Hello
I signed up to the Apple Developer Programme last night.
I think I obtained a digital certificate successfully, but I am not sure whether I have completed the provisioning profile part correctly. I have been able to deploy something to my iPhone, so it must have worked, but I have two profiles visible in the organiser.
The first one is the one I created by going through the provisioning assistant on the developer centre website. I following the instructions and, when I was told to download and drag the profile into the Library area, I did so and it appeared.
I then assumed I would be able to run apps on my iPhone, but I received a message saying that my device didn't have an appropriate version of iOS on it. When I clicked on my iPhone in the explorer tree, the button saying something like "Make developer device" (can't remember exactly what it said now), seemed like it would do what I wanted, so I clicked it.
That seemed to do the trick because I could run apps on my phone, but I now have a second provisioning profile. The App identifier is the same, the name is "iOS Team Provisioning Profile", and every other field is the same other than the "Team" field which just reads "Unknown".
Is this anything to be bothered about or should I just forget about it because everything works? In a potentially related point; when I had to type in an App ID in the provisioning profile process, my book tells me the convention is normally something like "com.myname.appname", but the box turned red whenever I typed in a full stop and I wasn't able to click the continue button, so I just went with my surname in the end. Is this wrong and could it have caused the above?
Many thanks
Michael
