ProvisioningA provisioning profile is a collection of digital entities that uniquely ties developers and devices to an authorized iPhone Development Team and enables a device to be used for testing.

A Development Provisioning Profile must be installed on each device on which you wish to run your application code. Each Development Provisioning Profile will contain a set of iPhone Development Certificates, Unique Device Identifiers and an App ID.

Devices specified within the provisioning profile can be used for testing only by those individuals whose iPhone Development Certificates are included in the profile. A single device can contain multiple provisioning profiles.

2.1. Real devices

X-Code

The Xcode developer tools package provides everything you need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

2.2. Simulator

iOS Simulator• Rotate Left. Rotates the simulator to the left.• Rotate Right. Rotates the simulator to the right.• Shake Gesture. Shakes the simulator.• Home. Takes the simulator to the Home screen.• Lock. Locks the simulator.• Simulate Memory Warning. Sends the app low-memory warnings. • Toggle In-Call Status Bar. Toggles the status bar between its normal state and

its state when a phone call or FaceTime call is in progress. The status bar is taller in its in-call state than in its normal state. This command shows how your app’s user interface looks when the user launches your app during a call.

• Simulate Hardware Keyboard. Toggles the software keyboard on an iPad simulator. Turn off the software keyboard to simulate using a keyboard dock or wireless keyboard with an iPad device.

• TV Out. Opens a window simulating the TV out signal of a device.
