Understanding Signing Identities and Provisioning Profiles
Before diving into the solution, it's essential to understand the roles of signing identities and provisioning profiles in iOS app development.
- Signing Identity: A signing identity is a combination of a certificate and a private key, used to digitally sign your app. It ensures that your app is from a trusted source and has not been tampered with since being signed.
- Provisioning Profile: A provisioning profile is a collection of digital entities that uniquely ties developers and devices to an authorized iOS Development Team. It allows you to run and test your app on physical devices and submit your app to the App Store.
