Certificates has private key in my keychain and provisioning profile is vaild in organizer.I have do nothing about the old APPID and device.
What's the problem? any help will be appreciated.
Thank you!

You need to download the certificate from developer.apple.com Go to Member center and then Certificate and download the certificate associated with your provisioning profile and double click on it to add it into the keychain. Then it should work.

1.get the private key form your old computer and download the certificate ,provisioning profiles .but this not fit for you.
2.create a new certificate with a CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest file in you computer .you can try this.

Valid Signing identity Not Found in Xcode

Actually i developed an app using my own developer certificates and provisioning profile.
Now i need to publish it on my client developer account and my client sent his distribution certificate along with provisioning .And I have installed the certificate and then i drag the provisioning profile to xcode, and i have got error message like "Valid signing identity not found"
Please assits me.
Change code sign in project settings.
You need the private keys that were used to sign the certificate. If you don't have them
anymore you can generate a new signing request.
You need p12 file from your client to use its developer certificate and provisioning profile.When your client provide you that p12 file than double click that file and its run perfectly.
And for geting p12 file ,select the cert, and open the arrow to also select the private key and export them together as a .p12 file from Keychain Access.
There are several ways to solve this issue.
The first one is, to export your developer certificate including the associated key from your keychain and importing it on your client machine.
The other way would be (If your client machine would use another apple dev account) to go through those steps listed here Apple Certification & Provisioning
I would recommend to delete the old certificates from xcode, sometimes xcode might lag otherwise

Provisioning Profile Issue

My Apple Certificate had expired. So i went in the Developer's Provisioning Area and Revoked My certificate. I deleted my old certificate, and old provisioning profiles.
Upon notification from my Team Lead. I downloaded the new Developer Certificate to my Mac and Dragged it into KeyChain Access. Now it shows my certificate as valid. I re-downloaded the provisioning profile for my App. and Dragged it into XCode4. The Organizer shows it to be valid but with a warning
XCode Could not find a valid private key/certificate pair for this profile in the keychain.
Have i done something wrong in my approach.
I am able to run my app on the iPAD and debug it too. But i somehow sense an issue in the above statement.
Please Help.
If you didn't recreate the provisioning profile with the new developer certificate (i.e. if you downloaded the old profile) then I think this is the problem - you will need to create a new profile with your new certificate.
You did to get the certificate key/pair from your team leader. Apple does this weird thing where it actually signs it's certificate with a "password" in order to use the certificate you have to have the "password". That's why you get XCode Could not find a valid private key/certificate pair for this profile in the keychain. I had the same thing, you can't just download the new certificate :(. If I can find the documentation of Apple that says how to do this I will post it in an edit.
Ok here is the docs: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/ios_development_workflow/10-Configuring_Development_and_Distribution_Assets/identities_and_devices.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007959-CH4-SW2
It is under "Provisioning a Device for Development", I Hope this helps!

a valid signing identity not be found?

I am trying to create a distribution build with mono for days already... I got the distribution provisioning profile and the distribution certificate from our "team agent" and drag-dropped seperately onto xcode-organizer and keychain-access, but still, there's the warning message showing :
"A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain."
and I couldn't make the distribution build still. Any idea which step I made it wrong? Please advice; much appreciated!
Thanks,

It sounds like you only have the provision file and the certificate from Apple, but not the original private key used to request the certificate.
If that's the case, you either have to ask whoever created it for a copy of private key, or you'll need to generate entirely new keys, request a new certificate and create a new provision file.
open Keychain Access
erase everything in 'Keys' and 'Certificates'
open Xcode and erase all provisioning data
goto Provisioning Portal and revoke your certificate
create a new one, and use launch assistant
If this happen after renewing the DEVELOPER CERTIFICATE,
my fix to the problem was going to the apple provision profile, modify the development provision and checkbox the certificate.(suppose to be empty checkbox near the certificate name).
then, you can : download and install the provision manually by dragging to xcode
or going to Organizer-Library(on the left)-Provision Profiles, and click the "refresh" button(in the bottom of screen), this will download the new provision profile that "connected" to the new CERTIFICATE and the warning will disappear.
If you are building to run on a physical device, you need to be enrolled in the iOS Developer Program. From there you go to the Developer Portal to generate a Provisioning Profile. That profile gets loaded to Xcode via the Organizer window.
Have you done those steps?

Issue with transferring of developer certificate and Provisioning Profile under Xcode

I am trying transfer my developer certificate under the keychain to someone. I exported the item. And also send him the provisioning profile which includes his device ID.
He installed my certificate to his keychain and also the provisioning profile to his xcode.
However, The provisioning profile under his xcode complains of there's no Valid signing Identity. Well I already sent him the certificate.
What's wrong?
You have to export the matching private key with the Developer Certificate, you can select both the private key and Certificate and export at the same time.
Does he have multiple certificates with the same name in his keychain? In which case he may have to delete the one that is not applicable for this profile when he is trying to build the app (he can reinstall the deleted certificate later). Also, ask him to delete and reinstall the profile. Is there any more information he is getting with the error?
Along with the development & distribution certificates that you provided, you also need to export your private key as a *.p12 file. When he is importing this elements into the Keychain application ensure he selects the "login" keychain.

Lost Private Key For iPhone Distribution Certificate. What could be solutions?

I have lost my private key for iPhone Distribution Certificate during an OS upgrade.
Now I want to upload a new iPhone App to the App Store and that requires me to sign the App with an iPhone Distribution Profile/Certificate. Is there any way to create a new iPhone Distribution Certificate. I did not find any "New.." option there on the developer portal.
One more question: must I have to sign the code with an iPhone Distribution Certificate to submit on the App Store? Or can I sign and upload it on the App Store with an iPhone Development certificate?
Thanks In Advance...
Revoke your current certificate, wait a few seconds and refresh the page and you should see a button "Request Certificate". You'll have to follow the Certificate Signing Request instructions again, and upload the .csr file. You'll then have to wait for your Team Administrator (could well be you) to Accept the new certificate before downloading it and installing in your KeyChain.
You'll have to create a new provisioning profile for the App, using the new certificate.
Hope this helps :)
Yes you can have a solution for this
Revoke certificate you have in distribution and get CSR again (it should be from Mac where you need key) and creat new certificate. Once you do this you will have certificate, now go to profile, you will find profile invalid, edit it and take new certificate you created and regenerate again. Download certificate and profile and use in code and you are good to go
