Here are the basic steps for iOS provisioning:

1. Create an Apple Developer Account: You'll need an Apple Developer


Account to create and manage your digital certificates and
provisioning profiles. You can sign up for an account on the Apple
Developer website.
2. Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR): In order to create a digital
certificate, you need to create a CSR using the Keychain Access utility
on your Mac. The CSR is used to request a digital certificate from
Apple.
3. Create a Digital Certificate: Once you've created a CSR, you can use it
to create a digital certificate in the Apple Developer Portal. This
certificate is used to sign your apps and verify that they come from a
trusted source.
4. Create a Provisioning Profile: A provisioning profile is used to allow
your app to run on a specific device or set of devices. You can create a
provisioning profile in the Apple Developer Portal, and it will include
information about your app, your digital certificate, and the device(s)
on which the app can run.
5. Install the Profile on Your Device: Finally, you need to install the
provisioning profile on the device(s) where you want to test your app.
This can be done either manually or using an automated tool like
Xcode.

Keep in mind that there are several different types of provisioning profiles,
depending on the type of app you're developing and how you plan to
distribute it. For example, there are development profiles for testing your
app during development, ad hoc profiles for distributing your app to a limited
group of testers, and app store profiles for submitting your app to the App
Store for public distribution.
