Creating an unsigned iOS certificate set

Updated on April 27, 2022

Create an unsigned iOS certificate set to generate a mobile app bundle as an unsigned xcarchive file. You generate an unsigned bundle to sign it locally with Xcode on a macOS computer when your company policies do not allow you to upload mobile certificates and provisioning profiles to third-party tools.

Before you begin: Obtain the components to use in the unsigned iOS certificate set:
  1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click SettingsMobile certificates.
  2. On the Mobile certificates page, click Add certificate set.
  3. On the Adding new certificate set page, expand the Advanced section, and then select the Enable a simplified certificate set (unsigned application) checkbox.
  4. In the App ID (Bundle ID) field, enter a unique bundle identifier for the iOS app.
  5. Optional: To enable push notifications for your app, on the Adding new certificate set page, choose a push notification certificate to use in the certificate set:
    ChoicesActions
    Use an existing push notification certificateIn the Push notification certificate list, select an already uploaded certificate.
    Upload a new push notification certificate
    1. Next to the Push notification certificate list, click New.
    2. In the Upload new certificate file modal dialog box, click Choose file, and then upload the .p12 file with the push notification certificate.
    3. In the Certificate name field, enter a name for the signing certificate.
      The name must not include underscore ( _ ), hyphen ( - ), or period ( . ) characters.
    4. In the Encryption password field, enter the encryption password for the certificate.
    5. Click OK.
  6. Click Save.
Result: You now have a complete, unsigned certificate set that you can use to generate an unsigned xcarchive file, and then sign it locally.
What to do next: Build your app as an unsigned xcarchive bundle and sign your app locally with Xcode on a macOS computer. For more information, seeBuilding mobile apps and Signing iOS apps locally.
