com.apple.developer.mail-client entitlement issue
We have an app with the default email entitlement that was granted several years ago. During our latest deployment, we received an error from our pipeline. When testing a manual submission in Xcode, we saw this error:
Entitlement com.apple.developer.mail-client not found and could not be included in profile. This likely is not a valid entitlement and should be removed from your entitlements file.
We checked the provisioning profile, and the default email entitlement is still present. It is visible on the certificate portal and also in the embedded.mobileprovision file.
Can you suggest what we can do to release a new version of our app?
Thanks for the post, very interesting the entitlement worked until now without changing your provisioning profiles or being expired and renewed again?
I would recommend you to contact that team for them to check on your entitlement:
https://developer.apple.com/contact/topic/SC1102/subtopic/30072/solution/select
That link is to a specific support topic selection under our support pages. Manual navigation: https://developer.apple.com/contact/ > New Issue > Development and Technical > Entitlements.
Also, first you should go over Eskimo's post about entitlement as has steps to check on the entitlements: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/799000
Hope this helps.

What is the type (Development, Ad hoc, Distribution) of your provisioning profile?
The com.apple.developer.mail-client entitlement is only supported for apps built for Development and Distribution.

AppStore distribution
After the Easter weekend, it started working again. We changed nothing, so it appears that something was fixed on the App Store Connect side.
