Is it safe to export apple developer account from Xcode

Question

Our vendor is asking us to export developer account from Xcode. Is it safe to export developer account and provide .developerprofile file to them and if not what would be consequences of it.

Answer 1

Yes, it is potentially safe to export developer account from xcode. But exported developer account becomes vulnerable for misuse if they are not protected by a password. So to avoid misuse of your developer accounts, you should always protect it using a strong password.

One thing more, if your are exporting developer accounts, it will export all your developer account stored in your xcode preferences. It means the person who will use your exported developer accounts, will also get access to provisioning profiles and certificates for the developer account which he not meant for their use.
