Is Entitlements.plist still necessary for distributions in Xcode? I’ve had no problem building ad-hoc distributions without it, but some documentation and many posts still describe it as required.

    According to Ole Begemann you do not required Entitlements.plist for AdHoc Distribution:

    There is a link to Technical Note TN2250, which state the details:

    Code Signing Entitlements

    Previous to Xcode 4.x, it was required
    that the developer create a Code
    Signing Entitlements file in the
    Application Bundle for Ad Hoc testing,
    that defines the entitlement
    “get-task-allow” with a value of
    “false” (un-checked). However with
    Xcode 4 that is no longer required so
    long as the application is shared via
    deferred signing on the Application
    Archives panel in Organizer. See the
    section Using the Build And Archive
    feature of Xcode for Deferred Code
    Signing for more information.
