Enterprise Development Profile VS Enterprise Distribution Profile

We are using MDM solution to distribute the apps because it is secure and requires no user interaction.

Now we have been deploying App via MDM using Enterprise Development Profile instead of Enterprise Distribution Profile as we are in development. Everything is working fine. My question is: what difference will it make in both the cases if in one case, I use Enterprise Development Profile and in other case, I use Enterprise Distribution Profile ?

When you build an app with a development provisioning profile, you can debug it on the device. The development provisioning profile is the only provisioning profile that enables debugging on the device. With this type of provisioning profile, you can run your apps only on the devices included in the provisioning profile and you cannot publish apps in the App Store/MDM Store.

If you want to develop and distribute apps privately within your company or to a selected number of end users, you can use a provisioning profile for in-house distribution.

When you build and code sign an app with a pair of matching cryptographic identity and provisioning profile for in-house distribution, you can distribute the app outside of the App Store to the devices registered in your iOS Developer Enterprise Program. You can use an in-house cryptographic identity and provisioning profile to build and code sign private company apps.
