I need to upload an app. I have built to the app store. I’ve been following the walkthroughs and have got stuck on the bit when i download the distribution certificate.
enter image description here
my provisioning profile is listed under the provisioning profile column, ive just blanked it out. when i download the certificate, i double click it, keychain access opens and my certificate is listed in the ‘certificates’ tab, but not the ‘my certificates’ tab with no dropdown to show a private key has been created. Is there something Im missing? ive been through 4 different walkthroughs all saying i need to just double click the certificate.

Thanks in advance for any help.

    Judging by the Expiration Date this certificate was created a while ago.

    If you are using a different computer, or simply do not have the private key saved for any reason you will not be able to use this certificate. Basically, you have 2 options:

    1. Find the original private key that was used to create this certificate and import it to keychain.
    2. Simply revoke it and create a new one, don’t worry, it will not affect your ability to deploy on the App Store. Just remember to recreate distribution provisioning profiles as well.
