Lost Private Key For iPhone Distribution Certificate. What could be solutions?
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have developed an IOs app on my MacbookPro laptop, which unfortunately had suffered a disk failure last week, with all data on it being lost.
Dumb as I am, I did not backup any of the keys I had on my laptop. My question is, can I still somehow update my existing application (I do still have my source code) in the app store? Or is it the same case with Google's keystore, where if you lose your key you must create a new application?
Thanks
You can update your app easily. Simply follow the same steps you originally followed to create a new app store distribution profile. As long as you do not change the app id of the application, it will be the same app.

Recently, I accidentally overwrote my iOS app on my Mac. But I uploaded to Apple Connect for testing. Is there a way to retrieve the files of my app from there?
No. What you uploaded to App Store Connect is compiled code. What you are looking for is your source code (text).

App Store Connect TestFlight showing no builds
(3 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I Have uploaded a new build on iTunes Connect using Xcode 10.2 and Application Loader 3.7.2 too.
The build is showing under activities:
But no build is showed under TestFlight IOS Builds:
I tried with many websites browsers (Safari, Google Chrome, ...) and clear website data too (after got the advice from Apple Support).
What should I do now? Any help would be appreciated
Please check your email inbox which you registered as apple account. There will be detail why apple removed your build. Mostly it happen due to, not added permissions in plist file like accessing microphone or photo library.

UIDevice uniqueIdentifier deprecated - What to do now?

iOS unique user identifier [duplicate]
(7 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
First of all, I'd like to say that I'm fully aware that uniqueIdentifier has been deprecated and there are identifierForVendor & advertisingIdentifier.
My question is, if there is a way to have a fully persistent device identifier which lives through anything like reboots, app uninstalls, etc.
Currently we use identifierForVendor which is OK - but one of our product's main requirements is to allow quick login without any registration, and when people delete our app their save acts as a "local save" (even though it's hosted on our servers) - as their identifierForVendor changes.
Hope someone had better luck than me in finding an answer (or if there even is an answer :P)
Thanks
The best you can do is create a guid yourself and store it in the keychain for your app. That will survive uninstalls and reboots, but not system wipes. If the user logs in to some cloud service that you can create an association with on your server, e.g. Game Center or Facebook, then that id is generally stable across system wipes and you could do a lookup there. Be careful not to violate those services TOS, however.

iPhone App Update and Documents Directory
(1 answer)
Closed 9 years ago.
Help please, I'm new to iOS Development. I have an iOS App which downloads some images from a web server. When I try to re-download those files, my code will check if was downloaded already or not..
Now, my question is:
If I downloaded all necessary files to the Documents directory of my app, what's going to happen if I create a new version/update of this App? I mean, if my customers who have already installed v1.0 and downloaded all necessary files and then update the app from appstore, will all downloaded files be erased?
Thanks.
No, your user's data will not be lost when updating the app if it is stored in the Documents directory.
The only time this data will be lost is if the user deletes the application of if the user resets his/her phone.

Transferring ownership of an iPhone app on the app store

Closed 9 years ago.
Suppose developer A posts an app to the App Store, and then wants to allow developer B to take ownership (and be responsible for future updates). Is this possible, and if so, what is involved?
Thanks in advance.
You have to ask Apple to do it and it usually takes a while.
