Hi Everyone, I'm just about ready to build my first iOS App to submit to the app store. My question is on the Distribution Certificate and the Push Certificate. The whole certificate thing is kinda tricky and a bit confusing to me. Q: Do I need to sign with both certificates in Xcode? If so, could someone point me in the right direction on how / where in Xcode to do this? I do understand I'll need to update my Push certificate on my Push provider from Dev to Distribution (I'm using Parse) to make that part work. I have gotten far enough to test on my device via Xcode and I've even been able to figure out create an Ad Hoc distribution. I'd hate a mistake at this point to mess up an app approval. Thanks! William

Thanks@Arubaman! I'll dig in. And thanks @GoNorthWest for the doc!

for distribution certificate Go to the https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action Click on the iOS Dev Center link and in Provisioning Portal link.Here you can create your distribution Certificate and download your ios_distribution.cer. Download also the AppleWWDRCA.cer and Open both files in Keychain Access

Thanks @guisante. Everyone: Just so I'm clear in what I'm doing... - I do have my Distribution & Development certificates in my keychain. - When I'm ready to build to send to Apple, I sign with the Distribution certificate. - I don't have to sign the app with a specific Push certificate somewhere. - I do have to provide the Push service (in this case Parse) with an app specific Distribution Push certificate. I know where this goes in Parse. Sound about right? I hope to get it off to Apple for review this weekend!

Okay everyone, here's an update... My first app has been successfully submitted and is "Waiting for Review!" Thank's to everyone who helped get me to this milestone!
