Tips
- The Development Provisioning Profile, which is valid for one year, binds developers and devices to a specific development team.
- If your device does not appear in the list of available devices, add your device before creating your profile, or create your profile first and modify the profile after entering your device.
- Only agents and administration teams can create a Development Provisioning Profile. This profile contains the name, development certificate, device ID, and app ID.
- When selecting devices and certificates, select “all” the devices your team is using to perform the tests and select “all” certificates for the developer who is building the app.
- Once the administration team has created this profile, you will be able to download and install the profile on your device and test the app.
- If the administration team recently enabled app ID for the Apple Push Notification Service, make sure that the new provisioning profile contains the app ID. Provisioning profiles created before the app ID is enabled for APNS will not work when used to test APNS.
