[holdemadvantage]

Hi all, i am developing my first app (migrating it from b4a)
I am trying to figure out if i have to create a new key folder and redo all the process here , different for each app or if i can save some certificates equal for all app, thanks in advance

You can use the same certificate and provisioning profile for all your apps.

Hi,

I want to distribrute the ipa by Testflight. TestFlight say's that the IPA is signed with my developer profile.

I have made at new profile for my app and downloaded til the key folder, but B4I says there only can be one mobileprofile.

What have I done wrong?

The simplest way to handle multiple keys is to create different folder for each key and then set the key under Tools - Configure Paths.

Ok, I tried that.

But get this error. Does the mobileprovision file har to be named spicefic?

I have made a dir with the files from "Keys" and replaced b4i.mobileprovision with the one from developer.apple.com specific to my app

Did you create the provision file from the same certificate?

You can always revoke the certificates and create new ones from scratch.

I have same error message building ipa file for production : "Code Sign error: No codesigning identities found: No codesigning identities (i.e. certificate and private key pairs) that match the provisioning profile..."
I have created a new folder "Keys-product"( see uploaded) and set the path to this folder Tools -> Configure Paths
It seems that the certifcate distribution and Private Key no match with provisioning profile.
1°) What is Private Key?
2°) Perhaps I have obtained a wrong "certificate distribution". Can I revoke it and keep the "certificate developpement"?
3) What is the good way to obtain "certificate distribution"?
I really struggle to produce my application, I am really very bad. A real "billel" in French "!! I suffer!!

You should follow the steps here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/creating-a-certificate-and-provisioning-profile.45880/

You can always delete all the files in the keys folder and revoke the certificates + provision files and start from scratch.

OK. I think I found my mistake. I used to get the production certificate another certSigningRequest.csr different from that used for the development of cerificat. In fact I used the certSigningRequest.csr given by my Apple computer. Bad indicated on the website of mac developers.
Sorry.
