I am about to deliver an application on the App Store with an "Ad Hoc" provisioning profile (generated from a valid certificate in the apple developer center). I have to specify that the xcode project file was generated by "phonegap". Never the less I archived the application from Product/archive) and moved to the following steps consisting in validating the application.
xcode fails and suggest to download identities : I did proceed but xcode failed pretending "No identities are available for signing". "An administrator must request identities before they can be downloaded"
At this step I have the choice
+ download identities
+ import developer profile (which I don't know what it is - probably some certificate from an other machine in case i d like to used it)
First choice failed miserably as before and second is a dead end.
Any idea's what I should be doing ?
Normally I wouldn't give a link-only answer, but it is necessary in this case. You can't use an Ad hoc profile to deliver to the app store. You need a distribution profile.
Please follow Apple's steps to achieve this: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/SubmittingYourApp/SubmittingYourApp.html
