Can you use the same P12 on all the different apps you make, or do you have to create a new P12 for every app?

Thank you for your replies...

This is not as straight forward as i though. Or perhaps im thicker than i thought.

Im wanting to produce in flash CS6. Air for android. When i create a p12 it says it is valid for 25 years... Is this not so?

It depends on the app id. If it is:

g2d4gd23g5.*

where g2d4gd23g5 is your team number, then yes, that would work on all apps. If it's:

g2d4gd23g5.com.yourcompany.*

that would work for all apps that 'your company' will make.

But, to ship the app you will need to make a P12 that is the full id of the app you're going to ship.

The .p12 represents the signing certificate for your account. This is only generated once and is valid for a year. You use the .p12 combined with the mobile provisioning profile to sign your apps. The provisioning profile will reference the app id, and that would be unique to each app.

So you don't need to produce multiple .p12 files. It is recommended to use a unique provisioning profile for each app you produce. Colin is describing the app id and provisioning profile process.

Indeed, and if it hadn't been nothing to do with the question, it would have been useful!
