Getting the ...user-assigned-device-name entitlement?

I came across this whilst search how to request another entitlement...

https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656411

I have not yet had a response as to whether there exists a new process or we are still using the TSI route.

Good luck. I'll be watching this thread :)

I have the same issue. UIDevice.current.name always callback iPhone

The process for requesting managed entitlements varies by entitlement. You can’t extrapolate from com.apple.vm.networking to, say, com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name.

With regards the latter, I don’t have any info to share on that front.

How can I use that entitlement? I need it for my app and I can't find related information.

What is the channel to be used to request for entitlement "com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name" to get the device custom name ?

What is the channel to be used … ?

Quoting my own post upthread:

This is definitely happening, but as per usual Apple policy I can’t comment on The Future™.

Actually I thought this had been resolved in The Present™, but it seems the timeline has been altered, and we all know from sci-fi how dangerous that can be. ;-) There was a post a few days ago from an  person announcing the URL of a page to request the entitlement. But that post has mysteriously disappeared, even though the linked page is still live. So I guess we can infer that last week’s Present is now this week’s Future.

But that post has mysteriously disappeared

Yep. There was a memo, but not all of us got it )-:

It seems that The Future™ is now. The docs for this just went live.

WWDC,

wwdc2022-10096 and 10068 it's great information, but we don't know how to fix on the "UIDevice.current.name" case and working with iOS16 (beta4 or next beta..x)

• Privacy is good reason for changes, but a lot of Apps to used on "UIDevice.current.name" on app.
• Our customers a lot of concern and don't know how to fix it before Apple release iOS16 soon.
• I implemented "com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name" on app, it's don't work.

I implemented com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name on app, it's don't work.

Please elaborate on “it’s don’t work”.

Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.yourdomain.yourapp" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name entitlement

Just to clarify, are you saying you applied for the entitlement, and received approval, and verified the entitlement is now present in your app ID and provisioning profile, and still got that error message?

a lot of Apps to used on "UIDevice.current.name" on app.

A question toward @eskimo that isn’t covered in the new doc: is this one of those features that still works the old way for existing apps built with an older SDK? Or will all existing apps get the new behavior when running on iOS 16?

We are developed app under "Apple Developer Program as an organization account" and [something went wrong]

Aha, maybe an issue with your developer program role. If I log into my personal account, then the entitlement request page works. But if I log into my company’s account where I hold the Developer role, then the same link leads to a “you don’t have permission for this” page. So I’m guessing the request needs to be submitted by an Admin or possibly App Manager.

I try to logic under "apple develop program" and found User Assigned Device Name Entitlement page and submit screen.

But, I changed account to "apple enterprise program" don't found submit screen. I'm login by "Account Holder" Roles (it's admin)

is this one of those features that still works the old way for existing apps built with an older SDK?

No. You get the iOS 16 behaviour regardless of your linked SDK.

Consider this sequence:

1. Use Xcode 13 to build a tiny test app that displays the device name.

2. Do a Product > Archive.

3. From the Xcode organiser, export a Development signed app (.ipa).

4. Use the Finder to install that on your iOS 16 beta test device.

5. Run it.

The app displays the generic name (iPhone), not the device’s real name (Scout in a Can).
