Configure a second computer to distribute iOS applications

Question

I followed the recommendations and fine-tuned my desktop for Ad-Hoc distribution (the requested certificate from CA, created the main certificate with my name, created the initialization associated with devices, etc.).

Now I have my laptop, and I need to configure it with the same account (not creating a team development account, but an administrative one). I did not recreate the certificate from CA, because I already have a valid certificate online (the one that is associated with the provision), and I downloaded and installed it in my key chain. But if I open Xcode and look for valid security, it says that "the profile does not match any valid pair with the certificate / private key in the default key." Do I need to renew my own certificate every time I switch from a workstation to one in my office?

Answer 1

When you create a CA, it uses the private key on your system. You need to copy this to your laptop for Xcode to use CA.

I myself do it myself, so I'm not sure if this works, but it looks like it should be.
