Xcode: Generating a profile without a real Apple TV device?

I’m developing this tvOS app, and it builds and runs fine locally in Simulator.

However, when I do Product > Archive (so I can upload it to app store later), it fails with error in the screenshot.

Looks like Xcode is trying to sign the app with a certificate, but could not find a valid profile to do so.

Since I don't have a physical Apple TV device, I'm unable to add an Apple TV to the Devices list on developer.apple.com, thus unable to create a profile.

Is the any way around this issue to archive my tvOS app?

How are you planning to test your app without having an Apple TV to test it on?

Still new to tvOS app development, is TestFlight is available for tvOS app? If yes, I think we can have testers to test the app on their devices.

I've tested it in Simulator, and now actually in the process of getting a physical device. But before that arrives, I'm trying to finish as much as possible.
