The client has given me the distribution profiles, how can i add the profiles in xcode 5?
As far as i know distribution certificates are responsible for distribution profiles. Importing distribution certificate enables and add all the distribution profiles in xcode. Without certificate distribution profiles can't be used.
Please correct me if i am wrong and suggest the work around for importing profiles in xcode 5. Deployment phase is new for me.
Thanks
Importing the profiles is just double clicking on them. You can't use the profile without the private key for the certificate that was used to generate the profiles. This need to be exported from the keychain (usually as a p12 file) and imported onto your development machine.
It is possible that the client exported a package containing all of this info using Xcode, then double clicking should install everything required.

No, importing one doesn't automatically import the other.
There are no workarounds, you need to be supplied with both the certificate (private key) and the profiles.
