Hi

I have an app up and running on the iOS app store. I would like to distribute a Mac desktop version of the app. I have created an app ID and certificates for distribution outside the Mac App Store and for the installer.

When I go to add a provisioning profile, there are only two choices:

Create a distribution provisioning profile to submit your app to the Mac App Store.
Create a provisioning profile to install development apps on test devices.

Neither of these is what I want to do. I wish to create a profile for distribution outside the app store, but that isn't an option.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

thanks,

David Powell

Did you try creating a developer ID signed archive/application with a "Developer ID Application" certificate (no profile...)?

Seen these docs?

If you’re distributing outside the Mac App Store then you’re using Developer ID. Developer ID apps neither require nor can use a provisioning profile.
