How to Create the iOS Certificates in Windows?

[IanW-GC8]

I would imagine that you will need access to a Mac for each version of the App that vB release, as it will need to be recompiled for your site each time.

Sure?

Sure?

Yes, you will need to resign and recompile your app with every update.

Yes, you will need to resign and recompile your app with every update.

Does it need to be the same Mac every time? Meaning, if someone borrows a friends Mac, and then doesn't have access to it in the future, is that a problem?

[SteveLV702]

yes cause the Certificate is installed on that computer.... so unless you export that certificate and save it to a disk and then import it on another Mac..........

[tintin74]

very bad

Understood.thank you.
I think every vbulletin advanced forum owner will buy an apple computer in the future... It's a great business for Mr.Jobs

See the last section of the Certificate article to see how to backup and move your certificate.

Okay, I am now thinking of buying a Mac.

So, is it easy to develop your Mobile Apps? Does it cost money to get an Apple Developer Account?

Once I've got a Mac and paid my $99 are there any other gotcha's that I should be aware of?

[SteveLV702]

Easy to Develop/Compile Mobile App = Yes

Does it cost money to get an Apple Developer Account = Yes $99/yr

However, I was unaware you NEED a mac to dev an app..

Yeah, it stinks but this is Apple's requirement last I checked.

[SteveLV702]

Man as many people who want the Mobile Suite but dont have a Mac or Apple Developer account maybe I should do it for them and charge like a $10 fee

[worried]

That sounds fair. My new mac mini should be arriving tomorrow.

[biancolaw]

There are ways to sign certs on Windows but it's quite convoluted and I'm sure it would most likely cause issues with Apple and their app store.

This really is upsetting. I guess I missed the other $99 dollar fee for the apple web developer account. $107 with tax. And the fact that I cant use any apple computer but the same one every time something needs an update. This really is discouraging. I rather pay more for a complete package that does it all and can be managed anywhere. There should be a service offered that takes care of everything.

you can use multiple Mac's just gotta export and import your Certificate on the computers..........
