Select Xcode > Preferences from the navigation bar.

If you are already done with this, you can skip to step 6. Generate a Code Signing Certificate using Xcode ¶įirst you have to add your Apple ID to Accounts preferences in Xcode. Apple will then verify the information, and create a certificate for you. This will create a public/private key for you if you don't have one already.

To get a certificate, you need to generate a Certificate Signing Request with Keychain Access and send it to Apple. The certificates - development or distribution - are the guarantee that you, the named developer, built this code, that you are a member of the developer program, and that Apple have issued you with a certificate to do so. You'll need two kinds of files to sign your app: Certificates and Provisioning Profiles.
