iOS code signing for a TestFlight release
WHAT IT TESTS: understanding Apple's signing model. OUTLINE: a signing certificate proves who built the app; a provisioning profile ties cert, app ID and devices together; configure in Xcode, archive and upload.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you know how Apple binds identity, app and device for distribution. ANSWER OUTLINE: a distribution signing certificate, backed by a private key in your keychain, proves the binary came from your team. A provisioning profile links that certificate, an explicit App ID and entitlements together so iOS will run the build. In Xcode you set the team and signing in Runner, then archive and upload the build to App Store Connect for TestFlight.
