@CA – No, you don't have to pay for the p12 key.
Hi, I tried several times to get an .p12 private key as described on http://www.appmakr.com/publishing_accounts/add/. But I don't find this option. And as soon as I click on the second option link, the message
»Access denied - You do not have access to the page you requested. Return to the iOS Dev Center»
appears. Do I have to pay for this .p12 private key?

I followed the instruction on how to create and upload certificate and this message appeared
"We are unable to upload this Certificate file because it is invalid. Please check the file and try again."
Please help... :'(
Hey Musleh,
You made it didn't you.
Apple has you made it when you generate it.

When I try to go to the iPhone Provisioning Portal
it says unauthorized access please help =/
G'day, I am using an Apple University Developer program account, so when I go to iOS Provisioning Portal --> Certificates, I only have 3 tabs: Development, History, HowTo, but not Distribution. I can create Development certificates, but not Distribution certificates. So can I still create apps with AppMakr?
Hello,
Do I need a new developer key/account for each app I create with you? I've tried another app using the same developer account and it won't let me do it.
Actually, I'm trying to write a review about your service, but I'm having a heck of a time - would you please help me finish the app so I can finish the review? My email shows the domain I'm writing it for - it would be greatly appreciated!

the answer shouldn't be along the lines of: just use our auto-method.
There's an import feature that appears to be broken (I've launched a bug report for it). If it's broken, it ought to be fixed.

Hello Tim,
Have you tried option 2, the p12 will be created for you in this process. I myself have had many hair pulling moments with this, as a lot of our customers used to, so this is why we created option 2. Most of our customers find much more success with this option. This forum post will walk you through the entire process from beginning to end of creating an app to submitting to Apple, and it's broken up into steps, so you can watch only the ones you need to. Let me know how this works out for you.
Thank You!
Doesn't work for me
AppMakr doesn't accept my p12 password, and yes, it's correct (I'm not stupid)
thanks worked great! the app is now in the apple store! SUCCESS
This was a GREAT help. I tried Option 2 yesterday and could never get a little Key to link with my Certificate. Now let's see if I can download and test my App. I appreciate the time it took you to make this tutorial.
Hello Robbie,
Please use option 2 when adding your ADL into Appmakr, it will create the P12 for you.
