Summary

In order to create an iOS Distribution Certificate, we need to create a “fingerprint” from our Keychain access software on our MAC. This file is called 'Certificate signing request', or 'CSR'.

Preconditions

2. In Keychain Access, go to the "Keychain Access" menu, select "Certificate Assistant," and then choose "Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority."
