Overview

Any application installation on iOS device requires a provision profile and a valid certificate.

A provisioning profile has a list of entitlements app can use on device and device list. When an application is being signed ( The studio signs an application automatically - for example - during installation), the difference between the entitlements in the old application and a newly signed application will be printed to the studio Log.

An app comes with a provisioning profile that developer used. 

When using the studio, there are several mismatches that can occur:

1. Installing app with instrumentation

2. Installing on a device 

Installing app with instrumentation

Instrumentation changes files inside app, therefore, causes re-signing the app

Installing on a device 

The app was first signed with the developer's profile. If this profile is restricted to certain devices - re-signing it with the current profile is required. 

Entitlements Troubleshooting

Using the ios.entitlements.fix.keychain property

The studio has the ability to automatically add the "allow Keychain access" capability when designing an app that had this capability in the original signing (when the app was created).

To do so, add the following property to the app.property file: ios.entitlements.fix.keychain=true.

Follow the following link to learn how to add properties in the app.properties file.

Basic Instrumentation

There is an option to instrument your application with basic capabilities only (doesn't include features like Simulate Capture, Mock Authentication). This option is recommended only when experiencing problems with the default instrumentation.

To set Basic Instrumentation, add the following line to the app.properties file: ios.instrument.with.basic.frameworks=true

Override Application Entitlements (advanced usage)

For advanced usage, you can import entitlements to your application during the installation process. This option is recommended only when experiencing problems with entitlements.

You must supply valid entitlements.plist file for your application.

To instrument applications with custom entitlements.plist you will need to add the property:
override.entitlements.file.path_<BundleID>=<Pathe_To_entitelments.plist> to the app.properties file.

For more information on that matter, contact technical support.
