Hi Guys,

I have some question regarding Apple development certificate:

1)I have one distribution certificate and one development certificate for my first Corona game

Now I want to develop second game with Corona, Do I need another certificate for my second game ?

I generated Certificate request from my key chain assistant and save it on my desk top.
Then I logged in my apple development account, and like to submit the Certificate request for approval,I navigate to ‘Certificates’ > ‘Development’ , but there is NO ‘Add Certificate’ button , it only shows my current development certificate, below “Action” is “Download”, and on the right side of download is “Revoke”, there is no ‘Add Certificate’.

Can any one help?

Thanks

Hello mila!

So as I understand you do not need to get another “Developer Certificate” from Apple instead you do need to get is a New Provisioning Profile and create new AppIDs when you make a new app.

Your Developer Certificate should be just renewed at the end of it anual license and just it.

Hope that helps!

Just to clarify:

You generally have one certificate for your developer account and you use that to create an AppID (a 10 character string plus your BundleID (com.sitename.gamename)

Then you create provisioning profiles that combine the two along with what your trying to do with the app:

Then for each app, there are really 3 practical provisioning profiles:

Development: You can load the app on your phone or other devices that have been added to the provisioning profile. The app will have debugging symbols kept and you need to build an app with this to run Insturments to leak check.

Distribution (Ad Hoc): Debugging symbols are stripped and the production version of this app can be installed on devices in the provisioning profile, but cannot be loaded to the App Store. If you’re using TestFlight to get your app to testers, then you need to build an app using this profile.

Distribution (App Store): This profile will not have specific phones that it can only run on and has to be distributed from iTunes. You build this app and upload it to the App Store.

To summarize:

Sign up for your paid developer license.
Create your certificate following the instructions.

Then for each app, create a new App ID
Create 3 provisioning profiles (Development, Distribution Ad Hoc and Distribution (for the app store).
Download these profiles and put them in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles on your Mac.

Use Corona SDK to build the app, selecting the profile for what you wan to do.
