Lost Private Key For iPhone Distribution Certificate. What could be solutions?

Tags:

iphone

I have lost my private key for iPhone Distribution Certificate during an OS upgrade. Now I want to upload a new iPhone App to the App Store and that requires me to sign the App with an iPhone Distribution Profile/Certificate. Is there any way to create a new iPhone Distribution Certificate. I did not find any "New.." option there on the developer portal.

One more question: must I have to sign the code with an iPhone Distribution Certificate to submit on the App Store? Or can I sign and upload it on the App Store with an iPhone Development certificate?

Thanks In Advance...

How do I get a private key for Apple distribution certificate?

Click on the plus sign to add a new certificate. Select "App Store and Ad Hoc" option, and click Continue. Follow the steps printed in the webpage. That involves opening the Keychain application on your Mac and generate a Certificate Signing Request from there.

How do I fix a private key certificate?

Assign the existing private key to a new certificateSign in to the computer that issued the certificate request by using an account that has administrative permissions. Select Start, select Run, type mmc, and then select OK. On the File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-in. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, select Add.

What happens if I revoke iOS distribution certificate?

If your certificate is revoked, your passes will no longer function properly. If your Apple Developer Program membership is valid, your existing apps on the App Store won't be affected. However, you'll no longer be able to upload new apps or updates signed with the expired or revoked certificate to the App Store.

Revoke your current certificate, wait a few seconds and refresh the page and you should see a button "Request Certificate". You'll have to follow the Certificate Signing Request instructions again, and upload the .csr file. You'll then have to wait for your Team Administrator (could well be you) to Accept the new certificate before downloading it and installing in your KeyChain.

You'll have to create a new provisioning profile for the App, using the new certificate.

Hope this helps :)
