iPhone SDK: Can I deploy my app store version to my phone for tests?

Question

Just to make sure, that I don't miss something: Can I deploy my ready-to-be-uploaded app store signed version to my own phone again in order to make the final test? Currently I can't, catching "Entitlement error 0xE8008016". I'not appearing those problems with the AdHoc version of the app.

Regards

Answer 1

No, you cannot. You use a different certificate for signing the distribution version. If the only thing you changed in your final and distribution build was the signing identity, the app will run just fine.

Answer 2

That seems not to be true. I can if I use XCode... Confused

Answer 3

If you use "Build and Archive" you get the app added to the organizer. I think from there you can upload the app to the store and you can also create an ad-hoc version from the same binary. (The organizer will re-sign the binary with the correct key)
