I ran into the same "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application" problem, but the above solutions did not work for me.

I could not find very good documentation about this error or even just the key "aps-environment".

After some tinkering around, here is what solved the problem for me:

Open your development provisioning certificate, "Appname.mobileprovision" with a text editor, look for the key "Entitlements" then add all of the values found here to your Entitlements file referenced by your Code Signing Entitlements setting.

Here is an example of what keys/values you'll find inside:

application-identifier
xyz.com.xyz.xyz
aps-environment
development
com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers

xyz.*

com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier
xyz.*
get-task-allow

keychain-access-groups

xyz.*

After adding all of these values to my Entitlements file my app builds successfully and I can finally get back to working on Push Notifications.

I'm not sure if these values are supposed to be automatically added to your entitlements file by XCode, but they certainly weren't being generated for me in my project.
