Do I need dev and distribution certs again for my second app?

Hi, I'm ready to submit my second app to the app store. Do I need to create the development and distribution certificates again for the second (subsequent apps, hopefully)? I'm told provisoinal cert is enough if we have it once. Please let me know, [and apologies if this is already covered, I checked but didn't find any results]. Thanks!

Certificates are developer account-specific...they cover 1 dev and x number of apps; profiles are app-specific...they are unique to each app.


To make other apps, you only need other profiles.


This example assumes valid certificates, of course.

Each app has an appid and the certificate also needs to correspond to the appid

Thanks jaseng, I was able to submit my second app with no separate certs. Of course app id was different but I didn't have to do anything else. And unlike the first time, this went without a hitch. (Sorry couldn't reply earlier, just logged back in to reply to KMT).
