Entitlements define platform capabilities. Unexpected additions or removals between testing and release can change behavior.
Evaluation approach
Version the expected set and compare it with the final signed package after protection.
Application example
Retest links and sharing when Associated Domains or App Groups change.
Limits and considerations
Declaring a capability does not provide server-side business authorization.
Reviewing entitlement differences
Map each change to affected product behavior. Unexpected privilege expansion and missing essential capabilities can both create release risk.
Checks and decisions
- Record expected entitlements
- Compare final packages
- Test affected flows
