Hi Sami,

It's all about convenience. If you do not have a "signing profile", you can generate one on SCPms and ensure your code with it. If you already published some applications then you might have something that we call "signing profile". To understand it better I suggest this page by Google:
https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing#considerations

and also this page by SAP (search for "signing profiles")
