Can I use an Development certificate along with adhoc distribution provisioning profile to distribute my app to specific user?

I am trying to adhoc distribute my ios app. My admin to our dev portal created a adhoc dist provisioning profile. Can I use any cert(Dev or dist) to code sign my application? or it has to be dist cert? Thanks.

The short answer: you'll need a distribution certificate, with an ad-hoc provisioning profile that contains the target device's UDID. You can configure this on the dev portal.

Development certificates are purely for device development at your own machine. It does give you access to a limited number of devices to build your app on, but it isn't ideal for beta testing an app on.

Distribution certs and ad-hoc profiles are most commonly used with services like Fabric to beta test your app. You may also want to look into TestFlight to help distribute for beta testing.

Good luck!
