iOS代码签名身份

Question

My Xcode 4.6 iOS project has "PROJECT" and "TARGETS" sections, each of which has a "Debug" and "Release" area under "Code Signing Identity" with an "Any iOS SDK" entry.

1. Currently, I specify my Developer or Distribution provisioning profile in all four of the slots under PROJECT and TARGET. I believe that each provisioning profile really only needs to be placed in one position.
2. Whenever I update a provisioning profile because it is expiring, I am adding additional development devices, or I am adding additional AdHoc test devices, it is always painful. Xcode never allows me to simply choose "iPhone Developer". I always have to navigate to the correct provisioning profile by name. Furthermore, I have to delete the old provisioning profiles before I import the new ones, otherwise the old ones will continue to get used.

It all looks something like this:

PROJECT
    myProject
        Code Signing
            Code Signing Identity
                Debug               iPhone Developer
                    Any iOS SDK     iPhone Developer
                Release             iPhone Distribution
                    Any iOS SDK     iPhone Distribution
TARGET
    myTarget
        Code Signing
                Debug               iPhone Developer
                    Any iOS SDK     iPhone Developer
                Release             iPhone Distribution
                    Any iOS SDK     iPhone Distribution

So, here are my summarized questions:

1. On which line should I specify the provisioning profile?
2. What is the best way to import an updated provisioning profile into Xcode?

Answer 1

1. On which line should I specify the provisioning profile?

Firstly, you are not obliged to set provisioning profiles in the PROJECT section. I always set them in the TARGET section. Now if your are developing, you should set the:

Any iOS SDK     iPhone Developer

Under Debug . And if you are preparing Adhoc, you need to set:

Any iOS SDK     iPhone Distribution

Under Release .

2 .What is the best way to import an updated provisioning profile into Xcode?

Go to Organizer , click Devices tab, then hit the New button at the bottom, you will be prompted to sign in your Apple account. Then I think profiles will be imported, click Refresh button to see added profiles.
