How-to Fix: The application-identifier entitlement is not formatted correctly
A new error has started showing up when submitting iPhone Apps through iTunes Connect:
“The application-identifier entitlement is not formatted correctly; it should contain your 10-character App ID Seed, followed by a dot, followed by your bundle identifier.”
From what I can tell, the way to fix this to create a NEW entitlements file (see my previous post on creating adhoc builds for instructions on how to do this). Â Previously we’d only had to create an entitlements file and uncheck “get-task-allow”.
However now it appears you also need to add a new “keychain-access-group” and add an item which includes your App Identifier (get this from the iTunes Provisioning Portal) and your bundle identifier (com.mycompany.bundle_name).
See an example below:

You can also use a string key called “application-identifier” with the same value in it.
