Stumped that [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:nil] keeps returning nil

I have written a simple test application (Mac/Cocoa) to connect to the Key-Value store in iCloud. I seem to be falling at the first fence.

You can see the code for my simple app here and you'll see that I am not getting a URL back from "URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier" call.

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
    // Insert code here to initialize your application
    NSURL *ubiq = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:nil];
    if (!ubiq)
        NSLog(@"No iCloud");
    else
        NSLog(@"Yes iCloud");
}

Screenshot of the app running with output:

In term of trying to see if I've everything setup correctly I looked at the setup of my App Id (Test app is called Radio) in the developer provisioning centre:

So that seemed to be ok. Then I re-created my provisioning profile (called Radio Dev 2) and checked that it was using the correct App Id:

enter image description here

Ok, so that also seemed to be ok. I then checked that entitlements was switched on and Key-Value container was activated:

So they are activated. I then took a look at the file itself, just to see if anything jumped out:

So I couldn't see anything jumping out at me in the entitlements file. Lastly, I confirmed that I was signing the build with the correct cert using the provisioning profile that I expected:

I was happy enough with that.

So I'm stumped. I've regenerated everything, etc, to no avail.

I'd really appreciate if anybody has any ideas. Have I missed anything?

In my case, I implement the Parts "Add Document Type" and "Add Exported UTI" of Section "Configuring your Project for iCloud". And, it will not keep return nil anymore.

Damien's comment on the question had the solution for me. For anyone using Xcode 4.5, you need to click the + below the Ubiquity Containers box. Until I did that, nothing worked.
