Firebase causes issue “Missing Push Notification Entitlement” after delivery to itunes connect

Question

As you may be aware, Google starts to use Firebase as analytics so I want to use it in my current project. I succesfully finished the implementation and upload project to iT

Solution:

• Make sure your app does not utilize Firebase Cloud Messaging;
• In your Xcode project, select the application target;
• Go to Info tab (alternatively, select Info.plist in Project Navigator);
• Add FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled and set it to NO;
• Go to Capabilities tab and turn ON Push Notifications capabilities;
• Re-generate provision profiles.

Objective: While this issue does not mean that your app will be rejected, the email is sent to everyone who has access to the app record on App Store Connect. For corporate team accounts this usually means that management stuff gets this "We have discovered one or more issues" email. For them it usually means that development team does something wrong. Hence, I've been asked to get rid of it.
