We have a small team with few developers who need to be able to install an iOS app on their phones. They are part of our Apple Developer team and have "Developer" roles. How are they supposed to request (or create) Apple/iOS Developer certificates themselves? It seems that they don't have access to the certificate management, which makes sense, but at the same time I see no way for them to obtain a certificate for development.

I am struggling to find any information about that particular matter. So far I've found pretty much nothing. This is the closest I could get: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/DevPortalGuide/ManagingiOSDevelopmentCertificates/ManagingiOSDevelopmentCertificates.html

Any help is appreciated.

We have a small team with few developers

Just a quick reality check: Is this team an Organization team? Or an Individual team?
