io: ios app development option greyed out

Question

I just signed and created a certificate with keychain access, then in the developer portal I click certificates->developer->+ and when I am prompted for What type of certificate do you need? under development ios app development is greyed out.

Does any one know why this is? Do I need to revoke a certificate?

Answer 1

You can only request one development certificate per user. Either log in as the user you want to request a certificate for, or remove the existing certificate(s) for the user you are logged in as. No need to delete everything.

Answer 2

Figured it out.

1. Revoke all developer certificates.
2. Click certificated again to refresh

Works!

Even I had this situation and I solved it (made it enabled) using the following steps.

1. Remove the expired development certificates from Certificates/Development.

2. Revoke the unused development certificates.

3. Now click on the + button and you are free to select the

   iOS App Development option.
