I’m about to build my first ipad application. I followed the steps listed here for creating the binary: How do I build an xcode project for the itunes store? (see first answer).
Unluckily, I get the already mentioned alert when trying to build on my ipad. I can build with the simulator, though, without any problem. Is it possible to make an app store build with an app store distribution profile on an ipad? When I select the distribution profile on the organizer, I read the text: This profile cannot be installed on devices.
Sorry if this is a question that has been asked before. I searched on stackoverflow and on the internet and couldn’t find any answer. By the way, I had created an ad hoc distribution and that worked perfectly on the ipad. I don’t have any Entitlements.plist since I didn’t need it for the ad hoc distribution.
You’ll need two provisioning profiles. The development one is for putting your app on devices for testing. The distribution is for submitting your application to iTunesConnect.
You have to swap between the two provisioning profiles when you want swap between putting the app on the device and the store. Consider creating targets to achieve this.
