Automatic signing: benefits and limitations on teams
WHAT IT TESTS: managing signing across a team. OUTLINE: automatic signing creates certificates and profiles on demand and keeps them in sync, easing local setup; limits include proliferating certificates, weak CI fit, and less control for complex entitlements.
WHAT IT TESTS: trade-offs of automatic versus managed signing in collaboration. ANSWER OUTLINE: team pain points are sharing certificates and private keys, regenerating profiles when devices or capabilities change, and mismatched local setups. Automatic signing lets Xcode create and register certificates and provisioning profiles on demand per developer and update them as entitlements change, reducing manual portal work.
