iOS push notification issue when submitting app

[Chris Sheffield]

This came up a couple weeks back I believe. I can't remember who posted about it. Was the issue ever resolved?

I went to submit an app update for One Minute Reader today and got this response back from Apple:

Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to include API used to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment" entitlement. If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service, make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning profile that includes the "aps-environment" entitlement. See "Provisioning and Development" in the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide for more information. If your app does not use the Apple Push Notification service, no action is required. You may remove the API from future submissions to stop this warning. If you use a third-party framework, you may need to contact the developer for information on removing the API.

It's not a big deal, and won't stop the review process, but I'm wondering why this happened. I was playing with push notifications a few weeks ago, but we decided not to use them this go 'round. So I deselected the option in the standalone settings and I revoked the cert in Apple's provisioning portal, thinking that was all I needed to do, but I still ended up with this problem.

Anyone know what I need to do to fix it for when we submit another update?

Thanks,
Chris
