I want to create an iOS extension that requires application group capabilities. According to the list of Supported Capablilities, Application Groups can be used without a developer account. According to this document, this should be possible with an Apple ID account.
When I try to enable application groups for my application, it cannot:
Add container rights in apps for your app id
Communication with Apple failed
Answer to an Xcode question : Enable application groups without a developer account? , which states that a developer account is required, which contradicts the official documentation.
The Xcode question shows a warning after adding application groups (add the right to "Applications" to your application identifier) does not contain useful answers, since they also refer to an existing developer account. They indicate that the error message provided by Xcode does not help.
So my question is: how to actually use application groups without a developer account or is the official documentation wrong?
