TestFlight Rejecting Build "get-task-allow" error

[Tobias]

So I'm using testflightapp to distribute an ad-hoc build.

But I keep getting this message: 'Invalid Profile: distribution build entitlements must have get-task-allow set to false.'

I don't have an entitlements file for my App, so XCode automatically produces one and includes it in the build.

I unzip the App.ipa and open up the embedded.mobileprovision file and look at the entitlement dictionary.

It looks like this:

<key>Entitlements</key>

<dict>

<key>application-identifier</key>

<string>E9PBH9V8TB.*</string>

<key>get-task-allow</key>

<false/>

<key>keychain-access-groups</key>

<array>

<string>E9PBH9V8TB.*</string>

</array>

</dict>

Anyone else experienced this before?

I don't understand why I'm getting this error.

Make sure you built the binary with the same signing identity they used when you exported the ipa. It's not the only way to get that error, but it's common enough.

If all else fails, switch to hockey app: http://www.hockeyapp.net

I've hit this before.

If I remember correctly, you need to create the entitlements.plist file yourself and edit it to set the get-task-allow to false (true by default).

Then in the code signing setting for your ad-hoc build, set it to use the entitlements.plist file you created.

Hey Anthony and Jamie,

Thanks for the responses.

Jamie you were correct. Turns out it was a code-signing problem. Had a mismatch between the my build-configuration identify and the identity I selected when saving the archive for distribution. The error message just threw me off. Thought I was going crazy, with false not being false.

I had created a TestFlight specific build configurations to easily turn off and on testflight analytics, and didn't double check the code-signing identity.

Jamie,

How do you like Hockeyapp?  We've been using Testflight for a while now and for the most part, seems to work ok but hockey app looks interesting.
