In my Xcode 4.2 project, I’ve created an Ad Hoc configuration and want to add the code signing entitlements file to the project, which is usually named Entitlements.plist.

In the past, I create this by selecting a folder in the project tree on the left, then context clicking, selecting “New File…”. In the dialog that comes up there’s usually a “Code Signing” entry in the iOS tree of the left — but it’s missing now.

The items that are there are as follows:

Cocoa Touch
C and C++
User Interface
Core Data
Resource 
Other

I’ve googled for a solution, and searched on Stackoverflow, but not turned up an answer.

I know that I could create an empty plist manually, and just put in the usual default data which is findable on the web somewhere, but it’s bothering me that I can’t find the usual thing.

    Although I can’t find out an actual reference saying that the code signing entitlements template isn’t there any more by design, I have found a reference stating entitlements are not needed: https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/technotes/tn2250/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40009933-CH1-TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE-CODE_SIGNING_ENTITLEMENTS.

    So I’m assuming it’s by design in newer versions of XCode.
