# Mobile Provisioning Profile

A mobile provisioning profile is a file generated and signed by Apple that lists the devices where an App can be installed.

Here there are also 2 approaches that you can follow to create this file.

* Apple Developer Account\
  If you have a paid Apple Developer Account, you can create this file in your Apple Developer Account.<br>
* Using Xcode\
  If not, or simply if you just prefer to use Xcode, you will need to connect your iOS device to Xcode and use Xcode to do this.

5-Enter the *Organization Name*, and the *Organization Identifier,* for example **com.yourcompany**

(it is advised to use all in lowercase letters for project name and organization identifier)

\

9-Then press the **Play** button to test the App on your device\
10-Follow any additional necessary steps to install and test this App on your iOS device\
11-Uninstall this App from your iOS device so you can latter install KClient

Once this is done, go to:

Finder and open folder \
"/Users/\[your user name]/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles"

for macOS 15 (Sequoia) \
"/Users/\[your user name]/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles

or

Open Terminal and type\
&#x20;`open Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/`&#x20;

for macOS 15 (Sequoia) \
&#x20;`open  Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles`

\
In this folder, the most recent file should be the needed mobile provisioning profile.

Copy that file into your PC where you have Kalipso Designer.
