I am using a third party library which has code for push notifications. But in our code, we don't have anything related to push notifications. So my profile is not enabled with APNS. When I try to push this to iTunes Connect for BETA TESTING, I'm getting below email from Apple. My question now is CAN I SUBMIT MY APP WITH APNS ENABLED even when I am not using push notifications? Will Apple reject my app if I do so?
Dear developer, We have discovered one or more issues with your recent
delivery for "Myapp Beta". Your delivery was successful, but you may
wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery: Missing
Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to include API used
to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app
signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment"
entitlement. If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service,
make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the
Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a
Distribution provisioning profile that includes the "aps-environment"
entitlement. See "Provisioning and Development" in the Local and Push
Notification Programming Guide for more information. If your app does
not use the Apple Push Notification service, no action is required.
You may remove the API from future submissions to stop this warning.
If you use a third-party framework, you may need to contact the
developer for information on removing the API. After you’ve corrected
the issues, you can use Xcode or Application Loader to upload a new
binary to iTunes Connect. Regards, The App Store team
1) Click on your project in Xcode (near the upper left hand corner of Xcode)
2) then click on Capabilities (near the top in the middle of Xcode)
3) Scroll down to Background Modes and expand to reveal the modes
4) Select Remote Notifications.
Doing this will give you the push entitlement and therefore the app submission should be ok.
Apple won't know you are not actually making use of push notifications, they will just be running a tool which detects you have push notification handling code in the app but don't have the push entitlement. Doing the above 4 steps should add the entitlement.
Hopefully that should be enough, however you may also need to enable push notifications in your provisioning profile. That's easy to do, the best overall guide to push which tells you how to do that is here:

i'm using the OneSignal API for Push Notifications in an Cordova App. My android is receiving notifications, but the iPhone isn't and i'm receiving this e-mail:
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for
"----". Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to
correct the following issues in your next delivery:
Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app includes an API for
Apple's Push Notification service, but the aps-environment entitlement
is missing from the app's signature. To resolve this, make sure your
App ID is enabled for push notification in the Provisioning Portal.
Then, sign your app with a distribution provisioning profile that
includes the aps-environment entitlement. This will create the correct
signature, and you can resubmit your app. See "Provisioning and
Development" in the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide for
more information. If your app does not use the Apple Push Notification
service, no action is required. You may remove the API from future
submissions to stop this warning. If you use a third-party framework,
you may need to contact the developer for information on removing the

My App ID is enabled for push notifications and i really don't understand why it isn't working.
You need to enable "Push Notifications" in your project settings. Check attached the screenshot.
I uploaded my app to the AppStore and I received an email stating that I am "Missing Push Notification Entitlement". I am not using push notifications, but I am using local background notifications.

It's Just a warning in case you intended to use push notifications and have forgotten the entitlement, if you do not require push notifications then you can ignore the warning.
If you do want to use push notifications however, you will need to add the relevant sections and permissions to your tiApp.xml file
You may still need to register your intent for notifications as per
this guide
If you are getting such email there might be the reason i listed below:
It might be because App Id you have used for this App in that You have enabled Push Notification.
So what happen with that is if you enable Push notification in App id & it will be not used in the App, They will expect it to be used once you enable.
If such issue i mentioned than you should edit App Id & disable Push notification.
I hope it will guide you.
I got a email from itunes connect with the following message:

But here is the funny thing I'm not using notifications it all. This what I have tried:
1.-I delete all the provisioning profiles manually and download them using Xcode (didn't work)
2.-I delete all the provisioning profiles manually and download from the apple developer portal (didn't work)
3.- I add it "DISABLE_PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS=1" to build settings (didn't work)
When I try to upload the app to itunes connect using Xcode is showing the provisioning profile XC:* I don't know if this has something to do with the Entitlement missing.
I as I said this app is not using push notifications on any way shape or form.
I'll really appreciate any pointers or work around this issue.
This is a bug from apple validator. Its coming from last 1 week. Read this blog
https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/11704#47536
If your application does not use notification then leave as it is. Apple will approve the app.
Are you using any libraries/frameworks/cocoapods? Maybe you have an analytics module (Crashlytics? Fabric.io?) that is registering your app for push notifications. Remove those and try again.
Do a search on registerUserNotificationSettings and see if anything pops up. If you're calling that API, the compiler is picking this up as a push notification app.
After uploading the App to AppStore, I am getting the following warning in an email, where as there are no Push Notifications in my App but there are some third party SDKs like Chartboost, Applovin, Revmob, Crashlytics etc. Has someone else also encountered this problem? If so, have you reached to some solution?

It means your provisioning profile does not support apns. create a provisioning profile with push notifications enabled and upload.
Check out for third party frameworks like
airpush
urbanship
etc...
These frameworks can register your app even though you don't register it in app delegate
Make sure push notification is disabled in these frameworks

So, Im not using any API with push notification, it could be default Intel XDK Cordova API, how to fix this alert or how to delete API?
It should not be included by default, so you may want to look at the project page and make sure that "Notification" is not checked. This is under Plugins->"Featured and Custom plugins"->"Intel XDK Plugins", near the bottom, so you'll need to scroll down on the right to see it.
