I am using the Development Provisioning Assistant in the iPhone Developer Portal, but when I get to the part where it asks me to generate and upload my CSR, I try to upload it and it just gives me this error:
The CSR selected is invalid. Please check the file and try again.
Does anyone know what this means or what I can do about it?? Thanks!
Also make sure you use Safari for uploading.
I tried Chrome and it always failed. Then I switched to Safari and it worked with the same CSR.
Never mind, I figured it out... in case anyone else has the same problem, I fixed it by downloading the WWDR Intermediate Certificate before generating the CSR, which I forgot to do. slaps forehead
If you are not able to upload the CSR using launching assistant, try going to "Provisioning Portal -> Certificates". Upload your file there and click "submit" button at the bottom. I had my certificate this way.
I had the same problem, and what fixed it for me was to repair my login keychain. Go to 'Keychain First Aid' in Keychain Access and you can verify/repair your config.
Second on the Chrome vs. Safari conflict and solution.
The instructions on the iOS Provisioning Portal -> Certificates -> "How-To" tab are exactly correct, but I have a repeatable failure on upload in Chrome, and instant success on Safari.
Versions:
OS: OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 64-bit
Chrome: 8.0.552.237
Safari: 5.0.3 (6533.19.4)
If you do not have the following menu item: "Keychain Access->Certificate Assistant->Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority", then you need a new WWDR Intermediate Certificate. My menu item was originally similar, but had some extra text in the title. Downloading and installing a new certificate changed the menu item and allowed generation of a valid CSR. This was odd because my previous WWDR Intermediate Certificate appeared in my keychain as an unexpired certificate.
I logged a bug at bugreport.apple.com asking for a clearer error message and pointing back to this SO discussion. Edit: fyi.. apparently developer portal bugs should be logged by sending email to devprograms@apple.com instead of the "product" targeted bugreport website. I encourage folks that have wasted time on this issue to provide helpful feedback regarding the issue via email.
Did right the opposite: used Firefox instead of Safari and the button worked.
I had a similar problem. When creating a CSR for enabling push notifications, I first had to deselect the current selected key in Keychain Access before selecting Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority. That solved my problem
Make sure you have only "Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority" and not something like "Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority with key "
If under Keychain Access you only have the option for "Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority with key" it will not work. This indicates you have not downloaded the "WWDR intermediate certificate". You can get it from the "Certificates" tab in the iPhone Provisioning Portal. Once its installed (double click it to install), the menu item will change to "Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority" and it should work.
