How do I transfer my iOS developer profile to another computer?
I got a new MBP and would like to transfer my certificates and profiles from my old computer. According to TN 2250, under "Transferring Your Identities," I need to transfer three sets of items:
- all iPhone Developer certificates in your keychain
- all iPhone Distribution certificates in your keychain
- all Provisioning Profiles in the Xcode Organizer > Devices tab > Provisioning Profiles section under "Library"
TN 2250 suggests I click a link entitled "Transfer Your Developer Profile to Another Computer" to find out how to do said transfer, but that link effectively gives a 404 and refreshes to a page called "About Xcode"
How do I transfer my developer profile to another computer?
My old machine is running OS X 10.6.8 and Xcode 4.2 (4C199).
The new machine is running OS X 10.7.4 and Xcode 4.3.3 (4E3002).
Import/Export works differently in Xcode 5+. This Apple Developer guide shows you how to do it.
Your account is shown under Xcode → Preferences → Accounts, and can be exported by clicking the gear icon (
) in the lower-left.
You can do this from within Xcode.
From the Organiser, on the devices tab, you can export your developer profile to a file which you can then import into Xcode on another computer.
The step by step process is explained in http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/080-Manage_Your_Devices/manage_devices.html near the bottom in the section entitled Transfer Your Developer Profile to Another Computer
Note that if you don't have a Teams section in your Organizer - Devices, you can just drag and drop the password-protected Developer profiles export-file, onto the Xcode icon in the toolbar.
