No Code Signing Identity listed

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

New user to Corona - I’m in trial mode setting things up.

I’ve signed up as apple iphone developer, received my distribution provisioning profile, copied to my user folder.

I created a folder (none existed) for the profile called ‘Provisioning Profiles’ (space between words) and put it in a folder I created called ‘MobileDevice’ (no space between words) under my user name.

I click on Open for Build in Corona, 'Build for iPhone box comes up - but drop down menu for ‘Code Signing Identity’ doesn’t show anything except : (certificate not installed).

What am I doing wrong, or does the trial version not allow this?

thanks for help anyone!

okay, nevermind, I relaunched the terminal, and corona, and for some reason it now shows up… my bad.

I’m glad you got it working. For others who may be running into similar problems:

The trial version will only allow the developer profile to be read. There’s 3 provisioning profile types, Distribution, AdHoc and Developer. AdHoc is part of the distribution profile and therefore can’t be used in the trial. You need to download the Development Provisioning Profile under the Provisioning tab in the iPhone Program Portal. If one isn’t there, you’ll need to create one. We have some documentation on all of this, though Apple recently made some changes to their site and our documentation may not be as up to date.

Feel free to drop us a line if you get stuck or confused anywhere, Apple’s process for all this can be a bit daunting.

Hello!

I’m also new to Corona…and have the exact same problem as “laurenell”.

Unfortunately, re-launching Corona does not “install” the Certificate on my machine.

I am using the trial version of Corona (and already lost several days by becoming a registered iPhone developer - what an awful and lengthy procedure) and *did* create a Development Provisioning Profile and downloaded it to the proper location. Corona recognizes the profile (with its name!) but marks it as “(certificate not installed)”.

Thus, how do I “install” the certificate?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Andreas and welcome!

Sorry to start you off with a bug! Right now there’s an issue where if you have two certificates with different dates on them in you keychain, Corona won’t recognize them. Delete the older one from your keychain access and this should resolve the problem. [import]uid: 5 topic_id: 296 reply_id: 550[/import]

#5

Hmmm,

ok, but how do I do that?

#6

Hmmm,

how do I find out which one is the older one? In my keychain manager, just the (double) keys are the only entries without a date!
I start hating the whole process…

#7

Well,

after looking through the Corona documentation again, I found out, that starting over with a new key would not affect any of the (lengthy) processes which require (obviously manual) responses from apple.

Thus, I deleted both keys, created a new one - and, a few minutes later, everything worked well.

I know have a very first application on my iphone - which looks completely different than on the simulator - but that’s a different issue…

Thanks for your help!

No one is really happy about how complicated the certificate process is through Apple, especially us. The whole point of Corona is to make your life easier! In your keychain, it should list the expiration date which is where you would get that date from.

As for your app looking different on the simulator, if you’re having troubles, send me an email and I’ll do my best to help. info@anscamobile goes straight to me. [import]uid: 5 topic_id: 296 reply_id: 560[/import]

Jeff,

meanwhile, I realized why my little app looks different in the simulator as on the real device: it contains “loadString” invocations which do not work on the actual iPhone!

Kind regards,

ALright I ran into the issue with certificate showing as not installed.

I followed the manual to a T, but somewhere Im going wrong because when I try to build to test on my device It says certificate not installed.

The provisioning profile is there.

Where have I gone wrong?

Do I need to put the certificate in a specific keychain?

ANy help would be great!

#11

ok, so Im not sure why, but the certificate is valid now and I built my 1st corona app (ad-hoc) to test on device.

I click on Open for Build in Corona, 'Build for iPhone box comes up - but drop down menu for ‘Code Signing Identity’ doesn’t show anything except : (certificate not installed).

I have my certificate’s installed in my keychain.
What am I doing wrong, I have the non-trail 1.1 version?

fixed the issue!

Hey Randy, I had the same issue, so I started over.

I ended up removing both keys, re-installing the certs, and downloading a new provision profile and everything worked fine. Now I have no issues, Ive built to for development and 2 for ad-hoc.

Now that it works, the process is a breeze! goodluck.

I had this same issue.

In my case I had misspelled one of my folder names. Make sure you have “MobileDevice” (no space and no ‘s’), and “Provisioning Profiles” (with a space and with an ‘s’ at on the end). In my case, I forgot to put the ‘s’ at the end of Provisioning Profiles. [import]uid: 33894 topic_id: 296 reply_id: 20648[/import]

#16

I too had problems with the ‘certificate not installed’ message and was becoming increasingly concerned that I would never figure it out. I tried everything suggested above and yet nothing worked. Then I decided to try restarting my laptop and what do you know, it somehow resolved itself.

Now onto some serious development. [import]uid: 29652 topic_id: 296 reply_id: 25851[/import]

#17

I can’t get it to work, too… =(

  1. I downloaded the ad hoc provisioning profile.
  2. There was no folder “MobileDevice” in the Library folder, so I created one (no spaces).
  3. Created a sub folder named “Provisioning Profiles” (with a space).
  4. Copied the profile file from the Downloads folder to “Provisioning Profiles”.
  5. Then I start Corona, load a project, click on “Build”… but I can’t choose a certificate -the list labelled “Code Signing Identity” is just greyed out =(

Some users above wrote about “installing” a certificate? Isn’t it enough to copy it into the “Provisioning Profiles” folder? How can I “install” a profile on my Mac?

When I right-click the provisioning profile file to show information, it’s path is shown exactly as it should be:
"/Users/MyName/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/My_Test_Profile.mobileprovision"

I tried re-starting Corona, re-starting my Mac, double-clicking the profile (which opens XCode), draggin the profile into iTunes (which does nothing) and, and, and… no success =(

Quite desperated now =((

Okay, got it to work.

I had to open XCode and add this profile to the list there.

This was not mentioned in your manual so it should probably be updated… =( [import]uid: 12067 topic_id: 296 reply_id: 26883[/import]
