iOS Tutorial Creating a certificate and provisioning profile

I have downgraded to B4I 3.50 and now there is no problem. @Erel might this be a bug on v 3.60?

It does not download a ZIP archive but only an IPA which I cannot upload to the itunes store.

Note that you can upload an IPA file with v3.60. The uploader accepts archives and ipa files.

You need to use an app store provision profile, not ad hoc if you are building a store ipa.

Hi, I am first trying the b4i full version, I am getting this error:

Check dependencies
Provisioning profile "App Grupo Padilla Devel Ipad" has app ID "marza.appgp.*", which does not match the bundle ID "marza.appgp".
Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.1'

Where is my mistake?

Thanks,
Manuel

Change the package name to marze.appgp.somethinghere.
Or change the app id to: *

Thank you very much Erel,
That did the work.
I appreciate it!

Hi Guys

I am trying to understand this certificate process

Here is a step by step of what I am doing and the issues I am facing

Step1
1. To start fresh I deleted all certificates and provisioning profiles
2. I created an app id with wild character (com.mytestapp.*) so i can build the B4ibridge
3. I used private sign key to generate the following 3 files: B4i.Keystore, B4i.p12 & certSigningRequest.csr
4. I used the .csr file in step 3 to create iOS Development certificate ios_development.cer
5. I create the provisioning profile for (com.mytestapp.*)
6. Now I have all 5 files in keys1 folder
7. Build B4I bridge ... so far no problem

Step2
I need to use a non wild app Id to test push notifications and firebase ( I know that I should use Adhoc etc,,, for firebase, but in general what if this was needed)
1. I create a new app id, for example: com.aba.app
2. I create a new folder keys2 on my local machine
3. I use the new app id and I use private sign to generate the following 3 files: B4i.Keystore, B4i.p12 & certSigningRequest.csr for the new app in the keys2 folder
4. going back to the developers console, If I click on certificates-> development, I see iOS Development greyed and (Maximum number of certificates generated) ... This is the first problem
Does anyone know why and how to workaround this issue??

Step3
I revoke the certificate I created in Step1 and repeat Step1 for com.aba.app. Now I have the B4Ibridge and the app both working ok.

Somehow the second day, b4ibridge stops working... I am not sure if this is related to Step3. I find myself repeating the above steps everyday.


Also while I was reading in the apple discussions form, someone said:
" You will use the same development certificate for all your apps development provisioning profiles", is this true? and if yes why:
1. When I try to create a development certificate I am prompted to select .csr (which i believe is related to app id/bundle)?
2. If I try copying the .csr file created in Step 1 and move it to Keys2 project, the compilation fails


Can someone please clarify what I am doing wrong in here.

Hello! I have problems at the stage of "Private Sign Key". When I click Create New
I'm having a crash

When I do execute the Prodaction step inside the apple.developer I do not find the certSigningRequest.scr
Therefore I can not go to next step by your video instruction

There is a problem using the recommended method to get your device UDID if you are running iOS 12.x because it requires device management profiles to be installed over a HTTPS connection. It seems that get.udid.io isn't HTTPS, or the site certificate isn't valid.

You can use iTunes to get the UDID -> https://www.innerfence.com/howto/find-iphone-unique-device-identifier-udid

- Colin.

I'm able to get the the UDID with https://www.getudid.io/

You need to go to Settings - General - Profiles - get udid profile. Click install to install it. The web page is then opened with the udid.

You cannot install your app on any device without an Apple developer account.

@Erel an Apple developer account is needed (spending 99$) even to install the app on the device simulator included in Xcode (on a local macOS installation)?

1. Wrong place for this question.
2. No, an Apple developer is not required to develop with the simulator.
3. See the requirements section: https://www.b4x.com/b4i.html
