Are Development & Distribution Certificates Necessary for Uploading?
Welp, here's my scenario. If anyone is able to provide any insight, it is IMMENSELY appreciated. Here goes:
- I've hired an off-site developer to code an app for me
- The app is finished. Looks great, works squeeky-clean.
- Before the developer is able to load it onto iTunes for Apple approval, he is asking for me to send him a copy of the Distribution Certificate converted to .p12 format...
NOW... here's the snag:
I can't convert it to .p12 format. I'm on my boss' computer, which only allows me guest logon privileges, so no modifying the cert in KeyChain Access.
My question is this: Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary that this hired developer has the certificates sent from us? We've added his name to our developer list on iTunes connect, and he's able to log in and download the certs, yet he's claiming that because they were originally created on my computer, the only way he would be able to load the apps to iTunes is with that cert in .p12 format. This seems strange because we've hired other off-site developers to code apps, and they've never had any issues like this, I don't recall.
Is it possible that my coder is simply inexperienced and is missing something? Good grief, I would love to find an answer to this pondering.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may shed any light.
