Have you seen the nomad CLI tools for iOS development? They let you do things like:

Manage Devices

$ ios devices:add "iPad 1"=abc123
$ ios devices:add "iPad 2"=def456 "iPad 3"=ghi789 ...

Manage Provisioning Profiles

$ ios profiles:list

+----------------------------------+--------------+---------+
| Profile                          | App ID       | Status  |
+----------------------------------+--------------+---------+
| iOS Team Provisioning Profile: * | ABCDEFG123.* | Valid   |
+----------------------------------+--------------+---------+

Build & Distribute through TestFlight

$ cd /path/to/iOS Project/
$ ipa build
$ ipa distribute

And more!
