Provisioning
A provisioning profile is a collection of digital
entities that uniquely ties developers and
devices to an authorized iPhone Development
Team and enables a device to be used for
testing.
A Development Provisioning Profile must be
installed on each device on which you wish to
run your application code. Each Development
Provisioning Profile will contain a set of iPhone
Development Certificates, Unique Device
Identifiers and an App ID.
Devices specified within the provisioning
profile can be used for testing only by those
individuals whose iPhone Development
Certificates are included in the profile. A single
device can contain multiple provisioning
profiles.

16. 2.2. Simulator
X-Code
The Xcode developer tools package provides everything you need to create great
applications for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

shows how your app’s user interface looks when the user launches your
app during a call.
• Simulate Hardware Keyboard. Toggles the software keyboard on an iPad
simulator. Turn off the software keyboard to simulate using a keyboard
dock or wireless keyboard with an iPad device.
