Background: trying to set up test-flight
for IOS development as an individual.
Problem:
In the Apple developer website,
while I can see my distribution certificate
and my developer certificate
under the Certificates
tab, when I try to generate a Provisioning Profile, it only shows the developer certificate
as an option but not the distribution certificate
(which to my understanding is what is needed to set up test-flight).
perhaps Apple is just taking a while to process the new distribution certificate
as I created it just now...?
any ideas? what might have I missed?
Maybe I am supposed to delete the development certificate
first?
