Hi @NGumby

You'd commonly name your files Entitlements.Debug.plist and Entitlements.Release.plist. Then set $(CodesignEntitlements) in a PropertyGroup that has a condition based on the TFM and the build configuration:

<PropertyGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-ios')) and '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">
    <CodesignEntitlements>Entitlements.Debug.plist/</CodesignEntitlements>
</PropertyGroup>

<PropertyGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-ios')) and '$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
    <CodesignEntitlements>Entitlements.Release.plist/</CodesignEntitlements>
</PropertyGroup>

It doesn't work, it randomly picks the entitlements from either debug or release, even if Build action is set to none. and the docs don't mention that you can do this : <ItemGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-ios'))"> <CustomEntitlements Include="aps-environment" Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'" Type="String" Value="production" /> <CustomEntitlements Include="aps-environment" Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'" Type="String" Value="development" /> </ItemGroup>
