Missing entitlement - 'UIBackgroundModes' value 'workout-processing' without the required entitlement 'com.apple.developer.healthkit'
I have released my app a couple of times and had the process under control until most recently when I updated from XCode 9 to XCode 10 due to a 3rd party lib requirement.
Everything seems fine when I compile and run on the emulator; but, when I come to the "Validate" (Archive) the app prior to uploading to the app store I am getting an error.
My Setup:
- MacOS 10.14.2 (Mojave)
- Using XCode 10.1 (10B61)
Error message:
Missing entitlement. watchOS extension 'XXX.app/Watch/aw-xxx.app/PlugIns/aw-xxx Extension.appex' uses 'UIBackgroundModes' value 'workout-processing' without the required entitlement 'com.apple.developer.healthkit' signed into the bundle.
Watch Extension Capabilities:
The app is built using cordova-8.1.1 and cordova-ios-4.5.5
cordova build ios --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'
In addition to that, the project on XCode 10 has been set to 'Legacy Build System' on File -> Project Settings.
Lastly, the 'aw-xxx Extension.entitlements' has the 'HealthKit' key value set to 'YES' under the 'aw-xxx Extension' folder as one could expect.
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
I'm happy to provide more info, logs, etc as well, thanks!
After following the comment below I managed to get my app to validate once again on XCode 10:
Hi @guikeller Just wondering if it is related. I had similar issue while doing a ionic cordova app release. I figured the com.apple.developer.healthkit is missing in my platforms/ios/myApp/Entitlements-Release.plist. It does exist in Entitlements-Debug.plist. All I did is copied the key from the debug file to release and app store accepted it.

In addition to that, I was also able to submit my app into the app store.
