Do I need to rebuild application after adding a new iPhone in ad hoc distribution?

I'm using Ad Hoc distribution to send preview/beta version of my iPhone apps to customers for approval. I'm always sending a zipped application and mobileprovision files.

Sometimes however I encountered situation when nothing in the application changed but we needed to add a new device for testing.

I've added a device in Provisioning portal and assigned it to a provisioning profile my application uses for ad hoc distribution. I've downloaded new mobileprovision file and imported it to xcode now the question is do I need to rebuild the application to enable the app on a new device or would it be enough to just send old build with updated mobileprovision file?

What is ad hoc in Apple?

Ad Hoc Distribution Authorizes a Limited Set of Devices to Run Your App. iOS developers enrolled in the Standard Program can also distribute an app outside of the App Store on up to 100 different devices for testing purposes only.

No, simply installing the new provisioning profile on the target device will do
