iOS Distribution certificate missing from Visual studio 2019 Xamarin Apple Accounts, it is in apple developer account, provisioning profile imported

I was following the guide on how to release the Xamarin app to Apple Store I have made a Certificate for iOS distribution and profile

enter image description here

enter image description here

Then followed the steps from Microsoft on how to integrate this with Visual Studio

I have added my Apple account successfully to Visual Studio 2019 enter image description here

It does show the provisioning profile, but not the certificates like it is displayed in the guide. enter image description here

worse yet if I try to manually download the certificate and Import Certificate, the downloaded certificate has extension .cer while import is restricted to .p12

enter image description here

I have a feeling that I have missed a step or something?

Solution

  • Just download the certificate and corresponding provisioning profile from dev site ,and install them into mac, after that it should be listed in the menu .
