iOS TestFlight/Ad-Hoc distribution ???s

Longtime TestFlight user - just started using it again. I like the integration with AppStore.


The problem is, I need to distribute Ad-Hoc IPA's in additon to TestFlight builds (for iOS 7.x devices). I'd like to be able to just export the TF builds as ad-hoc, but this does not work. It seems now that TestFlight uses AppStore provisioning profiles, I need to re-build the app with separate ad-hoc provisioning in order to distribute for iOS 7 devices. This is not exactly ideal. Am I missing something?

I use the same Xcode archives to export both to App Store (TestFlight) and for ad hoc. When I click the Export... button in the Archives organizer it signs it with an ad hoc distribution profile. Do you have your provisioning profile set explicitly in your build settings? Mine is set to automatic.

Hmm, yes I have a specific provisioning profile for Release - The app uses APNS so I needed a profile that had that entitlement.
