Question

i am trying to Converting a developer certificate into a P12 file as a describbed here using Virtual Machine mac....but when converting

Personal Information Exchange (.p12) file format is disabled what should i do

Answer 1

The .p12 option is disabled because, you only selected either the private key or the certificate on your machine. You need both of them for creating a .p12 file.

Steps to create .p12 file:

1. Run the Keychain Access Application on your Mac.
2. Select the login keychain from the top-left panel
3. Select “My Certificates” from the “Category” menu in the left panel
4. Find your iPhone Developer/Distribution Certificate. DO NOT select iPhone Developer/Distribution: My Company
5. Expand this item, and inside you should see the Private Key.
6. Select BOTH the key and the certificate (Hold CMD and click both items)
7. Right click and select Export 2 Items...
8. Save your key in the Personal Information Exchange (.p12) file format, and call the file “Certificates.p12”
9. You will be prompted to create a password that is used when you attempt to import this key on another computer
10. Enter a password and save
