Hi,

I can't create an ad-hoc distribution profile on App Store Connect.
I have registered different Mac UUIDs under my devices, but when I try to create a mac ad-hoc profile, I can't add them to the profile.
If I check "Include Mac Devices" they don't even appear.

Have you ever faced something similar? Is it a known bug?

I'm trying to distribute my Mac catalyst app to a few users with ad-hoc to try it out, but this seems impossible.

macOS ad-hoc distribution profile

macOS does not support ad-hoc distribution.

Perhaps you could share a suggestion for an alternative means of distribution?

That depends on what your goals are. macOS supports three distribution models:

Development
Mac App Store / TestFlight
Developer ID

Earlier you wrote:

Given those constraints, Development signing seems like the easiest option.
