About provisioning profiles for distribution

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi,

When I want to publish an app to the App Store I follow the steps to create the ID, bundle and provisioning profiles, after that, when building the app for iOS I can see the corresponding distribution profile for distribution in the “Code Signing Identity” field from the “Build for iOS” window in Corona (File > Build > iOS).

That’s OK and it works but I was wondering, is it possible to build and app with someone else’s provisioning profiles?

I’m asking because I have this case where a client doesn’t want to be registered as an iOS developer because he already have another provider publishing apps for him (under the other provider’s account / name).

What can I do if the other provider doesn’t use Corona SDK?

What about Android? Is it possible to do something similar, ie. using someone else’s private keys to sing / build the app for distribution?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Paolo

Hi,

If you want to build Iphone application with someone’s else provising profile you need his id and password for it.

Corona SDK is not like every user have to use it by installing it but once you upload by means of developer account and register his id, He will be able to see the app in the specific phone whose udid is registered in the provisioning profile.

Same way you can use anyone’s android id.

Thanks
