Should I use one iOS distribution certificate to sign different apps?

I just learned that you can only create a maximum of 3 iOS distribution certificates in the Apple Dev Center. I'm pretty new to iOS development, what is the common way to use the certificates? Should I create one distribution certificate to sign all my different iOS apps with it?

You can create one distribution certificate whereas make seperate provisioning profiles for all the apps. You can also let Xcode handle it and create the provisioning profiles automatically.

Yes, it's standard practice to just use one certificate to sign all distribution binaries.

I previously worked at 2 very large, prominent software companies and they both did it this way. Each had their own custom protocols/systems in place for limiting who could create binaries using the certificate.
