D'accord, merci Stefan!

I found this explanation for how to create the file (yay!). Any tips on how
to embed the files? It's giving instructions on how to sign, but not
entirely sure how to embed the other file.

http://www.rootmanager.com/iphone-ota-configuration/iphone-ota-setup-with-signed-mobileconfig.html

And my iPhone is still not recognizing either a signed or unsigned version
of that file. If you have further insights, that would be great! But I get
that essentially this is just poor implementation by Apple folks.
