Acquiring an iOS Developer Certificate
An iOS developer certificate is a code-signing certificate, that means a digital signature that associates you and your digital identity with your applications.
On the Mac, you must create and submit a request for an iOS development certificate. For more information, see Maintaining Your Signing Identities and Certificates on the Apple documentation.
Your developer program determines the sequence and requirements you need. For specific instructions customized to your developer login, log into the iOS Dev Center. For example, the following webpages (in this case, about acquiring certificates) are only available to users logged in to a specific developer program:
| Your Apple Developer Program | Webpage | Comments |
|---|---|---|
|
Individual developer login |

Links to the Member Center and to the Development Provisioning Assistant, a wizard that creates and installs your provisioning profile and iOS development certificate for you. This makes the process much easier. |
|
Team member developer login |
If you are a member of an iOS Development Team, you should obtain your certificates from your team leader. | |
