Certificates

Follow these steps to generate and install development and distribution certificates

Create a certificate

The easiest way to create and install certificates is via Xcode.

Open Xcode and go to Xcode > Preferences > Accounts

Open Accounts

Select the correct Apple ID and Team, and press "Manage Certificates".

Press the + icon and select Distribution or Development. This will create a new certificate for the account and install the certificate in your keychain.

Create a new certificate

Open Keychain on your mac, and find the created certificate. Right click and press Export.

Export the certificate to a p12

Select p12 and save to your Desktop.

Make sure you delete this certificate from your desktop once finished

Save on your Desktop

Go to 1password, create a new document. Add a password field and generate a new secure password. Use this password to protect the certificate.

Enter a secure password

Upload the certificate from your desktop to 1password for other developers to download.

Store on 1password and delete from your local machine

Validate App

To ensure codesigndoc picks up the new certificates, you'll need to validate the app.

Select "Any iOS device" as the build target in Xcode.

Go to Product > Archive and wait for the project to be built.

This will open the Organizer window. Select the most recent build and press "Validate" in the sidebar. Keep all the default options, and continue selecting "Next".

Validate the app

Once the app is validated, you can upload the certificates to Bitrise, or go straight to the app store through the Organizer.
