We have created an iOS app for a client, which we would like them to code-sign and distribute.
What is the best method for this? If I Build and Archive, then Share and Save to Disk (no re-sign), I get the .ipa, as required. My question is how would a client then include their provisioning within this? Sending the code to the client unfortunately isn’t an option, as we need to keep the source.
Any help would be appreciated
Tell your client to create the provisioning profile.
The client would have to export his certificates and keys from keychain access and send you his certificates, keys and the provisioning profile. You can install everything on your machine, build the app with client’s profile and send the build.
This should be safe enough from client’s perspective as long as he does not share his apple password with you.
