Product:iTunes Connect Product Version:Xcode-8 (8A218a)
Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I use the page located at iTunes Connect > My Apps > (App) > Activity > All Builds > (Build) to check the configuration for my app. Until recently it displayed the value of the com.apple.developer.default-data-protection entitlement in the build’s provisioning profile. It was useful to check that the build had the correct value before submission, especially as we’ve been bitten a few times by this issue: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/63596#63596. 

Now that setting isn’t being displayed, even though I’ve confirmed it set both in the App ID section in Member Centre and in the provisioning file that was used to create the uploaded archive.

This may be related: in Xcode, the entitlement is also no longer listed when inspecting the summary of the IPA prior to submitting it to the store.

I’ve double checked the archives that I’m creating and the embedded.mobileprovision file definitely has the correct entitlement within it. 

Without either method of validating the submitted value of this entitlement I’ve no way of knowing whether the app I’m distributing to my users has the correct entitlement.

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up an app with a Data Protection entitlement (e.g. NSFileProtectionCompleteUntilFirstUserAuthentication), and upload a build to iTunes Connect.

Expected Results:
In iTunes Connect > My Apps > (App) > Activity > All Builds > (Build), somewhere on the page the value for the Data Protection entitlement should be displayed (and it should be NSFileProtectionCompleteUntilFirstUserAuthentication).

Actual Results:
This entitlement is not reported.

Regression:
This was definitely displaying a few months ago.
