First build of ios development app

1

So I just setup the Apple dev account and took an existing working project (Android) and attempted an ios build with Voltbuilder. I used the guide provided at:
https://wiki.appstudio.dev/Submitting_to_the_iOS_App_Store

Everything looks fine however when I submit to Voltbuilder I get the following error:

UserError: Error opening .p12 file: Could not deserialize PK

Is there a common or popular cause for this type of error?
I generated the development cert using the voltbuilder cert generator, ran it thru Apple.
1, Then I put in the resulting cert file and profile files into the certificates folder.
2. I also pointed the app at the certificate and profile file in the settings.
3. I did not specify anything for the iosDistP12 values since this is just a test app.
4. I verified the cert password was correct.
5. ‘release’ type is set to ‘debug’

Is there something obvious I’m missing?

Thanks again,

I think I figured it out, I just missed a step there.
There is another step after the Cert is generated by Apple where Voltbuilder utility converts it to a p12 format located further down on the Voltbuilder Cert generator page.

What a convoluted mess, I mean that’s not AppBuilder’s fault. I blame Apple, you’d think there would be a better way- living in the future as we are :slight_smile: … and its not like Apple can’t afford the extra developement resources.

Something that might have made it a little more obvious would have been the file picker (Common dialog) used to pick the p12 file. It defaults to “All Files” as the default filter. Limiting it to “p12” file extension by default would have helped a little I think.

That’s an interesting suggestion. We’ll see if it is possible to filter the filenames on the file picker.

Your suggestion has been implemented - VoltSigner now uses a filter in its file picker.

Thank you!
