Certificates : Problem with Convert a CER file to a P12 file !!
I have a strange problem and I don't know what's causing it A year ago, I purchased this account and created a certificate and it was working successfully, but its time expired on 1/8/2024, and I want to create a new one in order to update my applications. So I went to create a new certificate of type (iOS Distribution) and it was downloaded successfully, and when I called it in the (Keychain access) program in order to convert it to (.P12) instead of (.cer). But the program refuses to recall it, and I choose the (Local Item) section. thus : But when the file is dragged or double-clicked while I am standing in the (Login) section, the certificate is summoned successfully, and here the real problem begins. It is assumed that in order for me to convert the certificate from (cer) to (p12), there must be an arrow next to the certificate so that the key appears so that it can be pressed. Right-click, then we choose Export, and then we choose (p12). This happens because there is no arrow next to the certificate, and also when I By clicking on the certificate to export it, I am not allowed to choose (p12). How can I convert the file successfully because I want to update my applications, which is very important.

Difficulty debugging a Provisioning problem
I am stuck. I have an iPadOS app that installs and calls a DEXT. I have a provisioning file for the DEXT and another for the app. Xcode shows me that the respective provisioning files match the bundle ids and that the entitlements and provisions match up. I have a developer certificate (two, actually) on the iPad. Xcode shows me, via "Devices" that the provisioning files are installed. When I try to run the app, I get: 0x16d3db000 +[MICodeSigningVerifier _validateSignatureAndCopyInfoForURL:withOptions:error:]: 78: Failed to verify code signature of /var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.vyncZ7/extracted/USBApp.app/SystemExtensions/w1ebr.MUUI.ipadOS.driver.dext : 0xe8008015 (A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.) I don't know what to check next.

Xcode: Generating a profile without a real Apple TV device?
I’m developing this tvOS app, and it builds and runs fine locally in Simulator. However, when I do Product > Archive (so I can upload it to app store later), it fails with error in the screenshot. Looks like Xcode is trying to sign the app with a certificate, but could not find a valid profile to do so. Since I don't have a physical Apple TV device, I'm unable to add an Apple TV to the Devices list on developer.apple.com, thus unable to create a profile. Is the any way around this issue to archive my tvOS app?

Cannot open the app received via TestFlight on macOS
I send a macOS app build to appStoreConnect. The app is displayed inside TestFlight but when I click on it to open it, two modal appear. The first one: the application "AppName" can't be opened. -10673 The second one: "AppName" No longer Available. The beta app, AppName, is no longer available. The provisioning profile is invalid. I followed the following step before uploading the app archive: I made sure to purge my Mac from all the old provisioning profile having all my provisioning profile from my apple developer account valid retrieve provisioning profile Xcode settings > Accounts to export an archive. I choose TestFlight & App Store to send the Archive. I am still no understanding which part of my provisioning profiles are not valid, I would love to have insight about it or a way to fix the issue.

0 valid identities found setting up signing certificates
I'm trying to setup a new build machine and I can't seem to get the signing certificates detected by the security tool with "0 valid identities found" My id is linked to a team but my role is "app manager". In my console I can see the certificates but cant download the developerID installer cert. In Xcode no ceritifcates show up for that team ID in the list. The certs were generated by the developer console. I had to get the client to insecurely send me the certs because of this restriction. I imported them into the keychain but the tool still won't show anything. Is this another problem not having the correct root certificate installed ? I had all this setup in a VMWAre which was working before I lost all data due to a crash so setting it up fresh on a mac mini. I should be able to have just synced the certs through xcode and start signing installers. I researched hundreds of pages and no answer for my problem.

Encountering Difficulty Importing Developer ID Application Certificate into iCloud Keychain
Hello fellow developers, I've come across a bit of a challenge and would appreciate some insights. I successfully backed up my Developer ID Application certificate as a .p12 file and smoothly imported it into my login keychain. However, when attempting to import it into my iCloud keychain for an added layer of backup security, I encountered two error messages: "One object could not be imported." "The selected keychain could not be found." Any thoughts or suggestions on resolving this hiccup would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your expertise!

Having some difficulties with signing the App with Certificate
Hello, I am rather new at publishing apps for Iphone and I am facing some difficulties. Maybe someone could point me what I am not understanding. I am having some issues handling the usage of the Development Certificate . I have created a CSR, supplied it at apple.developer system to get a development certificate. I downloaded such a certificate and installed it. When I try to use it I get this status saying it is not trusted : The result is this when trying to use it: " /Users/eao/build/dev/aquila_companion.xcodeproj: error: Missing private key for signing certificate. Failed to locate the private key matching certificate "Apple Development: Tiago DAagostini (GDH9UYDL8A)" in the keychain. To sign with this signing certificate, install its private key in your keychain. If you don't have the private key, select a different signing certificate for CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY in the build settings editor. (in target 'appaquila_companion' from project 'aquila_companion') " What am I missing? Where this p12 key should be? And is that related to that image where the Certificate is deemed not trusted?

JPackage : mac-signing-key-user-name?
I am trying to sign a Java application, packaged in a disk image, via jpackage, invoked via Ant (so no XCode anywhere). The packaging itself works fine, but I am having trouble figuring out the signing parameters. In particular, it seems I will have to provide a parameter --mac-signing-key-user-name What value should I give to this parameter? I have an Apple Developer Account (well, obviously...), I have generated a certificate and quite a few other things, but I am confused as to what the "signing-key-user-name" should be. The error message I currently get from jpackage is: No certificate found matching [...] using keychain [] I am on MAC OS 12.6 and JDK 17. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TestFlight app became invalid when testers upgraded to OS 14.2
We've got 3 MacOS apps on TestFlight that all suddenly became unusable to our testers who upgraded the OS to 14.2. The error message says: "The application can't be opened. -10673" But also there was another window that opened up stating "The beta app, , is no longer available. The provisioning profile is invalid" The provisioning profile doesn't specify OS versions - it's signed with distribution and installation certificates for AppStore. These apps have been used that's been successfully provisioned, uploaded, downloaded and tested by various testers prior to now. Each app has an explicit Apple ID and provisioning profile - all still valid. What would cause this? How can I fix this?
