I have an app that I have given for submission that was rejected due to some privacy issue. I have corrected the problem and am trying to submit it from a new mac. I have two provision profiles which I made earlier. 'P release' and 'P ad-hoc'. As the name implies 'p release' was for app store and 'p ad-hoc' was for testflight insider testing.
Both were working perfectly on the earlier machine. When I had to move, I exported the developer profile from the mac machine by going to xcode-preferences-accounts. Also i made a back up of code.
Now on the new machine, I used the backup and imported the developer profile. Now I made some changes and wanted to try on the testflight, therefore i selected 'p ad-hoc' as provisioning profile in build setting in project target and started the archive process. There was a prompt to use private key from local keychain, I selected 'allow'. Next when i clicked on 'upload to app store' the provisioning profile change to 'p release'.
If i delete 'p-release' from the machine then while uploading to app store it says no matching profile found.
I tried deleting the old provisioning profile from apple developer center and created new provisioning profiles but the same problem. Then i also tried to request a certificate from keychain and uploaded it to in the apple developer center and generated new certificates for push. But then i started receiving that the error 'no codesigning identity found'
So now I think i will simply redo the whole process by deleting all certificates from apple developer center.
So can anyone tell me what could have gone wrong?
Also another very important question that arises from the above : Lets say my application goes live, and i have obtained a .p12 certificate and used it for push notifications. Now if in future I redo the whole process, and lets say I delete every certificate (apn production, apn development and ios distribution, ios development) and then generate new p12 certificates. And then I discard the old p12 and use this new p12 certificate, will the push notifications work in old installations of my applications that were submitted using the older certificates?
