Introduction to IOS certificates and configuration files

1.Certification (certificate) certificate is a computer development qualification certification, each developer account has a set, divided into two: 1) Developer Certification (development certificate) installed on the computer to provide permissions: the developer through the device to perform a real machine test. You can create a copy for multiple computers to install; 2) Distribution Certification (publishing certificate) installs on your computer to provide permission to publish iOS programs: Developers can make beta and release programs. Cannot generate copies, only computers configured with this certificate can be used, (the copy is described in the following keychain) 2.Provisioning profile (authorization file) authorization file is authorized for devices such as ipod Touch, IPad, iphone, The files within the file are the udid of the device and the app ID of the program, even if the authorized device can install or debug the bundle identifier program that corresponds to the app ID recorded in the authorization file. The developer account will choose the app ID when creating the authorization file (add the app ID in the developer account, select a single) and Udid (add up to 100, multi-select in the developer account under devices). The authorization file is divided into two types, corresponding to the corresponding certificate use: 1) Developer Provisioning profile (Development authorization file) is used on a computer with a development certificate or a copy, and the developer chooses the authorization file to install the program on the computer to the authorized file record device. You can perform a real-machine test. Note: Make sure that the computer has permissions to debug, that is, the development certificate or copy is installed, the bundle identifier of the program in the development tool and the app ID of the selected authorization file are consistent; The udid of the device that connects the debugs is recorded in the selected authorization file. 2) Distribution Provisioning profile (Release authorization file) makes beta and release programs on the computer that has the certificate issued (that is, the computer with the certificate). The release is the program file published to the App Store, the developer account to create an authorization file, choose the Store option, choose the app Id, no need to choose Udid, Beta is to be released before the release of the tester to sync to the program files on the device, the developer account when creating an authorization file, select Adhoc , select the app ID and Udid, and only the selected Udid device will be installed on the program that was made through that authorization file. 3.Keychain (Development key) if the certificate is installed successfully under the certificate will generate Keychain, the above mentioned certificate copy is to configure the certificate of the computer export Keychain (that is, the. p12 file) installed to another machineThe other machine to get the certificate corresponding permissions. Developer certification can make copies keychain distributed to other computers to be installed so that they can be tested on the real machine. Note: Distribution certification can only be used by computers that have a certificate configured, so even if the export export keychain is installed on another computer, it is not possible for other computers to have certificate permissions.
