I’ve built a dummy app and I’ll like to test it on my iPhone.

  • 0

I’ve built a dummy app and I’ll like to test it on my iPhone. I know that I need to be enrolled in apple developer program and I’m in. I don’t have a MAC, so I had to rent one from macincloud[dot]com.

At this moment, I need to generate a signing certificate request, but I don’t have access to Keychain Access utility. The guys from macincloud offer access to the terminal, but not to Keychain Utility. I know that I need to use security tool from command line, but that’s all.

After 6 hours on two different days, I didn’t find any tutorial/description about how to use the security tool in order to generate the signing certificate request.

Do you have any idea about what do I need to do in command line to generate a signing certificate request?

    Run the following in the terminal:

    openssl genrsa -out mykey.key 2048

    Save this private key file as you will use it later.

    Run the following command, replacing the e-mail address, CN (certificate name), and C (country) values with your own:

    openssl req -new -key mykey.key -out CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest -subj "/emailAddress=yourAddress@example.com, CN=John Doe, C=US"

    Now in iOS Dev Portal, just use the generated CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest
