Hi,

I realise you’ve been very busy with the release of the preview 2.1 but I’m in need of urgent assistance with getting a .p12 certificate. The private.key and .csr I generated to create my Apple Developer certificate and profiles are fine for MobiOne .ipas but unfortunately I have other needs for apis etc, that are asking for a .p12 and the private.key is unable to load and create in openSSL on windows. I could completely start again and generate another request .csr in openSSL rather use your generating service but it is very impractical. Can you please help?

The other thing is for the same reasons and submission to the App Store we need a .plist for each app. I read a topic somewhere here that suggested the .plist was generated at download from MobiOne’s App Center, but I’ve not received one with the .ipa I did the other day. Do you generate one normally?

Many thanks.

Hi cutproductions,

Follow the next steps to make a P12 file from the Apple-provided certificate and the private key (assuming that the certificate request and private key were generated by the online Digital Signing Data Generator tool):
openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -nocrypt -in private.key -out private.rsa
openssl x509 -inform DER -in ios_distribution.cer -out ios_distribution.crt
openssl pkcs12 -export -out ios_distribution.p12 -inkey private.rsa -in ios_distribution.crt

It should prompt for a password to use for the P12 file.

About your .plist question: the IPA is really just a ZIP file. All the generated PLists are in the IPA file. Hope this is helpful for you
