I am trying to create a distribution profile. From scratch I deleted every certificate at KeyChain. I removed all provision profile using terminal method. I closed my Xcode. Then I followed this link to create the distribution certificate and profiles. I followed the step correctly and I got the following results. I keep getting "No signing certificate"IOS development found" Please help.
Edited
I then created the Development certificate following this link and now I get different certificates name for Development and Distribution. My error is Distribution Provision Profile doesn't include signing certificate iPhone Developer xxxx xxxx
Please help, thanks.
After creating the development profile
Why is my certificate different name for development and distribution, I followed the steps to create certificate. Why is it different name?
FOR DISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATES
On BuildSettings make sure you pick "IOS Distribution" instead of "IOS DEVELOPER" in the "Code Signing Identity" dropdown:
You have the certificate and provisioning profile for iOS Distribution. You are trying to do a build for development (building to a test device), which will require you to generate a certificate and profile for iOS Development. Follow the steps you did, but when you need to specificy what the certificate is for, choose iOS Development. Also, when you create the provisioning profile, select iOS Development. It is actually the next article on the site you were using: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/308242-how-do-i-create-a-development-profile-for-ios
The iOS Distribution certificate / profile will be used when you want to submit to Apple for testing through TestFlight, or for distribution in the App Store, so don't worry about deleting those.
I had the same problem and I solved it just checking the configuration of certificates and provisioning.
Check if they are using correct provisioning profiles
And check if they are using the correct reference in code signing
That's what worked for me...

Background: trying to set up test-flight for IOS development as an individual.
Problem:
In the Apple developer website,
while I can see my distribution certificate and my developer certificate under the Certificates tab, when I try to generate a Provisioning Profile, it only shows the developer certificate as an option but not the distribution certificate (which to my understanding is what is needed to set up test-flight).
perhaps Apple is just taking a while to process the new distribution certificate as I created it just now...?
any ideas? what might have I missed?
Maybe I am supposed to delete the development certificate first?
A company that I am developing a project for, gave me a .mobileprovision file and a .p12 certificate to add APNS to their project. As long as I've added their provision profile to my project in XCode, XCode keeps saying "iPhone has denied the launch request." when I try to build project on my physical device.
I've tried deleting certificate Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority, and adding another user account to mac but non of them worked. Only when I disabled Debug executable, the app launched successfully, but it's not a solution because I need to debug the app.
Should I tell them to add my device UDID to their account's devices on developer.apple.com?
You've been given an Adhoc distribution provisioning profile, which don't allow the debugger to attach (they're missing the get-task-allow entitlement), as they're for use when you distribute your app for testing, not local development.
If you need to debug, they'll have to supply you with a development p12 certificate and a matching provisioning profile.
You are trying with Development Profile vs Distribution Profile?
Distribution Profile:
With AdHoc Distribution profile, you can't debug any app it should be used for distribution only.
Development Profile:
If you didn't add your device UDID to the provisioning profile, you can try to do that and re-generate the provisioning profile and download it.
In Keychain Access, you will get to know which profile you received from the team,
gave me a ".mobileprovision" file and a ".p12" certificate
That seems like a red herring. I would suggest ignoring both of those. If they want you to work on their app, they simply make you a team member. Done! Your own dev center membership is then sufficient to debug on device.
I am trying to prepare an ad-hoc build for an iOS app. I am registered as a team member(TEAM ROLE) in apple development program.
My team admin has already generated distribution certificate and have registered device and also generated distribution provisioning profile.
Now I want to know , If I want to create build from my local system, Does the provisioning profile itself is sufficient to make the build or I need to install distribution certificate as well?
I am curious to know because I think, provisioning profile has all the necessary information like:
Distribution Certificate and device info
Thanks for your help.
No, you will need both the distribution certificate and the matching provisioning profile installed on the machine doing the build.
If the distribution certificate isn't installed you won't be able to select it from the 'Code signing identity' build setting.
When i try to archive me app in Xcode, it gives me an error that i don't have a provisioning profile. how do i get one. i have an IOS Development account.
I tried to upload a distribution certificate, but it did not work. why?
The Error says...
XCode attempted to locate or generate matching signing assets and failed to do so because of the following issues.
you account already had a valid IOS Distribution certificate
visit member center or import developer profile.
There are certificates and there are profiles, they are two different things. It sounds like you have a distribution certificate. Go to the developer portal, and then go the the identities, certificates, and profiles.
Profiles will be at the bottom. You need a distribution profile for your app id. Distribution profiles are then signed by distribution certificates. It is pretty straightforward. Once you create the profile, download it and double click it to add it to your library.
I have submitted an app to the app store. When i did this i was developing my app with a developer signing identity, then i created a distribution signing identity but i couldnt get xcode to use the distribution identity, so i deleted the developer identity and set only the distribution. Now i want to do things right, so i managed to import both identities in xcode and i can see them in xcode -> preferences -> view details
What's next? how do i generate the binary to upload it to the itunes connect using the distribution identity? Any tips about uploading an app to the app store will be helpful.
If you are confirmed the provisioning certificates are correct for both the development and production, you will have to set the correct Code Signing Identity and Provisioning Profile under the Built Settings for both Project and Target.
Debug -> Development
Release -> Production
This way, when you are developing and you run the project directly from XCode to your device, it will be using the development certificate. If you achieve it and extract to IPA. Then, it will be using the production certificate.
If you have a third certificate (Ad-Hoc Production) for beta testers, you may interchange that under the release with distribution certificate.
See the screen shot below.
Follow steps:
First create distribution provision certificate with valid bundle identifier on apple account(For this you should have the main distribution certificate).
Download and double click on certificate.
Then give bundle identifier name which you used while creating certificate in plist.
in Code signing select certificate of distribution
Clean build and archive it.
validate with iTunes and create ipa. then upload build using application loader on App Store.
Hope this will help. This is the common procedure of creating certificate, .ipa and uploading build.
