Certificates

Targets macOS

Some of my certificates are due to expire
One is '3rd Party Mac Developer Application’

I have generated all the certificates that I can find on the Developer site and installed same, but none have installed one of these.
There is no certificate of that name on the developer portal.
Which one is it?

I think it’s the last one. I love how the names are different.

I thought so too.
But KeyChain doesnt think so, and neither does App Wrapper. :frowning:

Yes; you now use the iOS certificate for both iOS and desktop.

Didn’t you get the memo? No, neither did I.

Me, too. “Revoke” to remove it = not visible where it should be, near the “Download” button.

Me, again. Currently, I’m in contact with Apple about this issue (Developer Account/Contact us/Membership and account" → write the message) , and they wrote about this issue:

“If a certificate expires after 5 years, you can replace it by creating a new certificate. When three certificates expire, you can create three new certificates. You can find the expiration date of your certificates in your developer account.”

Some years left at my account, we’ll see.
