I am so much confused provisioning profiles that comes under Build Settings->Code Signing Identity and provisioning profile used for signing .ipa file.

Should I always use same provisioning profile for both?

If I select one Adhoc provisioning profile to sign .ipa file then how does the provisioning profile under Build Settings->Code Signing Identity matters/affect the build?

I am more unclear about the provisioning profile under Build Settings->Code Signing Identity.

Lastly, if I set provisioning profile under Build Settings->Code Signing Identity to Distribution profile and sign .ipa with Adhoc provisioning profile then should it work?

I think there is no difference how to sign the app: during the build process from Build Settings->Code Signing Identity or after building when you create the .ipa file. In case you re-sign the app under creating the .ipa, you will rewrite the information in app packatge to use new provision profile so the previous sign action will be no longer actual.

Lastly, if I set provisioning profile under Build Settings->Code Signing Identity to Distribution profile and sign .ipa with Adhoc provisioning profile then should it work?

Thus yes, it should work (If correctly understand the question). However, there are some limitations of Development/Distribution profiles. Maybe, following links will be helpful:

What is the difference between a development provisionong profile and a ad hoc distribution profile?

What is difference between .ipa with development provisioning and .ipa with adhoc distribution provisioning profile?
