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.

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

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.
I have made an app for the iPhone using flash CS 5.5, tested it on a device (it works fine on there) and I'm member of the development programme. I'm attempting to upload the app to the store after filling in all the information on iTunes connect. However, when I attempt to upload the ipa file through the Application Loader (Version 2.5.2) I keep encountering the same error:
'Application failed code sign verification. The signature was invalid, contains disallowed entitlements, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate.'
I've tried creating the certificates again but still getting the same error.
Thanks for any help :)
It means that you are not using iPhone Distribution Certificate, which is required to upload apps on the app store. I'm guessing you are using a developer certificate.
Here is link how to create distribution certificate for app store submission: Steps to create a distribtution certificate.
Next time do a search you'll get plenty questions related to this topic. For example:
Application failed codesign verification?
Try again with your release certificates, and make sure that whatever you are quoting there for making the certificate should be same as you app's plist file.
Refer to this links: Building Your App for Distribution
I have iOS Developer Program membership for which i paid $99. I have installed that certificate in one system, and I'm able to run my application on my real device.
Is it possible to install this certificate on my another system, such that I can run my application on another real device? When I try to install the same certificate on another system, I'm not able to get it working.
Read Submitting iPhone Apps To The Apple App Store – A Step by Step Guide—in particular, the last paragraph, "Managing Your Digital Identities":
Also read: iOS Development Workflow Guide: Managing Devices and Digital Identities
You can definitely install the certificate on other systems. Please tell us the error message(s) you are getting.
Please make sure that you are exporting your certificates correctly and importing them on other system with the correct password.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

You have two ways to install the App in to device.
One is: you can add the new device UDID to the provisioning profile and you can run through your system
If you want to run from other system then follow the 2nd one
2nd is: You have to create a .p12 certificate from you systems keychain.
Goto -> Application -> Utilities -> KeyChains.
right click on your certificate and click export, enter some password(for security reasons). Then it will create a .p12 certificate.
You have to install this certificate in the other system by giving the specific password that you have give while creating. Then those will be installed in the other system.
Thats it. Then follow the first step, and enjoy by installing app into other device.

I have developed a number of apps using MonoTouch, and been using the emulator for the iPhone, now I need to deploy me application to my iPhone for further testing.
I have purchased the iPhone SDK from Apple, but I can't find how to deploy and activate the MonoTouch application to my iPhone.
Any pointers please?
As has been already stated you obviously need the paid version of MonoTouch and the iPhone SDK. Once you have those sorted you need to create a developer certificate in the iPhone developer portal, download it to your dev machine and add it into your keychain.
Once you have done that you must create a provisioning profile for your physical device, which again you do through the developer portal. Once you have the provisioning profile, download that to your machine, and add it to the iPhone via the Organiser app in XCode.
Then fire up MonoDevelop, and if it's all gone to plan then you should have the option of deploying the build to your iPhone. You can check that MonoDevelop has correctly detected your certs by opening up the Project Options window and under the Build section and under iPhone Bundle Signing, you should see your developer cert and provisioning profile.
Full details of the steps required on the Apple iPhone Dev Site
Here are the MonoTouch docs on building for distribution
http://monotouch.net/Documentation/Building_for_Distribution
It is my understanding that you have to have the Monotouch deployment license from Novell to deploy to a device.
According to your statement:
When I compile I get: "No Valid iPhone code signing keys found in
keychain.
This is actually a Xcode question more then a Monotouch one;
The message indicates that your keychain does not provide the signing keys used to generate the certificates and provisioning profiles.
If you follow apple's steps on generating certificate(request), followed by profiles they will also state you might want to export your private key (p13 file) and keep it somewhere safe.
If you move to another laptop for instance, you will need to import that key again to make the machine a valid one.
If something went wrong (ie: you accidentally removed your private key, ..) this message will be shown since there is no way for Xcode to verify that the profiles are being used on a valid machine.
Go to this instruction page (apple account credentials needed) to check if the steps have been followed and check in the Keychain access app on your mac if under My Certificates you see a developer certificate and - if you unfold it - you can see the private key as a child node.
i am having problem in installing provision it gies me error that "A validcode signing identity is not found in your keychain" I have tried all the possble soluton given on app.dev.troubleshooting and also on stackoverflow.com. My device before had 3.1.1 OS but it was not supprted by my Xcode version so i installed #.0 on device. so is it might be the coz?
I have chekced all my certificate and WWDR all certificates are valid. I tried everything restarting device, checking code signing identity but its not wrking. still givesthe same err
Is it not working only for the AdHoc build?
Did you create the distribution build setting?
Assign it the right code signing identity?
Did you set the proper identity string in the "properties" tab of the active target info? It should be com.YOURNAME.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}
All those steps are well explained at here.

i have another profile also but that was created for other device. and this device does not suprt thet profile.Main thing is this is not my device so i got provision also when i got device. in code signing identity it gives that cannot find anyprivate key orcertificate supprting this profile. so option for ahoc is disabled only. so am not geting what to do.
and link you given is not found can you specify the URL
