Should I use iOS Distribution or Apple Distribution certificates for a mobile app?

Solution 1:

Looks like Apple Distribution and Apple Development are only supported on Xcode 11 which means you won't be able to use those certificates in Xcode 10 or below.

Xcode 11 release note:

Xcode 11 supports the new Apple Development and Apple Distribution certificate types. These certificates support building, running, and distributing apps on any Apple platform. Preexisting iOS and macOS development and distribution certificates continue to work, however, new certificates you create in Xcode 11 use the new types. Previous versions of Xcode don’t support these certificates. source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_11_release_notes
