My client cannot disclouse his developer account credentials. So he created one app in apple.developer account with my app's bundle id and then created a provisional profile.
He has sent me the certificates,provisional profile. Now i am not able to use my machine and out of my home and want to give a reply.
Is it possible to make an ipa with that given things?
Follow below steps,
From MAC System which was used to create a certificates from apple account, Open Keychain App
Then Select developer and distribution certificates and export both as p12
file. You will need those certificates with export password from that
MAC system. Install those in your MAC's keychhain then you can use
provisioning profiles of that account.

Another developer shared his app with my dev account. But in that case I do not get access to the provision profiles. But my Xcode does not want to run that app on my iPhone. Asks me provision profile.
He also sent me the provision profile(downloaded it and sent me file) but I cannot still install it.
How I can solve the problem without username/password credentials of the creator?
Yes, but you will need to have the developer send you the signing identity for the provisioning profile. This will consist of the iOS Developer Certificate (.cer) and the private key for the certificate (usually a .p12). With those things, you should be able to build and sign the app without the developer having to give you their Apple developer credentials.
I have to create an ipa for the ad-hoc distribution. The problem is, I don't have the access to the mac on which first time developer profile is created and signed by the keychain password, so can't export the .developerprofile file to code signIn on my new mac. I do know the keychain password. Now my question is, how can I create the ipa or generate a new .developerprofile. I searched alot but didn't get any related info. Everywhere creating new provision profile is listed. I am using Xcode 8
You can download the developer profile from developer.apple.com domain. Look at there. It is in the developer certificate or distribution certificate.
On the Apple site, in the Certificates section, I see that I have two certificates (iOS Development and iOS Distribution). They both expire in 2017. Everything looks fine there.
When I download the certificates and try to install them locally, they both appear in the “Certificates” section of my Keychain. In the “My certificates” section of my Keychain, however, I see only the Developer certificate. If I try to copy the Distribution certificate from “Certificates” to “My Certificates”, it does not help.
In XCode, in the Accounts section, when I choose my Apple ID and click on “View Details,” I see only “iOS Development” in the list of Signing Identities. And its status is “Revoked” for some reasons! When I click on “+” under the table and try to add iOS Distribution certificate, a dialog appears which says: “Your account already has a valid iOS Distribution certificate. You have a valid iOS Distribution certificate in the Member Center, but it is not installed locally. If your signing identity is installed on another Mac, you can export a developer profile on that Mac and import it on this Mac. You can also revoke your current certificate and request a new one.”
Is it safe to go to the Apple site and revoke the certificates there? Would it help somehow? Or maybe there are better solutions?
You may revoke your distribution and create a new one with CertificateSigningRequest created from keychain access. But if you have other project using this distribution certificate, It is better export that certificate from the originally installed computer using keychain access export with the .p12 extension and install it to your computer.
If you export a certificate distribution or development. You need to go to developer.apple.com and renew all your previous provisioning file with a new certificate. It is time consuming but if you are not able to export old certificate that is the only option.
i'm having some troubles to code sign an app for in-house distribution. The customer got an iOS Enterprise Developer Account and set up a provisioning profile. However i don't know how to sign the app and if there are any prerequisites that have to be met.
Currently during the development the app is signed with via a profile of my company (the team my Apple-ID is in). Testing devices are added via UDID to this profile. The next step would be to use the customers Provisioning Profile and Certificate to build the app for in-house distribution. I have the respective files but somehow i'm stuck. When i try to bring the certificate or provisioning profile in i'm getting code signing errors.
Can anyone help me with the steps i have to take?
If that provisioning profile crated by there system (Client Mac) and you want to use this provisioning in to you system you just need to its system cer.p12 file and double click on it that instal in to you key-chain. Than you can use its provisioning from you system. No need to other stuff.
just tel the client for sending its cer .p12 file like Go to keyChain and select cer that appear in to there system keychain.
Just right click on that particular cer that pop-up appear like bellow screenshot:
select Export Option and save. now Just you need this .p12 file in to you system.
You have to use the enterprise account to generate p12, and then use p12 to generate the description file, so that you can sign the app.If you really don't understand.i can help you with the steps you have to take. Give me your email.
I will send you a software, I think this can help you
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.
