Adding Entitlements.plist crashes the IOS publish

Question

Adding Entitlements.plist crashes the IOS publish

Jai Holloway 60

I have just upgraded a .NET 8 MAUI app to .NET 10 and one of the requirements is that I have an Entitlements.plist file for access to the keychain.

My publish is failing with a missing ResourceRule.plist file, but I followed all the instructions of adding an entitlements.plist file. As a note, I created a new app and added Entitlements.plist to that, with the same entitelement and it crashed on the publish too.

I cannot publish and this is now urgent. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I went through your previous thread and there isn’t enough detail in the current info to determine the root cause yet.

To move forward, could you provide a bit more detail from your environment?

the full error output from the archive step (not just the summary line)

confirmation that Platforms/iOS/Entitlements.plist exists on disk at that exact path (not only visible in solution explorer)

whether you're using Pair to Mac, and if so, whether the file is present on the Mac build machine

whether your .csproj still contains any legacy settings such as:
<CodesignResourceRules>
(this is deprecated and can trigger misleading errors during the signing step)

Given the symptoms, this is likely related to how the entitlements file is being resolved during code signing rather than an actual missing ResourceRules.plist.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I can confirm that Entitlements.plist is in Platforms/IOS and that it is correct. What I saw from the previous AI answer is that the provisioning profile needs to have a matching entitlement. I can't seem to select the provisioning profile that I need, it is not in the list and when I manually enter it into my csproj the archive fails with no matching provisioning profile.
