Creating a P12 Certificate

Table of Contents

Introduction

A .p12 file contains the certificates Apple needs in order to build and publish apps.

Setup

In addition to emailing your four ad hoc provisioning profiles to support@owncloud.com, you must also include your P12 certificate. To create this, return to Keychain Access on your Mac computer and find your private key that you created at the beginning (see Create Certificate Signing Request).
