我是否应该在Apple Dev帐户中创建一个单独的应用程序以测试生产应用程序的开发版本？

Question

I have an app in the app store that I built with Phonegap Build.

I'm working on the new version, and have realised that in order to debug it, it needs to be created with a dev cert.

Does this mean I need to set up a totally new app in my Apple Dev and iTunesConnect accounts that I upload my development version to in Testflight, and then create the production version to upload to the production app in iTunesConnect, or do I just have one app, and apply a development cert to the testflight updates that I'm uploading to it while testing?

I'm worried that applying a dev cert to the app in my Apple Dev account will turn the production app that's in the app store into a dev app.

Thanks for your time and help.

Answer 1

You need two certificates. A 'Development' and a 'Distribution'. You can create those via developer.apple.com under "Development" and "Production".

For each certificate you create a provisioning profile also on the website. Those you can then download through XCode.

In your project-file you then select the provisioning profile for the "Development"-certificate under "Signing(Debug)" and the one for the "Distribution" under "Signing(Release)"

Answer 2

We can give Test Flight with Production certificate.No need to create new app.In the same app we can give test flight.It wont affect to distribution app. Just go through test flight option in apple account.
