'Missing Push Notification Entitlement' for iOS standalone build

Environment

  OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
  Node: 8.11.2
  Yarn: 1.7.0
  npm: 5.6.0
  Watchman: 4.7.0
  Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b
  Android Studio: Not Found

Packages

  expo: ^28.0.0 => 28.0.1
  react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1
  react-native: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-28.0.0.tar.gz => 0.55.4

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a standalone build using exp build:ios and allow Expo to manage all certificates and profiles
2. Upload the build to iTunes Connect

Expected Behavior

The build is processed without issues and available for TestFlight submission.

Actual Behavior

I get a warning email from iTunes Connect:

Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment" entitlement.

If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service, make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning profile that includes the "aps-environment" entitlement.

Xcode 8 does not automatically copy the aps-environment entitlement from provisioning profiles at build time. This behavior is intentional.

In order to fix this, you need to enable “Push notifications” for your app on the app store.

1. Login to https://developer.apple.com/
2. Go to the “Certificates, Identifiers and Profiles” section
3. Select “App IDs” in the Identifiers section on the left column
4. Choose your app ID, edit it and check “Push Notifications”. Save changes
5. Generate a certificate for the production push service: go to the “Certificates” section, and follow the assistant to add a “Apple Push Notification service SSL (Sandbox & Production)” certificate for your app. Acute readers will notice that expo does not need this certificate since it uses a key to talk to Apple directly

TL;DR: Expo needs to enable the “Push Notification” service when creating the app in the Apple Developer Portal

I have the same problem. I do not use Push notifications. In developer.apple.com it states that Push Notifications are disabled. Do I understand it correctly that I need to enable them to work with Expo (although I do not use it) or do I need to change something in my development environment? and if the second is true, what? I have btw no problems submitting the app and testing it in Testflight
