Push certificate not appearing when creating a profile in iOS dev portal

Question

I've created a dev push certificate for my app (following these steps http://www.raywenderlich.com/32960/apple-push-notification-services-in-ios-6-tutorial-part-1)

and I can see the certificate appearing in the certificates section of the portal.

Now I'm trying to create a provisioning profile which includes the certificate, however when the portal asks which certificate(s) to include in the profile the one I just created is not listed.

I have triple-checked that the app id I used to create the certificate is the same as the app id I am using to create the profile - and if I examine the app id the green dot has appeared next to the push enabled section.

So why is the certificate not appearing as an option when creating the profile?

Answer 1

Provisioning profile certificates are separate from push notification certificates. You probably need to generate a developer certificate instead.

Answer 2

Push certificate is just an SSL certificate for your web server or 3rd party service. Nothing to do with provisioning. Just be sure to have the same bundle ID.
