I am getting error while configuring Xcode provisioning profiles.

Provisioning profile $ProfileName doesn't include the com.apple.security.application-groups entitlement.

How to fix it. It seems my provisioning profile/certificate does not have some capabilities. How/where to add those capabilities?
