I already made iPhone application thanks to all certificates and so on.
Now, I'm installing a second mac to develop applicaions (the same applications) so :
I generated a Certification Signin Request (with keychain)
I didn't upload it but I downloaded the Distribution Certificate (that I generated before with the old computer), and install it (in keychain again)
I Downloaded the Distribution Provisioning profile
The last File , I installed it and in Organizer, the status of the file is "Valid Signing identity not found".
How can I fix that problem ?
This is common operations but I always have trouble with all those certificates :-)
Thanks
Export your existing certificate from your old machine to your new one. This will make you skip all other stuff to do and it's easy as 1,2,3.

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
Is there any issue, if I revoke my development certificate regularly (10 times / month) ?
Let consider I'm developing 3 application using different systems with 1 development certificate and 3 provisioning profiles. Regularly I'm adding new devices to all our provisional profiles .
When installing provisioning profile in other 2 machines, Xcode Organizer shows an warning as "A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain " . So i just revoked my earlier certificate and generated new certificate request from the same machine keychain. After downloaded the new certificate, all things seems to be ok.
However other machines Xcode organizers will display the same warning when try to modify and download the provisioning profiles. So always I will fix the issue this way (revoking & regenerating new one).
So I would like to know, is there any issue, if I revoke my development certificate regularly (like account ban/block etc)?
There is no need to revoke your certificate every time.
On the system where the development certificate is installed, go to Key Chain Access and select the both certificate and key, right click to get the option to export, and then export as a file to your desktop. Now send that .p12 file to another Mac where you can double click that .p12 file to have it install in in that system's Key Chain Access. You install the certificates in just the same way, and once you have done that it will not show that message.
There are several similar questions here, but none could answer my basic question:
Is it possible to have two separate developer certificates in the keychain and two corresponding distribution profiles in Organizer?
I have my own (working) developer certificate and provisioning profile for my own iPhone apps.
Now I finished a project for a client and would like to use his developer account/certificates/provisioning profiles to submit his app to the app store on his account.
Is that even possible?
So far I downloaded and installed his certificates and they show up in my keychain, and I installed his provisioning profile in Organizer, but Organizer tells me "A valid signing identity matching this profile could not be found in your keychain.".
Likewise, the archive build fails.
I couldn't find a way to tell Organizer to use the certificate of my client instead of my own-I think this is the problem.
Thanks for any help!
Yes I've produced app store builds of projects for clients several times using their distribution certificate. No need to use their developer certificate. There are many things can could go wrong here, if you have access to the client's account you can go on to the provisioning portal and check things out:
make sure the bundle ID in the project settings exactly matches the app ID on the iOS provisioning portal (com.company.appname usually)
make sure the app store distribution provisioning profile is marked as "valid" and shows up under the distribution certificate.
make sure the app store build config in xcode references the client's distribution cert.
open your keychain and make sure that the client distribution cert also has its accompanying private key. This may be the problem, it's the part usually left out. The client must export his private key for his dist cert and send it to you in the .p12 file along with the password to the .p12 file. The dist cert can't be used to sign the app without the private key!
sometimes just quitting Xcode and restarting it helps.
See this solution to duplicate certificates: http://tapadoo.com/2012/certificates-magically-re-appearing-in-your-keychain-try-this/
The gist is that if you have an old private key and provisioning profile around, you can run into a case where Xcode will re-create an old certificate in your keychain. This will make code signing gag because it requires a single certificate with a given name. Deleting the old private key will resolve this issue.
EASY MODE
(I hate these archaic export errors so bad. So many hours wasted. I'm not religious but I still pray this helps you)
Log into https://developer.apple.com
go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
bottom left: Provisioning Profiles
Delete any duplicates / invalid profiles (in my case I only had one but it was invalid)
Note: if you're trying to export an archive, you can leave the export window open, delete a provisioning profile, then click "retry" or whatever the button says. This will save you from have to re-archive over and over

I have created a new iPhone application.I have two mach machines. I have created the certificate for running application in iPhone in one mac. Can I use the other mac for running the application in iPhone. But when I try to do so I get an error "Codesign error:Code signing is required for product type "Application" in SDK Device iPhone OS 3.1.2. Please some one help me.

krishnan.
Have you transferred your credentials to the second Mac? They are stored in your keychain.
You may need to read up on how Code-signing works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_signing
Here's an overview:
Developer creates a Certificate via a Certificate Authority (CA)
This certificate is used to 'sign' the binary, providing 'proof' of who created it
Developer then uses the Certificate to sign the binary (this is the step you're missing on the second MAC)
This is handled via xcode, assuming you've followed the detailed steps on http://developer.apple.com/iphone
Clients using the binary can now verify the Certificate against a known CA to ensure the integrity of the build.
Also check that you are code signing on the target as well when you do the Archive build
Spent hours to figure this out. Actually you need to click on Project --> Build Settings --> click target --> code sign..
THIS IS not apparent
In Developer program portal,
I created a developer certificate. I registered for my iPhone deice. And registered an App ID (In App Purchase enabled). I created a provisioning profile using the created certificate and app id details.
I followed the procedure that Apple said and created it.
I downloaded the provisioning profile and installed on Xcode and on the device.
I tried to install my application on my jailbroken iPhone device( i did jailbroken already) using the provisioning profile which i downloaded, but it throws an error as 'this provisioning profile does not have a valid signature or it has a valid but untrusted signature(or it has a valid but untrusted signature)'.
Can some one advise me what is wrong here and how to resolve it?
NOT YET RESOLVED WITH THE SUGGESTIONS PROVIDED UPTO NOW. ANY HELP PLEASE?

I had the very same issue although I set up provisioning, entitlements etc. correctly.
One cause of the error is described in http://www.onidev.com/2010/01/12/the-application-does-not-have-a-valid-signature/
Certain folder names may not be used in your app bundle. Check especially your "Copy files" build phases.
It seems this correlates with typical Apple app bundle names.
Unallowed folder names include (but are probably not limited to):
resources
contents
Renaming my folder from contents to myContents solved the problem for me.
Did you add the developer certificate and the corresponding private key to your keychain?
Not only do you have to add your own certificate (iPhone Developer: Johny Appleseed) you must also add Apple's Certificate Assigning Authority to your local keychain as well.
EDIT:
The certificate section in the program portal has the following info:
Downloading and Installing Development
Certificates In the ‘Certificates’ >
’Distribution’ section of the Portal,
control-click the WWDR Intermediate
Certificate link and select “Saved
Linked File to Downloads” to initiate
download of the certificate. On your
local machine, double-click the WWDR
Intermediate certificate to launch
Keychain Access and install. Upon CSR
approval, Team Members and Team Admins
can download their certificates via
the ‘Certificates’ section of the
Program Portal. Click ‘Download’ next
to the certificate name to download
your iPhone Development Certificate to
your local machine. On your local
machine, double-click the downloaded
.cer file to launch Keychain Access
and install your certificate. Team
Members can only download their own
iPhone Development Certificates. Team
Admins have the authority to download
the public certificates of all of
their Team Members. Apple never
receives the private key for a CSR.
The private keys are not available to
anyone except the original key pair
creator and are stored in the system
keychain of that Team Member.
The certificate assigning authority should be something like applewwdrca.cer, there are screen shots and more info in the "How To" section.
EDIT 2:
Read through this Provisioning HowTo carefully (as well as the other HowTo tabs in the program portal), provisioning is a pain in the ass tedious process, if this documentation does not fix your problem then you need to burn one of your free support cards and call Apple because there is a problem with your particular machine. You should have gotten 2 of those support requests when you entered the program, if you used them all you can buy more.
