Question

I was just looking around my iPhone and noticed that I have a profile named "In-House Distribution" installed (under Settings > General > Profile). It has a received date of November 18, 2013. The thing is, I have no idea where it came from. My employer didn't install it, I don't recall accepting any profiles, and I simply have no idea where it came from.

My question: Should I be worried about this?

Theories:

  • I understand that Apple uses "in-house distribution" provisioning for iOS developers. I don't develop iOS apps, but I am currently running the alpha version of the Stack Exchange iOS app (released in February 2014). Could this be the reason?
  • I do have a couple of favorites from Safari saved to my home screen for easy access; I may have saved the first of these around November. Could saving those links have caused creation of this profile?
Was it helpful?

Solution

if you don't know what it does, and its of no importance, simply remove it... also do a iCloud backup before
