After a recent
struggle to upload an app on Apple Store, I wish to share my experience based
on my current encounter with non technical client (who fails to understand the development team’s
lingo….) and team of coders (who speak only zeros
and ones…..)
Hope this helps the
one, who are facing the same problem and also adds to my knowledge if any
experts wish to add their comments.
To upload any App to
iTunes, three things are required i.e.
1) Private Key (To be
generated from MAC Machine)
2) Distribution
Certificate (To be created on Apple provisioning Portal)
3) Distribution
Profile (To be created on Apple provisioning Portal)
To create Distribution
Certificate, we need Private Key, which can be generated from MAC machine.
e.g. To upload App 1, Private Key and Distribution
Certificate is created by development
team A.
So if any other app
needs to be uploaded on iTunes by development
team A or any other team, it needs the same Distribution Certificate and Private
Key.
If development team B generates new Distribution
Certificate and Private Key by revoking the existing
certificate, created by development team
A. On this revoke profile created by development
team A became INVALID and the new profile
created by development team B become ACTIVE.
RIGHT MOVE: At this
point of time Distribution Certificate and Private Key should
have been requested from development
team A rather than creating new.
So in the current
scenario App 1 cannot be upgraded as
Distribution Certificate and Private Key have been revoked at the
time of uploading App 2.
