Create a Provisioning Profile

If you haven't already registered the bundle identifier of your application with Apple, you first need to do that at Apple Developer Portal, Identifiers.

1. Visit Apple Developer Portal, Profiles.
2. Click on the blue "+" icon, next to the "Profiles" heading.
3. Select "Developer ID" or "Mac App Store" from the "Distribution" list, then click "Continue".
4. Select the application's bundle identifier from the list, then click "Continue".
5. Select the certificate, then click "Continue".
6. Give the profile a meaning full name, I find it best to include which distribution channel it is going to be used with. i.e. "Aqua Swatch - Mac App Store". Then click on the "Generate" button.
7. Click the blue "Download" button.

Add a Profile to the application

1. Open the application into App Wrapper.
2. Select "Provision Profiles" from the sidebar.
3. Drag the downloaded "provisionprofile" file into the drag area under the channel heading that it is intended for.
4. Verify that the expiry date is in the future and the code signing certificate doesn't have any problems.
5. Make sure the switch in the top right hand corner of the channel item is to the right.

Update a Provision Profile

If changes need to be made to the profile to allow usage of some Apple services. First visit Apple Developer Portal, Identifiers as what Apple services an application can use are set here. Once the identifier has been updated, please follow the directions to Create a Provisioning Profile, then replace the existing profile in App Wrapper with the freshly downloaded one.
