To execute my application in iPhone first of all I have to add provisioning profile in to my iPhone. Good. But I don't understand the reason behind adding a entitlements.plist in iphone application in xCode under resources.
- What does that entitlements.plist file do actually ?
- Why that .plist file have only single Boolean in it ? (get-task-allow)
- Can't we add that Boolean variable to application-info.plist ?
I mean, I can't find the reason behind storing a single Boolean variable in separate plist file. Instead application-info.plist already contains many many application settings. Can't we just add this Boolean variable to application-info.plist.
Ok, any way. I know - it won't be possible. Because we have to follow - what apple says. But, here main intention behind all these was
- "what is the basic need of entitlements.plist ?" or
- "what is the functionality of entitlements.plist ?"
- "How provisioning profile, entitlements.plist, application-info.plist & iPhone application compile all together & make verification on iPhone & execute it on iPhone ? "
