Question

I have made an iPhone app for the client. Now the Client wants that I should submit his app from his account.

I tried doing that but I am facing a problem.

I downloaded the Provisioning Certificates and Distribution Profile from my client’s account but still I am not able to get the private key.

I asked my client to import the private key from his keychain and give it to me for submission of the app. but there is no private key in his keychain.

It might be a case where in he had previously hired a developer who hasn’t given him the private key.

How can I gain that private key?

Or is there a way to re-generate it?

If Yes, How can we re-generate?

Please Help and Suggest.

Thanks

I would highly advise you to re-generate the certificates and provisioning profiles for the new app.

Basically, if you have the source code, start from scratch, in iTunes Connect and in Provisioning Portal.

Generate all new certificates and provisioning profiles, and change the bundle id. You will have to change the name, for example from MyApp to MyApp – Does Something, or whatever as iTunes Connect will not allow you to delete app names, or reuse them.
