How to create the necessary certificates for iOS development?

Question

I registered for the Apple Developer Program, and now I can log in to the portal. I am very new to developing applications for the iPhone, however, I have read several tutorials and blogs.

My question is how can I generate a certificate for my iPod Touch 4.3 viOS device. I could not easily find the links, so I came here to learn the steps from someone experienced and someone who has already completed a similar task.

In addition, I installed iphone sdk on my machine. I tried to create a Hello World example. But when I do Build and Go, it gives some error regarding sdk ... as if sdk was not found.

Can someone help me easily follow the steps / links for creating certificates and hopefully how to set up the iOS development environment on my Mac.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a pretty good tutorial on deploying applications on your iPhone. http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/deploying-iphone-apps-real-devices It shows you how to create certificates, etc. With pictures and everyone.

As for your SDK error, go to Project> Edit Project Settings and in the Architecture section, change the Base SDK to one of the listed versions.

Good luck with your development!
