The public key is attached to your CSR.While creating CSR, the public/private key pair is generated under the hood.Let's see what had happened under the hood when we created CSR. Now that we have our CSR on our local machine. We will cover certificates later in this article.
This is the file which we need to upload to the Apple Developer portal while generating certificates for development and distribution. $ openssl req -new -key mykey.key -out CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest -subj CN=Your Name Dev Key, C=GB"Īt the end of this process, you should see the file with the weird name CertificateSigningRequest. Just fill in your name, email address, and country. You can get your CSR by running a couple of quick commands. There is a way to create a CSR from the command line if you want to avoid the hassle of going through GUI.
Click Continue and the Certificate Assistant creates a CSR and saves the file to your computer. Basically, follow all the instructions on the screen. Fill in your details like email, name, and country. Choose Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority. From Spotlight, search Keychain Access. The CSR can be generated using Keychain Access and Apple has some documentation here, but in summary, here is what you have to do: The requests have to be created from a local macOS machine. The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is the process of requesting the certificate from the Certificate Authority (CA), which is Apple, so that Apple can verify the details of who is requesting an issue of the developer certificate if the details are correct. The CSR contains the certificate request information, signature algorithm, and a digital signature of the requester to prevent requesting a bogus certificate. The typical information required in the CSR includes CN (Common Name), Organization, Organization Unit, Country, and email address. The applicant keeps the private key secret. The applicant then attaches the public key with CSR along with details like email, country, etc. The process of creating a CSR is very standard in the PKI the applicant has to generate the public and private key in the local machine. This uses Public Key Infrastructure, policies to create, manage, and distribute the digital certificate. The certificate signing request, a.k.a CSR, is a message sent from an applicant to the certificate authority in order to apply for the digital identity certificate. In this post, we will cover the concept of the certificate signing request (CSR) and the process of requesting the certificate using CSR. The process of creating the certificate starts with Certificate Signing Requests. Creating an iOS development certificate is the first step that every iOS developer needs to perform in order to start with iOS development. As you might know, we need development and distribution certificates to build and deploy an app to the App Store. Let's start with the Certificate Signing Request, where all the code signing darkness starts. Now we will get started with code signing concepts. 
In the previous post, we covered the basics of code signing, its benefits, and limitations.
