What type of Certificate do I need to create?

I'm creating an app for a few users, literally 5 people, that will not be distributed via the App Store.

I created an "iOS App Development" Certificate previously for local development using my personal phone and Mac (hope that was right), and now I'm ready to actually send this app to my users.

There are a lot of choices at: https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/add/

Given my use case, do need to create a "Developer ID Installer" or "Developer ID Application" Certificate? Being new to native mobile development, I'm not sure which one to choose.

Frankly, I'm not even sure how to distribute the app to them yet, but I'm assuming that question probably has some overlap with the type of Certificate I need to create?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

You can distribute app using same "Development Certificate". You just need to add testing devices udids in device section of development portal and then include those devices in development provisioning profile of your app and replace profile with currently you are using.

I will recommend you to use "Distribution Certificate" and "Adhoc Provisioning Profile". cheers!
