Had a quick question, when I did my final build using my distribution profile and certificate, the app wouldn't install on my iPad using the Deployment option to install to connected device. Is this expected behaviour?

Hi,

When you sign the app with your distribution certificate it's not installable on your device. This is expected behavior. The only way to test on your device is by signing with your developer cert and profile.

Tiniest qualification to what iBrent said: You can use the Ad-Hoc provisioning file with the distribution certificate. That's pretty much identical to the App Store one, but works on the devices you set in the provisioning file. Often I will test with the distribution certificate and provisioning file, then go to the Ad-Hoc provisioning and distribution certificate. When it seems ready to ship I do one last build with the App Store provisioning file.
