Distribution Certificate Problem

Hi friends. I wil getting crazy with distribution certificate. I'm using XCode 4.6.2 and MacOS Mountain Lion. I renew my developer program last month. After then I delete all my certificates and provisioning profilies. There are some problems.
1) Xcode Organizer automatically create Developer Certificate but don't create Distribution certificate. So that I created Distribution Certificate manually from portal.
2) At Xcode Organizer, it shows old certificates that I revoked before. (in red rectangle)
3) There is no check sign on Distribution Certificate that manually created on portal. (at bottom)
4) Also Distribution Certificate don't appear on Keychain Access. I have downloaded Distribution Certificate from portal and tried to add it Keychain Access manually but I can't add it. So that I can't create a distiribution provision.
5) I can't delete certificates on Organizer manually. They are not selectible.
* I tried to delete everything from portal and organizer 4-5 times. Everytime I got same problem.
I will be glad to see your answers. Have a nice day.

You cannot "download a certificate" from apple. what you get is the public
key, together with the private key on your machine will result in a
certificate.
This is really confusing, I know.
Sounds like you did not created the signing request on the machine you are
sitting on (thus you don't have the private key).
You need the private key from the computer where the certificate was
created first.
OR you can revoke the certificate at apple's site and create a new one from
your machine (then you have the private key ready to be combined with the
public key you will download from apple).
But then you need to give the private key to the person owning the old one.

    As Bern510 says, you'll need to recreate certificates that are valid. I suggest following our step-by-step publishing guide, which walks through how to obtain certificates correctly.

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

    The sound input going to the mic is not going to pipe through the speakers like that.  It doesn't do it because it would cause a feedback loop on itself.  The mic input will take sound and output it to a program or to another pathway (like a VoIP or Facetime call, etc.) but it won't behave like a Karaoke machine if that's what you're thinking.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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

  • Current Distribution Certificate revoke - affect my apps in the app store?

    i'm in trouble and think, the only way to solve it is to revoke my
    Current Distribution Certificate
    (I've changed my Mac and revoked my develeoper profile sucessfully, but the distribution profiles are not working: Valid signing identity not found)
    But the Warning, which then appaers, is not clear to me: does it mean, that my existing apps, which are in the app store, are NOT affected and still keep beeing downloadable and purchaseable in the app store?
    And does it mean, that only my future apps are affected, and that I have to renew the profiles in case of updating old apps which are already in the app store?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    I simply revoked the Current Distribution Certificate and luckily nothing bad happened. All my Apps are still in the store. :-)
    Ok, then some new problems appeared, like duplicates in the key chain which I couldn't delete because Xcode renewed them again and again and therefore I've got new errors etc... finally I solved it somehow.
    Good luck everyone.

  • Provisioning Portal Distribution Certificate status "Pending Revocation"

    I had to renew my distribution cert before submitting an update to my current app. I went in to the Provisioning Portal and revoked my active cert and it is now stuck in the "Pending Revocation" status. I have submitted a ticket to Apple support and also called them twice. Doesn't seem this is high on their priority list, but it is for me as I need to get this app submitted for review.
    Has anyone had this problem, and if so, is there anything I can initiate to help fix this? It's been stuck on this status for 5 days.
    Thanks!

    We are in the same situation - our rejected Distribution Certificate is still *Pending Revocation* for over a week now.
    Because we are in Australia, I have contacted Asia dev support. However I was simply told to to read the *iOS Developer Program User Guide*, specifically:
    +"we ask that you please reference the "Obtaining your iOS Development Certificate" section of the iOS Developer Program User Guide found within the iOS Dev Center"+
    When I replied that this does not solve the problem of a certificate stuck in *Pending Revocation* status, I was told:
    +"Thank you for contacting Apple Developer Support regarding distribution certificate.+
    +We are currently reviewing your inquiry and will get back to you very soon. We appreciate your patience."+
    That was four days ago. My request for further information has not been answered yet. I'm not sure how else to move this along so we can submit an update to our app. Does anyone know?

  • Adobe AIR 3 Performance Issues and Code Signing Certificate Problem

    I recently updated to Adobe AIR 3.0 SDK (and runtime) doing HTML/Javascript development using Dreamweaver CS5.5 in a Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).
    The AIR app I'm developing runs well from within Dreamweaver. But when I create/package the AIR app and install it on my machine:
    1. The app literally CRAWLS running it in my Windows 7 12G RAM machine (especially when I use the mouse to mouse over a 19-by-21 set of hyperlinks on a grid) --- IT IS THAT SLOOOOWWWW...
    2. The app runs fine in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4G RAM, also using the Adobe AIR 3 runtime.
    About the Code Signing Certificate problem:
    When I try to package the AIR app with ADT using AIR's temporary certificate feature, I get the error message "Could not generate timestamp: handshake alert: unrecognized_name".
    I found some discussions on this problem in an Adobe AIR Google Groups forum, but no one has yet offered any resolution to the issue. Someone said Adobe is using the Geotrust timestamping service --- located at https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa --- but going to this page produces a "404 --- Page not found" error.

  • IPhone Apps Distribution Certificate on Windows XP

    Hi there! total newbie here!
    I had an idea for an application which i wanted to be programmed. being a total total newbie i asked someone to make it for me. its coming along nicely and will soon (hopefully) be on the app store.
    The thing is, i need to get a app distribution Certificate for the application.
    I do not have a mac and was wondering if i can get it some how using my windows computer?
    If that is not possible, could it be done by someone using THEIR mac....or is a certificate something which can only be done using my own machine?
    Hope someone can help me.
    Thanks

    If you trust your developer, your best bet would be to do all the downloading at that end. Your key and certificate can then be archived for your future use. In any case, you won't be able to use these docs without a development environment on a Mac. No matter where you download them, they need to be installed on a Mac and only an experienced developer should attempt to build the distribution package with them.
