Programmatically add file and initialization certificate

Question

Is there a way to configure the Xcode project to specify the initialization file and the certificate file itself, rather than going through the key chain and any Xcode with provisioning profiles?

If not, is there a programmatic way to add them to the keychain and Xcode so that the Xcode project can be configured to use them? (There is a related Q & Q mention of entering the initialization file into a specific folder that Xcode uses, but this no longer looks like the latest Xcode.)

Please note that I already know how to do all this manually. I need to do this programmatically for a potentially large number of certificates and profiles.

This question may be what you want:

Set up a provisioning profile from within xcodebuild when creating iPhone apps

It allows you to specify the provisioning profile that will be used with xcodebuild, and this is what you use if you do this on the command line.
