App Store & Enterprise Distribution
Navigate the complexities of provisioning profiles, certificates, and the processes for distributing apps via the App Store or enterprise programs.
Getting Your App Out There
Welcome to the final stage of app development: distribution! This lesson will guide you through the essential components and processes for getting your Objective-C app into the hands of users, whether through the official App Store or within an enterprise.
Understanding how to properly sign and provision your application is crucial for successful deployment.
Digital Identity: Certificates
Before your app can run on an iOS device or be submitted to the App Store, it needs a digital signature. This signature verifies that the app comes from a trusted developer (you!)
- Developer Certificate: Used for signing apps during development and testing on your registered devices.
- Distribution Certificate: Used for signing apps for public release (App Store) or in-house enterprise distribution.
These certificates are issued by Apple and reside on your Mac.
