This is the best post I have found about how to create your p12 on a windows pc with OpenSSL. http://www.emanueleferonato.com/2011/09/22/creation-of-an-iphone-app-with-flash-and-without-a-mac-fo...

I've used the process numerous times with success.

After I did the 3 step it ask me

Enter Export Password

What password should I have to give

tks from razi

[Colin Holgate]

You make up your own password. It need not be that complicated a password too, it's only used either in the settings in Flash Pro, or in the command line if you package your apps that way. There you would enter the same password you used when making the P12.

[Razi_Barkai]

tks a lot

another question please

I create an apk file for an special Iphone

and I want that the Iphone user will download the application (without use

an up store)

how can he does it

best regard razi

[Colin Holgate]

APK is for Android, so I guess you mean an IPA?

If you're using a Mac take a look at this application (it's called BetaBuilder):

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/betabuilder-for-ios-apps/id415348946?mt=12

With that app you can take an IPA file and post it online somewhere, and send the link to the iOS users that are listed in the provisioning file that you used. The recipients can then touch on the link and the app will install straight into their device.

[Razi_Barkai]

tks for the quick answer

I work with windows

I just explore and find the Installous software

what do you think

tks again

razi

[Colin Holgate]

There is an online service, testflightapp.com, that does the same thing as BetaBuilder, only it has additional management tools. You could use that service and upload the IPA file to them, and again your users would be able to install straight onto their devices. It's slightly more complicated, because your users would also have to install a special profile from TestFlight.

When you finally have an app to submit to the App Store you are going to need a Mac to run the Application Loader program, so maybe you should find a friend who has a Mac to help with that.

[Razi_Barkai]

tks again

I will try this software

I am developing with flash builder and flash so I need no mac to download

to app store

I developed for android and now I upgrade all the software to iPhone

please advice me how log it take from the order to the end

and how difficulties the apple staff makes

tks from razi

[Colin Holgate]

You can be approved as an iPhone developer in under a day. When you finally come to upload an app to the iTunes App Store it typically takes 8 days from when you submit the app until it is available in the store.

[Razi_Barkai]

tks

I am an apple developer for 7 days

and after I can check my software by download its to several QA staff I

will upload its to app stor

I have received from a client a .p12 certificate without password.

Air packager in flash professional CS6 doesn't let me export without entering something in the password field.

[Colin Holgate]

When your client made the P12 file they had to enter a password. Ask them what they used, and that's what Flash wants.

[9999pippoflash]

Yeah it was a password free certificate.

I had them to make another one with a password.

Big client, takes days for every little step on their side...

New certificate, works now, submited to app store... fingers crossed

thanks for the reply

[Colin Holgate]

Well, did you try entering no password, but telling Flash to remember that no password?

[9999pippoflash]

No matter what, remember or not remember, flash didn't allow me to publish but always popped up "please insert password" or something similar.

I didn't even know it was possible to generate password free certificates.

Anyway, now we know that from within CS6 you can't package ipa's with password free certificates.

[notHim]

expiriencing some kind of "unable to find certificate" error when trying to get the pem file

[notHim]

Error opening Certificate developer_identity.cer

4128:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:398:fopen<'developer_identity.cer'.'rb'>

4128:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CNTRL:system lib:.\crypto\bio\bss_file.c:400:unable to load certificate

this one....any clues?

[Colin Holgate]

Could be worth following iBrent's video on making a P12, there may be a step you missed:
