Does iOS Enterprise Program allow to add entitlements to provisioning profiles?

Question

I am doing a research now for iOS inhouse app. And I may need to add an entitlement to my app to implement some functionality.

I know that it doesn\'t work with iOS

Answer 1

The standard iOS Developer Program DOES allow us to do "ad-hoc" distribution using an entitlements.plist

See here for example

And yes you can do ad-hoc provisioning in an Enterprise account too.

Answer 2

Enterprise program doesn't allow to add custom entitlements to your provisioning profiles. So, you can't create enterprise apps which have special entitlements.

One more additional note:

XCode allows to add entitlements file. However, it's rejected by iOS device, because entitlements in it won't match your provisioning profile.

Answer 3

You add entitlements to the project and not to the provisioning profile.
