What does the "Reset" button in Xcode7 > Preferences > Accounts > Apple ID > Signing Identities do?
Everything other than "Mac Development" has a "Reset" button. Does anyone know what this button does? These are my distribution certificates so I'm a bit leery about experimenting with them.
It looks like this is just a bug in Xcode7. The documentation says that the "Reset" button means the certificate is invalid and needs to be regenerated. The certificates are fine because I created and used them very recently. However, I created them recently because the old ones had expired. So, I went ahead and clicked the reset button for the ones I wasn't using. That seems to have fixed them. They were revoked and re-generated. Now Xcode7 is happy with them. Plus, Xcode7 can now export them so that I can use them on Xcode6.
The moral of the story? If you want to do anything with Apple beta software, you need a full "burner" ecosystem. Machines, devices, Apple IDs, even paid Developer accounts. Otherwise, your apps are hosed for good. Case in point. I learned this lesson last year with Xcode6. It created duplicate developer IDs which can't be revoked. Now, Xcode7 also wants to reset my developer IDs. But does it want to reset the ones I was using or the duplicates that Xcode6 created? No way to tell. No worries now because this old account is now my "burner" account. I won't have to sell any apps from it in the future so I don't even have to worry about yet another futile attempt to change my address with Apple.
Seeing the same issue
I see the "reset" button, but when I click it, nothing seems to happen. When I open the preferences back up and view the Apple IDs details, the reset button is back.
Thoughts?
Having the same issue,
and it make the app(base on Xamarin.iOS and build by Xamarin studio) could not installed on real device.
When I click this button, it switches to Safari and takes me to the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" page on member center; it does not seem to actually reset the cert. Since I can neither revoke nor "reset" the certificate in the Member Center, I am stuck.
Any news on this?
(XC 7.1.1)
Did anyone solve this?
We are also seeing this issue, anyone have a resolution yet?
I have the same issue, and can't fix it... did anyone fix this??
I'm stuck on the reset after having waited for 30min during create in XCode7 (Accounts->View Details).
I'm trying the same thing and it is actually quite unbelievable that I cant "test" develop an ios app on my expensive macbook pro (and phone) in order to just test a concept. No possibility to get a certificate on the website nor via XCode7. I do understand that selling an app is something different and I'm happy to pay if I get this far. I wasted 2 hours - so it would be better not to provide this "free" possibility at all if it doesnt work and save us the hassle.
If anybody worked it out I would be gratefull for some hints how to get it working...
I'm having the same issue. Does anyone have a resolution?
I am having the same issue... andy resolution would be greatly appreciated! Hit reset and get sent to Apple Developer...
Is there any answer for this old question?
Same question.
XCode 7.
Reset seems to work for Mac App Distribution and Mac Installer Distribution ; but for Mac Development, no way.
When developing on XCode 7, I can set signing to None.
But that's no more possible on XCode 8, I'm just unable to compile and text the App on XCode8.
Does anyone know what I should do to get the needed certicicates on several machines ?
Claude31,
Using the gear widget in the Xcode accounts pain, you can export and import your certificates, profiles and keys. Export from one machine, import to another.
