This was done intentionally at the time.

iOS can download a TLS profile and install it just fine.

However, the profiles naturally do not contain an actual client certificate.

Earlier versions of iOS we tested were unable to associate a
already-installed TLS client certificate (i.e. imported as a stand-alone
.p12 file) with the newly installed Wi-Fi profile. This rendered the
entire installation process pointless.

What you write above seems to imply that things have changed? Did you
actually *use* the Wi-Fi profile with a pre-installed client certificate
and did that work? How does the initial connection dialog look like, if
any? Are you asked about the client certificate, or will it just pick
the (one and only) client cert it finds in the device?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
