itunes connect - beta entitlement missing error - ios

Question

I create a new App Store Distribution profile containing the beta entitlement to distribute builds via TestFlight, I create my application based on new profile that was contain beta entitlement, when I submit my application I got this error:
Generate a new App Store Distribution profile containing the beta
entitlement to distribute builds via TestFlight
Here is my provision profile:
<key>Entitlements</key>
<dict>
<key>keychain-access-groups</key>
<array>
<string>XXXXXXX.*</string>
</array>
<key>get-task-allow</key>
<false/>
<key>application-identifier</key>
<string>XXXXXXX.my.companyname.test</string>
<key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key>
<string>XXXXXXX</string>
<key>beta-reports-active</key>
<true/>
</dict>
I have "beta-reports-active" in my build, I do not know why I got this error I regenerate everything, does apple change/add something to the submission process/test-flight after 1 February without announcement?
Does anyone knows what is the problem?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I fixed this issue by additionally adding the beta-reports-active key to my Target's Entitlements.plist file in the Xcode project.
Apple TestFlight upload warning ITMS-90191: missing `beta-reports-active` entitlement
The beta-reports-active key must be added to the Provisioning Profile AND to the Target's entitlements.
TargetName.entitlements:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
// ...
<key>beta-reports-active</key>
<true/>
// ...
</dict>
</plist>
After adding the entitlement to my Target, I'm able to successfully upload the build to iTunes Connect TestFlight without the ITMS-90191 warning:

I'm using Xcode 9 and Swift 4
I also faced same issue when I try to create ipa file for my swift project. I search a lot but could not find any good solution. But finally my senior helped me same way as pkamb said in his comment, adding key "beta-reports-active" in your projectName.entitlements file will solve your problem. Open projectName.entitlements file as source code and edit it as follows.
My projectName.entitlements file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>beta-reports-active</key>
</dict>
</plist>
I just added key :- beta-reports-active as shown above.

Xcode 10: you must not add the beta-reports-active manually to entitlements if you want to use Xcode automatic signing.
