A: An application .app file is a folder that appears as a file on the MAC. The folder contains all the resources for the application.
Q: What is a Provisioning Profile? What is a .mobileprovision file?
A: A Provisioning Profile (.mobileprovision file) 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.
Q: I've downloaded the .app and the .mobileprovision file now what?
A: Drag and drop this file into the Applications folder, once you have connected your device to ITunes.
