Manage provisioning profiles

Create a DriverKit development provisioning profile

In iPadOS 16 or later, you can develop drivers that run on iPadOS and macOS using DriverKit. The DriverKit development provisioning profile enables Xcode to easily provision your DriverKit extension for both platforms to support testing. Your bundle ID must have a DriverKit entitlement enabled to be eligible for a DriverKit development provisioning profile.

Note: To meet the signing requirements for release candidate apps, continue to use platform-specific provisioning profiles for distribution. If you’re using Xcode Automatic Signing, the appropriate provisioning profile type will be selected for the requested distribution type.
