what is iOS distribution and iOS distribution managed certificates in enterprise account

In the context of Apple's enterprise accounts, iOS distribution and iOS distribution managed certificates are part of the device management and deployment process. These certificates are used to sign apps for distribution within an organization, ensuring that only authorized apps are installed on managed devices.

Managed Apple accounts, as discussed in the session "What’s new in device management" at WWDC 2024, are designed for use in organizations like businesses or schools. They allow organizations to own both the account and the data within it, which is crucial for managing devices and deploying apps securely. The session also highlights the importance of using Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager to manage these accounts and devices effectively.
