iOS deployment question

[William Prothero]

I can see, after Googling around a bit, that getting the certificates signed and set up correctly is quite complicated, with lots of ways of going wrong. With out-dated certificates, old provisioning profiles, etc.

I wonder if there is a way to make this more robust and transparent. Like some app that will go through the settings, certificates, and provisioning profiles and give a diagnostic. Or perhaps, could the Livecode diagnostics give more information to help figure out what’s going wrong? This seems like a real need to me.

Maybe it’s too much to hope for. It takes me a day or two of hair-pulling to get this set up after being away from making iOS apps for awhile. 

Best,
Bill
