Entitlements.plist not created properly

Question

reading the doc from apple I need to create an ad-hoc distribution app, and to do so I need the entitlements.plist. when i create a new entitlement, the value "get-task-allow" is not present, so I added by hand.. is right?? at the end the Entitlements.plist is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>application-identifier</key>
    <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)</string>
    <key>keychain-access-groups</key>
    <array>
        <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)</string>
    </array>
    <key>get-task-allow</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Answer 1

Try, in XCode, to go "new file" and in the wizard select "code signing". Select the "Entitlements" file type.

Just name it "Entitlements.plist". Make sure the task-allow is not checked for adhoc distrobution.

This is all you need to do, no need to "roll your own" :)

(Xcode 3.2.2)

UPDATE:

Since Xcode 4.2 the Entitlements.plist was removed from the "new file" menu. You now find it under: Project's Targets > Summary at the bottom of the page.
