Apple Development Certificate

[Colin Holgate]

Not related to your question really, but for a long time now I’ve used Ad Hoc Distribution builds, instead of development builds. Then when I go to submit an app I only have to switch the provisioning profile, instead of both the certificate and profile. I’ve had cases in the past where at the last second I find out there isn’t a current distribution certificate!
