Solution

  • If you want to test your application for final distribution, you can achieve it with TestFlight like @Amit explained.

    More precisely :

    • Use Production Certificate
    • Archive your App
    • From the Organizer (Window tab -> Organizer) you can see all your builds archived.
    • Then you can export the one you want to test, pick the AppStore Deployment option.
    • Finally you have to use Application Loader (Xcode tab -> Developer Tool).

    It will upload your archive, the ipa file on iTunesConnect.

    From there, your newly uploaded build is available for testing. You will receive an email and notification from TestFlight.
