thanks @Filippo
I found that all the files are already exists in the key folder since the first setting.
will I create a new distribution certificate and provision file or use the old ones??
however, in this topic I carried out step 1 to 4 but when I Compile my app in Release mode I get this error:

error: Missing private key for signing certificate.

Delete all the ceritificate/provision on developer.apple and start again the tutorial.

if it is your first app then also better start with a clean folder for your key/certificates following the tutorial.

also check:
● the path are correct to your key's folder (b4i tools->path configuration)
● in your project b4i App update the new certificates (only important if in your folder you have more that one certifiactes/mobileprovision)

Thanks for help @f0raster0
this is my first application to upload to apple store.
then I will delete all the certificate/provision on developer.apple and start again the tutorial.

Do I need to create a new distribution certificate and new provision file for every application or can I use the original ones?

 

[f0raster0]

yes, you can use just one for all your App.

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/managing-multiple-certificates-provision-files.48539/

Notes:
Every year you have to update the certificates/mobileprovision for your App (without doing anything in your b4i App)

After uploaded your App on Apple , if needed you can delete and create again your cerfiticates, you App will be not affected.
