Graham, For me, one problem is that I use the signing and deployment system so seldom that I forget the idiosyncrasies when I delve back not the Apple Developer site. I then may duplicate certificates or provisioning profiles, and that confuses everything. One of the most useful buttons I clicked, on App Wrapper 3 (or was it Monte's stack) listed my certificates and warned me of duplicates. Them, when OS's get upgraded and Xcode versions change, it can get more of a mess.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a livecode stack that could examine your setup and figure all this out? I did get a lot of useful information from the log files in Monte's signing app, though.
