Creating a Development Provisioning Profile
After you have a development certificate, an App ID, and at least one registered device, you can create a Devel-
opment Provisioning Profile, which allows test builds on that device.
To create a new profile:
1.
On the Portal, select Provisioning from the list at the left.
2.
Select Development and New Profile, and complete the options shown in Figure 11.18:
Profile Name:
This is arbitrary. It's a good idea to use the current date, so you can see how old a pro-
file is when you're using it.
Certificates:
This field displays a check box for every registered developer in your team or a single
check box with your name if you're a solo developer. Select the developer(s) who will be allowed to cre-
ate test builds with the profile.
App ID:
Select an App ID for the profile. It's a good idea to use a suite/wildcard ID for testing.
Devices:
This field displays a check box for every registered device. Select one or more devices. Note
that the profile is valid only for the devices you select here; unselected and unregistered devices can't be
used for live testing.
