I have 2 distribution certificates in my enterprise account, and I have distributed a app with one of the certificates of this account, but I don't know which certificate I signed with.
Now the private keys associated with both certificates have been lost. I have to use a new certificate to sign the app when I distribute a new version next time, but one enterprise account can only generate 2 distribution certificates at most, so I have to revoke a distribution certificate, but I don't know which one can be revoked, if I revoke the certificate that has used to sign my app last time, then all the apps have installed on the user's phone will can't be open.
what should I do? Thank you very much.
Hope below image will help you,

I have an application that was released by an enterprise distribution method. The distribute certificate will expire in one month so I created a new one.
In addition, I renewed the provisioning profile based on a new certificate with the same bundle ID and app ID.
The old provisioning profile will expire in one month as like as the old certificate. My app was signed and installed by this provisioning profile and certificate.
So the question is will my existing application that is being used by
our users right now stop working when I renewed the certificate and
provisioning profile?
As long as you don't revoke the old certificate you will be fine.
With the enterprise program you can have two valid signing certificates at any point; This allows you to issue a second one before the first expires.
I have a iOS app use the account A.
My client gave me an enterprise account B for In-House distribution.
I'm not allowed to revoke their existing certificates and they do not provide .p12 and .developerprofile.
I called the apple center and they told me NO .P12 key can also publish procedures but did not told me how to do.
My E-mail have joined the team,
I create a new app id and a provisioning profiles but the provisioning profiles is error in my Xcode.
error message:The private key for "XXX" is not installed on this Mac.
My question:
I just want to release .ipa for in-house type how to do？
thx!
You will need to p12 (private key) form the client or revoke the current profile. There is not other option. Do not revoke any provisioning profiles for current apps since they may used.
Also explain to the client what you are doing and the consequences that it may have, if they are not able to provide you with the necessary certificates.
You generate a Certificate Sign Request (CSR) from your Keychain, login to your developer account and choose your client's team.
You then create an enterprise certificate which will have to be approved by your client's team manager. Once that is done you will be able to download it and install it on your keychain.
After that generate a provisioning profile for the app you want to distribute, download and install it on Xcode.
Build your app with this certificate and save the IPA for enterprise distribution.
My client has a few apps in the app store that were submitted using a certain App Store profile which I have access to the account. We also have those apps installed Ad Hoc signed with the same Distribution Profile. Now I am taking care of one of this apps and I need to code sign to make a few changes and then submit it Ad Hoc for some testers. No one knows where the .developerprofile backup is. Can I revoke the existing certificate and recreate a new one without affecting the apps on the App Store. If I revoke, any other developer using this key pair will stop working, right? Any other problem I am not remembering. Can I revoke the certificate?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can safely revoke the developer and AdHoc distribution certificates without affecting any App Store apps. Be careful not to revoke any Push Notification certificates if your app uses push.
Generate a new certificate signing request on your machine and use that to generate the new certificates. Remember to edit the provisioning profiles after you create the new certificates, especially if you've added any additional devices to the provisioning list. Then download the new provisioning profiles and you should be good to go.
Any other developers (if they still have access) will be able to download the new profiles if they need them. If they also need to sign builds, they should generate their own keys/certificates as well for their developer certificates.
I have an app developed and working with our company's profile and distribution cert. I just recieved the .p12 from the company that we are going to be distributing to, and am trying to rebuild the app with their certificate. However, when I select 'Archive' I receive
"No unexpired provisioning profiles found that contain any of the keychains signing certificates"
I believe I'm missing something here, but google and I can't figure it out. Do I need a new profile with that certificate in it? If so how do I go about uploading the .p12?
Thankyou very much.
With the p12 you are enabling your computer to make releases for the outside company but what you need right now is the provisioning profile associated with that app (it will be specific if you have in app purchases or push notification otherwise it will be the default developer profile) and that .p12
Check out your keychain, distribution certificate has key. If not then install right certificate.
I have just finished my first app and I want to submit it to the iTunes store. In getting ready I read a tutorial that said I should first clean up all certificates and provisioning profiles. So, as per this guys instructions, I revoked my certificate.
Now, I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to get it back. I've found an apparently out of date articles by Apple (TN2250) which no longer applies to my version of Xcode (4.3.2). In the Certificates section of the Provisioning Portal I can see no way to renew my certificate, or create a new one. I even called Apple's support and the nice gal was sweet but in the end was not able to help me and told me she was not technical support and I would need to ask my questions in the various help-forums.
How to renew my cert? Or create a new one?
There two certificates: one is for the development cert and another one is the distribution certificate.
If they are expired or you revoked them. You need to using key chain from your apple computer to generate the certificate requests.
Go to your apple computer, Open Application->utilities->keychain Access
Keychain Access->certificate Assantance->Request a certificate from a certificate authority
Fill in your email address and name, pick Save to disk
You need to generate two certificate for both the development certificate and the distribution certificate
Then:
You login to your provisioning portal.
Click the certificate manual on your left side
There two certificates: one is for the development cert and another one is the distribution certificate.
You request a new certificate from the portal, upload your certificate request you generated earlier.
You should be able to get your new certificates. You download these two certificates on to your computer, and double click the certificates to install them into your keychain.
Please let me know if you have problems to get your new certificate.
