Besides certificates, there are also __provisioning profiles__, which are basically the missing link between devices and certificates. Again, there are two types to distinguish between development and distribution purposes:

* __Development provisioning profile:__ It contains a list of all devices that the project is authorized to be built on. It is also linked to one or more development certificates, one for each developer that is allowed to use the profile. The profile can be tied to a specific app, but for most development purposes it's perfectly fine to use the wildcard profile, whose App ID ends in an asterisk (*).
* __Development provisioning profile:__ It contains a list of all devices that are authorized to install and run the software. It is also linked to one or more development certificates, one for each developer that is allowed to use the profile. The profile can be tied to a specific app, but for most development purposes it's perfectly fine to use the wildcard profile, whose App ID ends in an asterisk (*).

* __Distribution provisioning profile:__ There are three different ways of distribution, each for a different use case. Each distribution profile is linked to a distribution certificate, and will be invalid when the certificate expires.
* __Ad-Hoc:__ Just like development profiles, it contains a whitelist of devices the app can be installed to. This type of profile is used for beta testing (e.g. TestFlight). Note that due to Apple's acquisition of TestFlight, this is likely to change in late 2014.
