Description

Xcode 9 made more changes to how provisioning works for apps, particularly around manual vs automatic signing.

The changes required to support manual signing of release builds was implemented as part of CB-13315.

In order for automatic signing to work, we need to pass an additional flag to xcodebuild to allow Xcode to manage automatically updating provisioning profiles as needed. I want to keep this being a build config option because many people may not want to grant Xcode such power by default.
