Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
dubs May 18, 2017 12:04 PM (in response to Ganesh Ramaswamy)For the distribution of in-house enterprise apps you may have two active certificates at any given time. Normally you will only use one at a time and then transition to the second certificate before the first one expires in three years.
One certifiate can sign any number of provisioning profiles which are what you need to run the app on devices.
- Distribution Certificate: Program wide
- Provisioning Profile: Per app

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
kelviny Feb 1, 2018 6:17 PM (in response to Narrow Advertising)Same here. I have revoked my most of my development certificates yesterday and I only have one now. But I can't request any more certificates - "Maximum number of certificates generated".
Is there are waiting period after revoking before the counter/limit gets reset?

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
dubs Sep 7, 2017 8:09 AM (in response to cptvideo)Already deployed apps will need to be updated to the newly signed version. You can also update just the provisioning profile on a deployed enterprise app if your MDM system supports it.

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
cptvideo Sep 7, 2017 5:05 PM (in response to dubs)This is interesting to me. Is there any way for me to manage provisioning profile deployment as a sole developer, without using an 'MDM system'?

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
dave.clarke Sep 25, 2017 2:32 AM (in response to dubs)Thanks @dubs, this is very useful.
When you state that "already deployed apps will need to be updated to the newly signed version", can you clarify what you mean by "updated"?
Is it enough to edit the provisioning profile, select the new cert and generate?
Of are further steps required?
Thanks again

deepika_chilana Mar 20, 2018 11:38 PM (in response to dubs)Is there any way to add more Ad-Hoc iOS Distribution Certificates? For say, subscribing to another Enterprise Program by paying the annual fee so, that I don't have to create an entirely new account.

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
galagast Jul 25, 2017 9:08 PM (in response to Ganesh Ramaswamy)I also just encountered this issue.
I'm using Unreal Engine's iPhonePackager program to generate my csr on WIndows. But while in the process of studying the proper workflow to install developer apps on my device, I went through a couple of testing phases.. which unfortunately included me creating and revoking a couple of my IOS Development certificates.. I recieved email notifications from apple regarding the revoked certificates.
Now when I try to create a new certificate (for a new ue4 test project), it won't let me create one. It has the "(Maximum number of certificates generated)" error in red for iOS App Development.
I still have 1 active certificate on my account, but I'm hesitant to revoke it just to test if I can create a new one.
I couldn't find any info regarding this:
- How many is the actual maximum limit?
- Is there a way to reset this?
- Is this is just a temporary hindrance? For how long?
- What would one do if they reach the maximum limit?
Hoping someone could shed some light on this for me.
Cheers!

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
vnihouarn Mar 24, 2018 9:56 PM (in response to OffaratMasr)Same problem here. I revoked the second certificate I created so I only have one certificate in the list but it still shows Maximum number of certificates generated.
What am I suppose to do ? This is so frustrating...

rwillett Nov 7, 2017 9:40 PM (in response to Ganesh Ramaswamy)Hi,
Did you ever resolve this as we now have the same issue. I've been through every post I can find and Apple has never answered any question on this. It also appears that nobody has any understanding of what the problem actually is.
Thanks
Rob

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
DelphiCoder Jan 5, 2018 5:36 AM (in response to Ganesh Ramaswamy)I'm also having the same problem, not just with IOS Development certificates but with IOS Deployment certificates and Push Notifications too.
We only have 4 apps and I need to reissue new certificates for the coming 12 months and it won't let me. I've revoked around 8 certificates that we used for testing but that made no difference - still coming up with the "Maximum number of certificates generated".
I done the same process last year without any problem at all so I'm guessing that this is something that's happened in the last few months that still hasn't been resolved.

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
gerard_spotlio Jan 8, 2018 6:34 AM (in response to DelphiCoder)Hi,
Try this:
- Access the App ID of your app. Push Notifications should be marked with an orange mark, and not green.
- Click Edit > Push Notifications > Create Certificate > Continue
- Upload your CSR file
- Download .cer and generate .p12
The orange mark will remain as orange.
Hope this helps!

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
PierreMoreau May 1, 2018 2:11 PM (in response to Ganesh Ramaswamy)I solved this by clicking on "Production" under the Certificates heading and revoking the Certificate I wanted removed (note, there was three).
Previously I was doing it from the Certificates > All section. I don't know how they're different.
I then went back to add a new certificate and the radio buttom was selectable again

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
eHealth Sep 11, 2018 9:29 PM (in response to Ganesh Ramaswamy)An Enterprise Account can have only a maximum of three iOS Distribution Certificates. However, I have a theory that each developer associated with that account can perhaps only create a maximum of one of those three certificates. Thus, if you want to create three certificates you need to sign in as three separate developers to create the certificates.
Clearly, you might have a use case like me where one developer is going to create more than on Certificate Signing Request, to create more than one Distribution Certificate, to provide each one to separate groups of developers. But it seems possible that you can't do this. Though I am searching for documentation that this is the case.

Re: Maximum number of certificates generated
NoMAD-Dev Dec 4, 2018 1:39 PM (in response to Thomas Ceyhan)OK, given that this is in the Enterprise Distribution forum I assume that we are talking about enterprise distribution certificates.
Each enterprise developer program can have 2 distribution certificates. No more are allowed than that. The idea is that you use one of them to sign your production apps and then transition to the other as the original certificate approaches expiration. Note that when I say "approaches expiration" I mean like 6-12 months ahead of the expiration. This isn't a last moment sort of change to make. In most cases the churn of regular updates to the app will serve to get your updated signing version out there.
A new wrinkle in all of this though is the recent changes to the B2B program that allow you to self-assign applications to your own organization. If you can go down this route then you can kiss all the signing and profile mess goodbye and start using TestFlight and the B2B App Store to test and distribute your apps. I wrote all of this up after running through the process after the change was announced.
