What is a DEVELOPERPROFILE file?

Users typically create and import DEVELOPERPROFILE files to migrate a profile, which may be Apple ID, GitHub, or BitBucket Cloud credentials, from one computer to another. DEVELOPERPROFILE files are password-protected and signed with a private key for developer authorization.
