Missing code-signing certificate

Excellent advice.  

I actually do something like that.

  • Clone of system drive after rebuild + apps installed. (Worst case system drive restore).
  • Weekly clone of system drive and data drives onto separate media. 
  • Daily shadow backup of data drive.

I once had a major drive crash in the middle of writing a book and lost several chapters (about 6 months of work).  I’ll never let that happen again.

Now iTunes is keep showing “installing”… it never finishes :frowning:
Aaaaaaaaaaa! :slight_smile:

Hi horacebury,

How did you solved this?

I have the same problem.

Thank you.

Oh yeah, clean out everything. In the end I had to redo everything from the start. It’s not that painful and is probably good as a learning curve to practice the whole thing.

I’ve been there too.  I usually just rebuild my machine if the keychain gets too messed up or if  I have got a bunch of old certificates I don’t need any more.

Not a great way to handle it, but I’ve never mastered certificate maintenance on OS X, and as a Windows guy I’m probably never going to spend the time to learn.

 i.e. OS X builds for me are quick as I don’t have any special apps on my Mac except Corona and an app for Keyboard sharing.  Windows rebuilds on the other hand take me a week to recover from…

If you are rebuilding regularly I would recommend getting your machine to a good state and making an image of the drive, whether it’s a PC or Mac. Restores then are simple and quick. Personally, I found that just cleaning up the keychain and pulling down the Cerys again is usually enough. XCode gets confused occasionally but a full wipe shouldn’t be necessary.

Thank you horacebury.

Thank you romainggamer.

I will try to resolve this,  it is really frustrating!  :frowning:

For the last two days I am dealing with this, and app is ready  :blink:

So, my steps, if I remember rightly, were…

Create a new app ID.

Create a new certificate for it (this needs to be requested via Keychain Access).

Create a new provisioning profile.

Delete all the provisioning profiles on your Mac.

Load Xcode and let it download all the provisioning profiles itself.

Load Corona (make sure it’s not running while the above is happening) and build for device, selecting the new provisioning profile.

Usually, that works. If you’re app still doesn’t get accepted by the device, it’s probably a problem with the app code itself and you should test with a completely different app.

Hi horace,

I will try as soon as I install new xCode 7.0.1 update!

AppStore servers are having problems, and I get “plist” error, as well as “503” error…

Also, when I tried to download it at apple member center portal, download always stops at 319.5MB (with a message “The connection was timed out”…).

Thank you.
