A. Creating an Ad Hoc Build
The Ad Hoc distribution method for iPhone apps allows for distribution of the build to internal or
external sources. PayPal provides the Device ID values for PayPal‟s devices. In the process
below, you add PayPal‟s devices to your Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile. You then compile the
build, sign it with your Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile, and deliver the zipped build and the Ad Hoc
Provisioning Profile to PayPal.
Creating a Distribution Certificate
Distribution Certificates are paired with private keys linked to computers. A Distribution
Certificate is one component of the Distribution Provisioning Profile that you use to sign the
build in Xcode.
Creating and Approving a Certificate Signing Request
To request an iPhone Development Certificate, generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
utilizing the Keychain Access application in Mac OS X Leopard. When you create a CSR,
Keychain Access generates your public and private key pair to establish your iPhone Developer
identity. Your private key is stored in the login Keychain by default, and you can view it in the
Keychain Access application under the „Keys‟ category.
1. In your Applications folder, open the Utilities folder and launch Keychain Access.
2. In the Preferences menu, set Online Certificate Status Protocol (OSCP) and Certificate
Revocation List (CRL) to “Off”.
3. Choose Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate from a Certificate
Authority.
NOTE: If you highlight a non-compliant private key in the Keychain during this process, the
Program Portal cannot accept the resulting Certificate Request. Make sure that you are
select “Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority...,” not “Request a
Certificate From a Certificate Authority with <Private Key>…”.
