Xcode 8 Your development team, does not support the iCloud capability

Question

Good Morning,

I am having trouble with my iPad app this morning, I am trying to test it on a device and all of sudden I get this error message 'Your development team, "My Development Team", does not support the iCloud capability.'

I read somewhere I can just turn on iCloud capabilities by going to Targets -> Capabilities -> Turn iCloud on, the problem is I don't see an iCloud capability.

How can I add iCloud capability so I can run my app.

This is in Xcode 8.3.1

Please Help

Here is a screenshot of my capabilities, i dont have iCloud

Answer 1

I got the same problem two years later.

I think it came up because I started an iCloud testing in my project and didn´turn it off. Today I´ma developer without a paid account. And this probably caused this issue. iCloud capabilities are for paying developers only. And Apple obviously turns this feature off when you don´t want to continue paying. But Apple forgets to turn off a switch which is located in project.pbxproj .

You can go to this file by right clicking your project file myProject.xcodeproj and choose view package. You can use any text editor to edit this file. At about line 686 it says:

SystemCapabilities = {
                        com.apple.iCloud = {
                            enabled = 1;

That means com.apple.iCloud is enabled .

Change 1 to 0 which means com.apple.iCloud is disabled :

SystemCapabilities = {
                        com.apple.iCloud = {
                            enabled = 0;

See picture below. This corrected the issue in myProject.xcodeproj .

Hope it helps.

I believe this Apple document will help you. If you have any questions, add a comment, I'll try to help you.

Also, please be aware that if you are creating application for iOS, you should have paid developer account for using CloudKit. According to this document.
