Acquiring an iOS Developer Certificate


An iOS developer certificate is a code-signing certificate, 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 the Apple documentation

Your developer program determines the sequence and requirements that you need. For specific instructions, customized for your developer login, log into the iOS Dev Center. For example, the following webpages (in this case, about acquiring certificates) are available only to users logged in to a specific developer program:
