Distribution certificate / private key not install

问题:

Using Xcode 9.1, after building an iOS app, I want to archive it and upload it to the appStore for beta-testing. But I get the following issue after clicking the button Upload to the App Store... and choosing Automatically manage signing:

"My Name" has one iOS Distribution certificate but its private key is not installed.

I do not know why this "private key is not installed", but the Distribution certificate may have been created on a different computer or something. In any case:

What is the simplest way to retrieve the missing private key and install it? In order to make things work.

回答1:

You can only have one distribution certificate. It unites a public key, known to Apple, with a private key, which lives in the keychain of some computer. If this distribution certificate was created on another computer, then the private key is on the keychain of that computer. And this distribution certificate does not work without it.

So to use this distribution certificate on this computer, you must find that computer, open Keychain Access, locate and export the private key, mail it or otherwise get it to this computer, and import it into the keychain of this computer.

If you go into the Accounts pref pane in Xcode and double-click your Team, you'll see a dialog that gives you help with this. If you see your distribution certificate and it says Not In Keychain, you can control-click that certificate to get a menu item that lets you email whoever created the certificate and ask them to send it to you. That person can use this same import to choose Export Certificate and can email you exported certificate.

Either way, the private key or exported certificate will be passworded. You'll need to know the password in order to use it.

This answer is for "One Man" Team to solve this problem quickly without reading through too many information about "Team"

Step 1) Go to web browser, open your developer account. Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. Select Certificates / Production. You will see the certificate that was missing private key listed there. Click Revoke. And follow the instructions to remove this certificate. Step 2) That's it! go back to Xcode to Validate you app. It will now ask you to generate a new certificate. Now you happily uploading your apps.

EDIT: I thought that the other computer is dead so I'm fixing my answer:

You should export the certificate from the first computer with it's private key and import it in the new computer.

I prefer the iCloud way, backup to iCloud and get it in the new computer.

If you can't do it with some reason, you can revoke the certificate in Apple developers site, then let Xcode to create a new one for you, it'll also create a fresh new private key and store it in your Keychain, just be sure to back it up in your preferred way

回答5:

Add a new Production Certificate here, then download the .cer file and double click it to add it to Keychain.

All will be fine now, don't forget to restart Xcode!!!

回答6:

revoke all distribution certificate for developer.apple.com and the validate your app in Xcode there will be the option to create a new distribution certificate after you can export key for further use.

This work for me.

回答7:

If you are using the certificate in a new computer or not. The easiest thing to do would be to revoke the previous certificate relating to the project. Then re-upload to the store. Xcode will generate a new one.

Just for anyone else who goes through this, the answers above are correct but it can still be a bit confusing especially if you have multiple certificates. These were the steps that I took:

1) First take note of the date in the actual distribution certificate that is missing it's private key. Then go to the keychain application on the other computer and type IOS in the search bar. It will show all of your IOS Developer and Distribution keys so you have to find the right one.

2) Click the right arrow of each IOS Distribution entry to reveal the certificate and find the one with the correct date and export that one by right clicking and selection export.

3) Then just import it in the keychain of the new computer and at least with XCode 9.3 it immediately recognizes it and corrects the error so you can now upload your achieve.

回答9:

People's answer here about having the key from the computer is generated are accurate. But if things are still failing, try restarting Xcode after installing a cert

回答10:

1. go to this link https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list

2. find certificate name in your alert upload then

3. Revoke certificate that

4. if you have certificate you download again
5. upload testflight again

回答11:

In my case Xcode was not accessing certificates from the keychain, I followed these steps:

1. delete certificates from the keychain.
2. restart the mac.
3. generate new certificates.
4. install new certificates.
5. clean build folder.
6. build project.
7. again clean build folder.
8. archive now. It works That's it.
