ESprocesses and requirements
To complete the process, we need a .p12 cert file to handle your push notifications with our systems, but we know that the process can be a bit confusing. Here is our step-by-step guide on how to get a .p12 file.
You will need a few things before you start:
Accessing a Mac computer NOTE: This is a requirement of Apple
An Apple developer account. Apple Developer account
Creating a p12 file can be a bit confusing the first time, as you need to use pieces of software that often go unnoticed on your computer, as well as the iOS developer web interface (which has improved in recent years).
We have divided the process into three steps, which should help you through the process:
1. Create a file ".certSigningRequest" (CSR)
Open Keychain Access on your Mac (search in applications / utilities).
In the main Access to the KeyChain window, make sure you do not have a private key already selected, otherwise this process will not work correctly.
From the toolbar, open the access to Keychain> Preferences.
In the pop-up window that appears, click the Certificates tab.
Set "Certificate Status Online Protocol" and "Certificate Revocation List" to "Off" (as in the previous screen).
Close the window
Go back to the toolbar, open Keychain Access> Certificate Wizard> Request a certificate from a certificate authority.
Enter the email address and common name that you used to sign up for the iOS Developer Program. NOTE: The name must be the developer's name as it appears in your Apple developer account
Leave the CA email blank, make sure "Saved to disk" is selected and "Allow me to specify key pair information" is checked.
Clic Continue
Choose a filename and destination on your hard drive (for example, "certificate.certSigningRequest").
Clic Save
For "Algorithm" choose "RSA".
Clic continue
This will create and save your certSigningRequest (CSR) file to your hard drive. A public and private key will also be created in the Access to Keychain with the name you previously entered(e.g. Jo Smith).
2. Create the ".cer" file in your Apple developer account
3. Install .cer and generate .p12
