io: ios app development option greyed out

Question

I just signed and created a certificate with keychain access, then in the developer portal I click certificates->developer->+ and when I am prompted for What type of certificate do you need? under development ios app development is greyed out.

Does any one know why this is? Do I need to revoke a certificate?

Answer 1

from IOnic help document through CLI option: http://docs.ionic.io/v2.0.0-beta/docs/ios-build-profiles

Try with below option : Create the p12 Certificate using OpenSSL

Download your iOS certificate to the same directory as your private RSA key. We'll need it to create the Certificate.p12 file.

First, we need to change the format of the iOS certificate to PEM.

Shell :

openssl x509 -inform DER -outform PEM -in ios_development.cer -out ios_development.cer.pem Now that the iOS certificate is in the proper format, we can create the Certificate.p12 file.

Shell : openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey keyname.key -in ios_development.cer.pem -out Certificate.p12

You will be prompted to enter a password, which will be used to protect the exported certificate. Give it something you can remember!

Even I had this situation and I solved it (made it enabled) using the following steps.

1. Remove the expired development certificates from Certificates/Development.

2. Revoke the unused development certificates.

3. Now click on the + button and you are free to select the

   iOS App Development option.

Answer 5

You can only request one development certificate per user. Either log in as the user you want to request a certificate for, or remove the existing certificate(s) for the user you are logged in as. No need to delete everything.
