Maximum number of certificates generated

I'm having the same problem.  What kind of silly restriction is this?

Same problem here! I want to create a new certificate for launching an app on my ios devices but i can't generate an ios app development.

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

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:

1. How many is the actual maximum limit?
2. Is there a way to reset this?
3. Is this is just a temporary hindrance? For how long?
4. What would one do if they reach the maximum limit?

Hoping someone could shed some light on this for me.

Cheers!

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

I have the same exact problem! 

I too have the same probile.IOS development certificates limit reached. How to create new one to generate the p12 certficate.

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.

Soooo.... Can somebody tell me what to do when you only have one certificate but it still says

(Maximum number of certificates generated)

Apple people, no answer ?

I'm also having the same problem.

The same problem. Only one active development certificate and I can't create more. It's needed for other developers in our team.

Can we know what we can do with just one? Seems like a joke

Hi, I'm having the same issue, did anyone get this resolved?

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

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.

I am having the same issue, any updates?

I have the same issue here!

I hope someone from Apple reading this post! Please fix the issue!
