Why so complicated I really don't know....

So my Certificate ran out of date (WHY?) and I re-created it the same way as before.

Certificated (one for Dev one for Dist)
Identifiers (one for mycompanyname.*)
Devices (no change same list as before of UDIDs)
Provisioning Profiles (one for Dev one for Dist)

Then I build the B4i Bridge App, all fine using the Dist Provisioning Profile and Certificate generated.

But it wont load on my device, Why?

Also, do I even need both Dev and Dist?

First of all use production ssl certificate with adhoc distrbuition profile. This way you can use 1 provision and certificate for both development and distrbution. If you have the devices in provision profile and you have the ca.pem installed on your device , it should install the bridge without problems.

Thanks for your reply....

Sorry, I really don't understand any of the "Apple" stuff

You say to create a production SSL certificate ?

Is this the one?

Apple Push Notification service SSL (Sandbox & Production)
Establish connectivity between your notification server, the Apple Push Notification service sandbox, and production environments to deliver remote notifications to your app. When utilizing HTTP/2, the same certificate can be used to deliver app notifications, update ClockKit complication data, and alert background VoIP apps of incoming activity. A separate certificate is required for each app you distribute.

How will that help, I don't want to create a new one for every App I create !!!!!!

Surely there is a SIMPLE way to do one simple certificate and one simple do everything token, tag, key whatever to SIMPLY develop any app I like to test immediately OR send to the Apple store ??????

No while creating a certficate choose
App Store and Ad Hoc
production

and when you create a provision file choose ad hoc under ditrubution.

you can use this combination for all apps.

Perfect, Thank you for helping get passed this hurdle, I must have wasted a whole day on this.

Erel perhaps you could update your initial install notes to include this setup option...
