## What this error means

The app asks for a capability — push notifications, Sign in with Apple, associated domains… — that its App ID and provisioning profile don’t include.

## Why it happens

The entitlements file asks for a capability the App ID was never given, so the profile Xcode picked cannot sign that request.

## The message tools print

```
error: Provisioning profile "Harbor App Store" doesn't support the Push Notifications capability. (in target 'App' from project 'App')
```

## How to fix it

1. Enable the capability on the App ID in your Apple Developer account (Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles).
2. Regenerate the provisioning profile so it picks up the change, then build again.
3. If you don’t use that capability, remove it from the app’s entitlements file.
