Clarification and help with the certificate.

I am a complete novice and I find that I cannot restore or delete the “Apple Development” certificate (I only use it for signing). From what I understand, you need to be in a program to manage certificates, but I have no intention of distributing any applications and, from my point of view, it makes no sense to pay.

Am I wrong or am I doing something wrong?

Notes:

  • This happened after I installed Tahoe on a new installation.
  • I was able to restore it using a copy of the keychains folder I had from Sequoia.
  • Xcode (Apple Accounts - Manage Certificates) now shows me two certificates, indicating that one is not in the keychain and cannot be deleted.

So, just to be clear, you’re not a paid member of the Apple Developer Program, right? You’re just using your Apple Account to run your own apps on your own devices. In Xcode this shows up as a Personal Team.

Exactly! And as far as I understand, you can't manage certificates without being a paying member.
