--- title: Entitlements framework: bundleresources role: symbol role_heading: Property List path: bundleresources/entitlements --- # Entitlements Key-value pairs that grant an executable permission to use a service or technology. ## Discussion Discussion An entitlement is a right or privilege that grants particular capabilities to an executable. For example, an app needs the HomeKit Entitlement — along with explicit user consent — to access a user’s home automation network. An app stores its entitlements as key-value pairs embedded in the code signature of its binary executable. You configure entitlements for your app by declaring capabilities for a target in Xcode; see Capabilities. Xcode records capabilities that you add in a property list file with the .entitlements extension. When code signing your app, Xcode combines the entitlements file, information from your developer account, and other project information to apply a final set of entitlements to your app. You typically let Xcode manage the entitlements file for you. For information on manually editing the file, see Editing property list files. ## Topics ### Essentials - [Adding capabilities to your app](xcode/adding-capabilities-to-your-app.md) - [Diagnosing Issues with Entitlements](bundleresources/diagnosing-issues-with-entitlements.md) -
