I think it might be very helpful to know how the Apple Developer Web site, Xcode, and keychain interact on the Mac. One thing that is confusing me on the developer site, is when I try to make a new provisioning profile, it says there are no available certificates. Yet, when I go to the certificates section of the developer site, there are several certificates for iOS.
It seems that I should delete all profiles and certificates and start from scratch. But I go to the keychain and see a bunch of certificates that don’t show up on the developer site. So, I have the following questions: 1. What is the relationship between certificates stored on dev site, and the keychain? I think certificates are resident on the keychain, but how do I synchronize what the dev site thinks I have and what keychain thinks Imhave? 2. Provisioning profiles. I know that livecode and Xcode stores provisioning profiles in the mobile device folder in the user’s library (/users/user/library/mobiledevice/Provisioning Profiles/) This is where livecode gets them. The dev site creates them and I can download all of them from Xcode, or individually from the dev site. If I download from the dev site, I can double click on the profile and it gets loaded into Xcode and appears in the above library. I can alternatively, use Xcode to download all profiles I have created on the dev site. All of this requires valid, recognized certificates. This seems to be the problem and the big number of certificates that appear on keychain is in contrast to the few that show up on the dev site. I tried to test an app that previously loaded to the iPhone, but when I tried to make a new a provisioning profile, it said there were no certificates available. Hmmm, the provisioning profile for my current app was created without objections and used a certificate on the dev site. So, do I need a separate certificate for each app? So..... perhaps I have gotten into too many details, but have I made my confusion over this agonizing process clear? Perhaps if I could clean out all existing certificates and start over, I would succeed. But, if I could clear up some of my confusion, I could better solve these problems on my own. Btw, Colin, I looked at the console error log and I didn’t see anything that stood out. The transfer of my app to the iPhone seems to time out during the signing process, so I’m guessing there is some kind of certificate problem. I will be very thankful for any help on this, or reference to docs that might help.
