Create a Distribution Certificate as a p.12 file in Keychain Access not working?

I need to create a Distribution Certificate as a p.12 file. I downloaded my ios_distribution.cer file from iOS Provisioning Portal/Certificates/Distribution/Download but this file will not install on my Keychain Access Certificates. Once installed I need to export as .p12. Why can't I install this .cer file to my keychain access? Thanks

Hi EDUR142, did you find a way round this? If so, please let me know.
I currently can see that these certificates are there in Keychain Access under System'Certificates'.
However in System'Keys' the relevant keys are not there. And in Login'Keys' there are 4 keys that might be the correct ones: 2 public keys, 2 private keys. BUT they do not have an arrow on the left so I cannot see if the correct certificate is associated with them (as it described in the Adobe step by step guide to DPS pg19).
If this is simliar to your issue last year, and you found a solution, pls reply. Thank you.

Create a new AppleID on a different iOS device or on a computer. You will
then be able to use that newly created AppleID on your iPhone.

First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

When i create a slideshow in iphoto using the ken burns effect it will not work in idvd. any tips please.

when i create a slideshow in iphoto with the ken burns effect it works fine. when i then transfer it to idvd it will not work. any tips please.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how are you getting the slideshow into iDVD?
what size slideshow did you send to iDVD?
can you export the slideshow to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player there?
what fixes have you tried?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Here's how you should create and sent a slideshow to iDVD from iPhoto:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Mac creates a save every hour, quickly filling the external drive. The "delete unnecessary files in Trash" does not work.

How to make the Mac do save at certain intervals?
Why would I want five saves the day?
I try to delete unnecessary files to free up space.
Trash on the Mac has become very slow, the removal process was take hours.
Then the process of removing all stops.
Why files are not removed through the trash?
What could be causing the removal process?

TimeMachine is designed to back up every hour. It saves only the files that have changed during the hour. After 24 hours TimeMachine culls the (up to) 24 backups to make a single backup for the day. After 30 days it takes the 7 oldest day backups and culls them into a single week backup.
You should never manually touch files in the TimeMachine backup. It doesn't like that. The best practice for TimeMachine is to devote an external drive to TimeMachine and nothing else. Because TM backups are incremental, it is recommended that your TM hard drive be 2-4 times larger than the amount of drive space your computer is using. In other words, if your 1TB hard drive is 1/4 full (250GB in use) you should have a TM drive between 500GB and 1TB depending on how much more data you expect to add to your drive and how long you wish to keep old back files.
Having said all this, you might prefer using some other program for backups. CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync are two programs you might want to look at.

Can't find 'keys' associated with certificates to create p.12 certificates

Hi there, Hope you can help. Wanting to create p.12 Developer & Distribution Certificates. Have gone through procedure to point of double clicking 'ios_development.cer' and 'ios_distribution.cer' to install into Keychain Access.
I can see that these certicates are there in Keychain Access under System'Certificates'.
However in System'Keys' the relevant keys are not there. And in Login'Keys' there are 4 keys that might be the correct ones: 2 public keys, 2 private keys. BUT they do not have an arrow on the left so I cannot see if the correct certificate is associated with them (as it described in the step by step guide to DPS pg19).
Mac currently on 10.6.8, so I have not yet downloaded X Code. Planning to upgrade system shortly. When I upgrade & install X Code, will I then be able to see correct keys & see the associated certificates together in 'Keys'? Is there anything I have missed? Hope you can help, thank you.

Xcode is most likely unrelated to this issue (although you do need to install an intermediate certificate at some point, either with xcode or individually). If you double-click the .cer file and the twirl-down arrow fails to appear, it usually means the certificate was not imported properly. Try using the Import command in the menu. If that doesn't work, delete and revoke everything you created and try again. For best results, close the Keychain Access utility each time you complete a p12 certificate.

Distribution Certificate

I just registered for the iOS Developer Program and became an Apple Developer. I tried to create a Distribution Certificate and it said "Access Denied". Can someone help?

Use Safari/Mac.
Confirm your account has proper (team member?) authority.
If new account, be patient.
Consider your own thread if you have further issues so it can receive the unique attention it deserves, you can better track and close if/when solved, etc.

Submitting iOS app to AppStore - Distribution certificate?!

I have finished developing the first version of my iOS app, and continued to complete all the necesarry steps in Itunes Connect and began uploading my app through the mac's os AppLoader. What consequently turned out to be the problem is that my app which was published in Adobe Flash Proffesional 6 was configured under a development certificate (in the deployment tab) and not a distribution certificate needed to publish it to the App Store. I generated such a certificate on a Mac and tried using it in my project through Flash 6 on my PC, however a password is needed to publish the app.
I have several questions concerning this issue :
1) Is there a way to generate a distribution certificate on my PC (not through a mac)?
2) these distribution certificates are .cer extensions - in FLASH you are instructed to browse for .p12 certificates.
3) If i can use the distribution certificate created in the mac computer in my project on my Windows PC, where can i figure out the password it requires me to enter?
This is a very frustrating matter, Adobe if you can upload a Distribution Tutorial for Publishing to App Store that would help many people dealing with the same problem...currently there is only a tutorial on how to create a .p12 development certificate...
Thanks,
Roy

1. yes, but it's much more difficult than doing it on a mac. in fact, i believe you will have to emulate a mac to do it.
2. when you create your .p12 file in keychain you enter an password. (there's no reason to use a different passwords for development and distribution.)
Go to the https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action using a Mac computer or a virtual Mac
Log-in.
Click on the iOS Dev Center link.
Click iOS Provisioning Portal link. (See Fig08-04.)
Click the Certificates link in the left panel.
Click the Distribution tab in the right panel.
Click the Request Certificate button in the right panel.
Follow the directions using Keychain Access to create your distribution Certificate. (See Fig 08-05.) Apple has easy-to-follow directions to create a Certificate Signing Request that is used to create your Certificate. The steps needed to create a Certificate Signing Request appear in the right panel after step 7. The only part I stumble on is when instructed to open Certificate Assistant. You will find it at the top left of your Mac's screen after clicking Keychain Access, not in the Keychain Access window.
The right panel should change to show your Certificate is Pending Issuance. Refresh the page and you should see Your Certificate is Issued and read for download. (See Fig08-06.)
Download your ios_distribution.cer by clicking the download button.
Download an AppleWWDRCA.cer by clicking the "*If you do not have the WWDR intermediate certificate installed, click here to download now." link.
Open both files in Keychain Access (using the login Keychain).
Right click your private key in Keychain Access (you may need to expand the iPhone Developer certificate shown in your Keychain Access window) and click Export. Make sure File format is Personal Information Exchange (.p12) and click Save. You will be prompted for a password that you must remember. You will use that password each and every time you publish an iOS game and you will use your .p12 (distribution Certificate) file for all the apps/games you distribute (until your Certificate expires and you pay another $99 and follow these steps again).

My iOS Distribution certificate was revoked while my app is waiting for review.

I submitted my first app for review on 4/17/2014 - about a week ago. I just received an email from Apple (portion pasted below):
Your iOS Distribution certificate has been revoked.
You have revoked your certificate, so it is no longer valid.
Certificate: iOS Distribution
Any provisioning profiles that include this certificate are no longer valid and must be regenerated for future use.
In iTunes Connect, my app is still listed as "Waiting for Review" - since my iOS Distribution certificate was revoked, will this affect the submission process?
In the Developer Portal I still have a development and distribution certificate (names iOS Development and iOS Distribution) under iOS certificates. I believe I may have accidently created multiple distribution certificates since I was a little confused about the submission process (and ended up deleting one of them). I have only one Distribution Provisioning Profile that is listed as Invalid. Should I go ahead and make a new distribution provisioning profile? Will this affect the submission process? Sorry if these seem like trivial questions, but i'm still new to the app submission process.

Status is also "waiting for review" along with a yellow circle. the binary details all look ok including the .zip file i uploaded. now that i think about it, maybe the error messages were in response to my second upload. because i thought the first one failed, but now I see the .zip is the proper name.

Multiple Exchange accounts and client certificates not working...?

Hi all,
I have a problem with my company iPad's. I'm trying to configure 2 Exchange accounts with certificate based authentication on my iPad with the iPhone config utility. For that i have created 2 client certificates.
When I configure just 1 mailbox, does not matter which one of the 2, with the iPhone config util, it al works ok with client authentication.
When I configure 2 mailboxes, on the iPad, without client certificate authentication it al works ok.
When I configure 2 mailboxes with the 2 client certificates with the iPhone config util, both exchange accounts have the same mailbox. When I configure for example mailbox Jim and Harry with the corresponding certificates and I load it into the iPad. The exchange account of Jim has Jim his mailbox, but the exchange account of Harry also has the mailbox of Jim. And sometimes it is vice versa.....
Can anybody help me in this, we are using 4th gen iPad with MS Exchange ActiveSync 2003 SP2 en MS Forefront TMG with Kerberos delegation.
Please advice.
Cheers,
Eddy

Hi Eddy,
I have the feeling that the SSL connection after being established is only using the first authenticated certificated to connect to the exchange server.
Have you had a look over this Microsoft page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff472472.aspx
Are you able to test 2 accounts on one pad in a test environment preferably with SSL inspection off?
Do you have any information in the Forefront logs of the users being authenticated from the iPad? Or is one user authenticated twice?
Cheers,
IhalpU

Sounds like you need to ask your question in the developers forums.

Cannot create p12 certificate using existing distribution certificate

Hi,
I published apps before using my employers apple developer account which is pretty straight forward if you follow the directions. I have been asked to create an app for distribution with the apple store using the clients developer account. I need to create the final .zip of the app and pass it to the client who will submit the actual app themselves.
My problem is that I cannot create a p12 certificate to attach to the app in DPS App Builder. The client has three distribution certificates in their account but had third parties create them on their behalf. To my knowledge the best way to handle this would be to revoke the oldest of the three distribution certificates in their apple developer account and create a new one that is linked to my machine which would allow me to create all the needed certificates. It seems that 3 distribution certificates is the limit they can have at one time.
My questions are:
1. Is my solution the right one?
2. If so, would revoking a distribution certificate cause problems for any of their other apps that are published or in progress?
The only other option I could see was for the creator of one of the distribution certificates to create a p12 certificate which I would attach to the app in DPS App Builder.
Any help, advice or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I have never had a problem publishing while following the directions so this is a new issue for me.
Regards,
C

If you have access to your clients Apple dev account, you can create certs on your machine but if they have existing certs in their account, might be confusing and don't want to mess with their existing certs.
Would advise to ask your client to create and pass you the certs, create the app with their certs and pass them back the zip for them to upload

Problems with my Distribution Certificate.

Hi,
My iPhone app is ready to roll and I can't get this distribution certificate to work. The developer certificate uses my name but the distribution certificate needs to be under my company name. Since that is my account name.
So I requested a certificate from a certificate authority (no cert authorities were selected). I uploaded the file to to developer program portal. I approved the request and downloaded the certificate.
It looks fine. It's name is iPhone Distribution: My Company name and it is issued by Apple worldwide relations blah blah blah.
I then created and downloaded a distribution provisioning profile. By dragging it over iTunes.
Now when I go into the Target info of my app I can only do one of two things. Choose the code signing identity for Any iPhone OS Device to be iPhone Distribution: but with no company name.
Then in the code signing provisioning profile. I can choose the provising profile that I set up.
If I enter the iPhone OS Device to be iPhone Distribution: My Company name then the provisioning profile is no longer selectable. I can enter it manually but I get a build error
CodeSign error: no certificate found in keychain for code signing identity 'iPhone Distribution: My Company Name'
Can someone please help me? It's driving me not so slowly insane.
Thanks,
Travis

Yes my provisioning profile is in the directory, and yes the name matches exactly.
Something I read somewhere and what I've tried is leaving the company name off and just entering iPhone Distribution:
From what I can tell it does a search for certificates with these words. Since the only certificate for distribution is my company one then I think it has found it. I did a build and the keychain part appeared to work (it asked if my company wanted to allow access.)
It also has the embedded.mobileplatform file.
Do you think it worked even though I didn't put my company name in there?

"Distribution Certificate is not valid" - error downloading the ZIP file from App Builder

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to download the Distribution App (.ZIP) from App Builder.
- The App is made with a Professional account
- The app is a Multi-folio for iPad-iPhone
- The App has the Push notifications option activated
- I made a couple of Push Certificates (production + developing), I checked on Apple Keychain and they are valid (green dot)
- I made a new App ID with Push Notification option enabled
- I made a couple of mobileprovision files (production + developing) based on the App ID and
- I download the .IPA and it work
The App Builder report this error: "This is not a valid Apple Distribution Certificate"
Any ideas?
Is this related to the Pro account and the fact that I made another App for Android?
Has someone the ability to try using the same settings to understand if it is a bug or a real issue?
Thanks,
Andrea Spinazzola
Ps.: Obviously, we are on deadline...

Hi Neil,
as you can imagine reading my list, I already do everything you suggested to me.
So It's not my mistake, I need to know if it is a bug or a known behavior.
When I'm talking about Pro Account and Android App, I mean that a Pro Account is for only one "project" (no more infinite Apps as in the past) and due to a content issue, I had to create two Application Account with two different Adobe ID and emails.
Is this the cause?
I appreciate every help that could solve my problem but just to let you know, I work on DPS since it start and this is about the fifteenth apps that I did in the last 5 years, so I know exactly how it works.
Have you tried to reproduce my list of thing?
It works for you?
Yes?
No?
I have a problem, i can't generate with DPS App Builder "App distribuzione.zip" to be sent to Apple to publish APP, this is the error message: is not a valid distribution certificate Apple. What do I do?
Same problem, same answers, same unsolved problem.
I made new certificates (it was the first thing I did) and It doesn't work.
Thanks.
Andrea
