App Store and Ad Hoc disabled

Question

When i try to create a App Store and Ad Hoc distribution option, its disabled in my apple account, where sometimes iOS App Development option also disabled.How to create a distribution certificate .Can any one please help me?

Solution 1

You have reached to the limit of maximum number of "Ad Hoc Distribution Certificates" which is 3. To create new one you must revoke an old one.

Solution 2

For Development certificate the limit is 2 and for Production certificate the limit is 3

There is a limit? Didn't know that. What is the limit?

[Mohammad Faisal]

It is 3. Don't know why apple keeping this as a surprise to developers.

I only have 2 "Production" certificates shown in my certificate list but the option is still not available to me. Any other reasons why this can happen?

[Mohammad Faisal]

So I noticed. Thanks Aura

I'm on an enterprise account it it looks like its 2 for Inhouse & Ad-Hoc

So for any enterprise program only two people can build apps to distribute from their machine because they will have generated the necessary private key pair when creating the certificate. Can this private key be shared among machines then?

[Ian MacDonald]

@Md1079 yes, you can export private keys from Keychain Access. Command-click on the private key and choose "export". You'll get a .p12 that can then be shared to other computers.

Just to clarify: does revoking a certificate used to publish an app in PRD, affects this app anyway?

@Ian MacDonald: Which private key is the relevant one to save ?

[JiteshW]

Is this limit is applicable for any time period? Or will I have to create a new account.
