Old Binary, New Provisioning Profile?

Do I really have to rebuild my iPhone application every time I update my ad hoc provisioning开发者_如何学Python profile? The only thing changed is the list of devices allowed to install/run the application. With other words, it is possible to distribute the old application with the new provisioning profile?

No, you do not have to rebuild the application.

As was stated in a previous answer the problem is the signing, which is something you can do with an existing app bundle, outside of xcode. For more info, the OS X 1.6.4 man page for codesign can be found at http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/codesign.1.html and a little google-fu looking for references to mac console codesigning will get you yet more info.

Yes, you do have to rebuild your application. The building process signs the executable with the provisioning profile, so a new profile means you need to re-sign the executable.
