Missing com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification Entitlement in Provisioning Profile

Hello Everyone,

I am currently building an app using React Native with Swift bridging, integrating VoIP functionality using Twilio, PushKit, and CallKit. I am encountering the following issue during development: "The current provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification entitlement."

What I’ve Done So Far:

1. VoIP Certificate: I have created a valid VoIP Services certificate in the Apple Developer portal.
2. Bundle Identifier and Provisioning Profile: A new Bundle ID was created specifically for this app. I created a provisioning profile for this Bundle ID and downloaded it for use in Xcode.
3. Xcode Capabilities

• Push Notifications: Enabled
• Background Modes: Voice over IP: Enabled, Remote notifications: Enabled

1. Entitlements File

I have an entitlements file named VoiceCallDemoProjectRelease.entitlements with the following content:

<?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>aps-environment</key>
  <string>development</string>
  <key>com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification</key>
  <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

This entitlements file is properly linked in the project’s build settings.

Project Setup I have integrated PushKit for VoIP push handling and CallKit for incoming call UI and control.

Problem:

1. In the Apple Developer portal under my App ID settings, I only see an option to enable Push Notifications.
2. There is no option available to enable Voice over IP, and therefore the provisioning profile generated does not include the com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification entitlement.
3. Despite enabling VoIP background mode in Xcode, adding the entitlement in my project, and using a valid VoIP certificate, the profile does not include the required entitlement.

Additional Information:

1. I am using an Individual Apple Developer Account, not an Organization account.
2. I have already attempted re-downloading the provisioning profile, restarting Xcode, and cleaning the build folder.

Question:

1. What steps should I take to resolve this and ensure that the com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification entitlement is included in my provisioning profile?
2. Is this limitation due to the type of developer account (individual vs. organization), and do I need to upgrade to an Organization account to access this entitlement?
3. Is there any way to request for 'com.appple.developer.voip-push-notification' entitlement to Apple Team ?

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Thank you.
