wY/mbnwKTDDYQUvuQCdSgg==";
}

Before the MFP callback for initialization of the connection the application terminates with the keychain error.

I did not add the keychain access to the project, I'm using cocoapods to set-up bluemix support and wonder if that somehow is adding the keychain support?

I tried removing and running, removing then re-adding they keychain support in the project capabilities, all with the same error.

Is there something checked in and replicated by git that shouldn't be?

Thanks in advance!

Verify that the following Key exists under the Root key in both entitlements-debug.plist and entitlements-release.plist:

Key: keychain-access-groups
Type: Array

Inside the above Key:
Key: Item 0
Type: String
Value: $(AppIdentifierPrefix)worklight.group
