Manage Apple Certificates via ASO.dev

In ASO.dev, we have simplified the process of working with Apple certificates for app development and publishing.
Now you can create, view, download, and delete certificates directly in the ASO.dev interface, without the need to go to the Apple Developer Portal and without using Keychain or OpenSSL.

Interface

Create a new certificate
Reload the data
Settings: App settings for customization.
Help: Navigate to the documentation.

Each certificate card has the following data:

  • : download the certificate
  • Name: The name of the certificate
  • Type: The type of certificate
  • Expire Date: The expiration date of the certificate
  • ID: The unique identifier of the certificate
  • Platform: The platform for which the certificate is intended
  • Delete the certificate

What you can do

  • Create new certificates
Learn more about all types of certificates
  • View a list of previously created certificates
  • Generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request) for creating certificates without using Keychain or OpenSSL
  • Delete certificates directly from the interface
  • Re-download active Certificates

How it works

  • You need to choose an Certificate type
  • We automatically create a CSR and send it to the App Store Connect API
  • We offer you to download it and the private key
  • When the certificate is ready, we show it in the list, and you can:
    • Re-download it as a .cer file
    • Use it in Xcode or CI/CD
  • If the certificate has already been created, you can re-download it
  • If you want to revoke the certificate, simply remove it from the list

After creation, you receive a .cer and .csr, but you will not be able to restore the private key later.
Save it immediately after generation if it is needed.

Examples of use

For developers: quickly obtain a Development/Distribution certificate without macOS For agencies: manage client certificates without switching between accounts

File Formats

.cer Installed in Keychain or used during assembly .csr Automatically generated when generating a certificate

Security

  • All operations are performed through the official Apple API
  • Certificates are only available to you
  • We do not store private keys
