I am looking into some issues surrounding a build pipeline our team has created to push iOS applications to testflight. The specific issue that is being displayed is as follows:
ERROR ITMS-90174: "Missing Provisioning Profile - Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision."
We are able to successfuly upload to testflight from developers local machines but the IPA generated by DevOps cannot be uploaded in the same way, either through the pipeline or even locally. After some digging I believe the issue to be with the info.plist that is being generated for the xcarchive in azure. If I compare one that is generated by a developers local machine to the DevOps one I can see quite a bit of difference as shown below.

I don't personally understand how this file is generated well enough to figure out what needs to change. Below are some screenshots of the xcode build step in our build pipeline that hopefully provide some more context:
We also complete some tasks in the build to set several settings in the applications info.plist such as the bundle identifier and version but this doesn't seem to have much impact on the info.plist that is generated.
The appropriate apple certificates and provisioning profiles are installed earlier in the build also.
Any assistance with what might be the issue here as it's been a roadblock for quite a while at this point
