Description

Not everyone is comfortable inputting the password to their Apple ID into an app like this, so my suggestion is being able to manually select a certificate and wildcard provisioning profile to use for all apps.

There are sites that sell access to a certificate and provide you with a wildcard provisioning profile, this would allow the use of those certificates and profiles.

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the existing Apple ID signing and provisioning flow, then define how manually selected certificates and wildcard profiles should be represented and validated; done should include using those assets for all apps without requiring Apple ID credentials.
