Create Certificates

Overview

The instructions on this page are required to build your app intially. This action ties information in your Match-Secrets private repository to your Apple information so that the build action works. Once successful that, it only needs to be run again in a few cases.

  • When your certificates have expired (after one year) and you need to Renew Certificates
  • When the developers have modified the Identifiers; this requires Create Certificates to be run after you successfully run Add Identifiers and update the new Identifiers
