I have used OneSignals Provisonator to generate a .p12 and .cer file.
The problem comes when I have to upload the certificate to PhoneGap build, because PhoneGap Build also wants a Provisioning Profile.
On the Apple Developer website, I create a provisioning profile but I do not see the certificate created by the provisonator.
I have no idea how to create it using the certificate created previously. Also because the Provisonator does not give me a .csr file :(
Any help...PLEASEEEE!!
OneSignal's Provisionator is used to generate a certificate for push notifications, not for code signing apps. You need separate code signing certificate for development and distribution. You cannot set up a provisioning profile with an APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) certificate.
If you look in the Phonegap documentation, it will explain how to set up your code signing.

I am having an error like Xamarin.ios Error MSB6006: "codesign" exited with code 1 except this is when I am doing "Archive for Publishing" which is a step to publish Xamarin.ios. Can you guys please assist me with this? Thank you.
About publishing to App Store :
First , need to Create and install an App Store provisioning profile .
iOS uses provisioning profiles to control how a particular application build can be deployed. These are files that contain information about the certificate used to sign an app, the App ID, and where the app can be installed. For development and ad hoc distribution, the provisioning profile also includes the list of allowed devices to which you can deploy the app. However, for App Store distribution, only certificate and App ID information are included since the only mechanism for public distribution is the App
Store.
Second, Update the Release build configuration
The last , Build and submit your app .
Note : If using Automatical Provisioning will see a Team Account there .
Or Manual Provisioning will select the provisioning file directly .
This is my first time cloning a repo for a project that is on the store and using apns (not my app).
In Github I cloned the repo using the clone to Xcode option and it's in my local directory. Naturally they have a team of devs and certificates and company profile already set up.
When I open the Xcode project the signing (Debug) (Release) (Product) Provisioning Profiles in Xcode are red.
I cannot just use my own Apple ID Team profile right? So do I need to ask them for their keys or certs so I can copy them to the local cloned project directory?
The app uses apns. When I test and run the app how do I have authorization to run that app on my device? Do they also need my device ID?
You need to get the certificate along with key exported in .p12 format from the person who has created it or you should log in to their developer account and create a new certificate and using that certificate create new provisioning profile.
To run the app in your device, that device must be added in the device list and should be included in the provisioning profile.
There is automatic signing in option available using the personal developer account, using that xcode itself create certificate, but since you are using APNS i don't think that can be used.
If they are using automatic code signing, and having you work on the project, you should request them to invite you to their team. Give them your Apple ID email address and they can add you as a team member. Then, when you build, Xcode will automatically generate a new Development certificate and provisioning profile, complete with all the app IDs, entitlements, etc. that you need.
Depending on the role they gave you, you will likely only be able codesign the app for development, not distribution. Team members can generate code signing identities for iOS Development, meaning installation and running on test devices that have their device IDs added to the development profile. Team members cannot generate or request certs or profiles for iOS Distribution (for submitting to the app store or TestFlight). Devs with the team admin role can generate or download the iOS Distribution cert and profiles. IF you are not going to be the one submitting to the store, this shouldn't be a problem.
I have several iOS App I have already published on the AppStore.
I would like to publish the code of these Apps on public GitHub repository, so anyone can get the code and play with it.
My question is, should I remove from my Xcode projects, for each App, the Identity and Signing?
How should I proceed to continue the dev of these Apps, publish on GitHub public repository and to make sure my identities and signing data are not public?
I'm struggling in getting my app ready for submission to Apple App Store...
I have valid ios development and distribution certificates and provisioning profiles.
I can successfully build my app via Xcode using development certificates and provisioning profile and works fines on test device i.e. iPhone 4s.
However, when I change the 'Code Signing Identify' setting in Xcode to use my Apple distribution certificates and set the Provisioning Profile to the production profile, the app builds successfully but when Xcode tries to run the app on the iPhone, it throws an error: 'App installation failed. A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found'.
Not sure if the above is related, when I try to build the app using ionic package CLI command; 'ionic package build ios --release --profile [PROFILE-TAG]' I get this error:
CheckCheck dependencies
Code Sign error: No code signing identities found: No valid signing identities (i.e. certificate and private key pair) were found.
For info, I have created the ionic security profile as suggested here: Security Profiles
I'm using:
OS X El Capitan
Xcode 7.2.1
Cordova 6.0.0
Ionic version: 1.2.4
Happy to provide more info if required. Thank you.
As you have mentioned in the question
However, when I change the 'Code Signing Identify' setting in Xcode to use my Apple distribution certificates and set the
Provisioning Profile to the production profile, the app builds
successfully but when Xcode tries to run the app on the iPhone, it
throws an error: 'App installation failed. A valid provisioning
profile for this executable was not found'.
You can't directly run the build with the production profile/certificate in the device, to directly run from the xcode you have to build it with the development provision profile
If you want to test your production build before submisson you can download it with the TestFlight, it will be easier and better way of checking the build as same build will go for the submisson
If you need help with testflight you can refer doc here:
Apple Doc:Beta testing with testfligjt

App which signed with an App Store provisioning profile can only be installed that downloaded from App Store, and for testing production behavior, you can generate an Ad-Hoc profile to sign your app. Ad Hoc Provisioning Profiles in Depth and How to
After install XCode 6 GM I CANNOT select the distribution provisioning profile for ad-hoc distribution.
The Xcode always uses "XC AD Hoc" profile.
I already tried by removing the profiles from the system (deleted all files in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles) and having Xcode to re-download the profiles from my Apple account but it didn't work. Reboot Xcode and system didn't help either.
Any solution to this matter?
In Xcode 6 you need to have a distribution certificate to generate an ad-hoc .ipa
So the steps you need to follow are, first create a distribution cert and then a ad hoc profile with this certificate and then the xcode will show the profile and you will be able to generate the .ipa
