What Does Get-Task-Allow Do in Xcode

What does get-task-allow do in Xcode?

From this thread on ADC:

get-task-allow, when signed into an application, allows other processes (like the debugger) to attach to your app. Distribution profiles require that this value be turned off, while development profiles require this value to be turned on (otherwise Xcode would never be able to launch and attach to your app).

TestFlight rejecting build get-task-allow error

Turns out the Code-Signing Identity in my build configuration didn't match the one I selected when I saved the archive for Ad-Hoc distribution.

TestFlight iOS App get-task-allow Issue

It looks like there are several different issues that can cause this. Mine was similar to JosephH's, but not the same.

For me there was another provisioning profile that was valid, but from a different user. I have several apple accounts that I am a member of for development.

My build was using a different profile from another user account when it went to sign. This was even though I had told it which one to use in the settings.

I solved this by having to delete that other provisioning profile whenever I wanted to build this app for testflight. The provisioning profile would always come back if I did an update from the dev site for that other user account.

The final solution was that I happened to get a new mac for development and didn't install that other user account's profiles into this mac yet. Now everything builds fine without doing anything.

Why is get-task-allow not showing in my Entitlements.plist file?

The Can Be Debugged key is a user-friendly representation of get-task-allow.

Where can I enable get-task-allow in xcode 4.5 for iCloud debugging (with entitlements file)?

I finally found the problem.

'get-task-allow' seems not to be needed anymore. I manually created new certificates and removed the team identifier ID from my certificate list. Then it worked.

iOS provisioning get-task-allow AND Error : profile not valid: 0xe8008012

I figured this out. Somebody gave me a bad UDID number. To be frank, XCode could do a better job of managing these type of issues. It shouldn't take half-a-day to figure these things out!
