[Xcode] Problem code signing with Distribution certificate


Question

I have an Apple ID with my name (Sean *******). I had my friend Jason ***** pay for my iOS Developer Program using his credit card. In the Provisioning Portal, under Certificates, the Distribution certificate name is Jason *****. I have tried revoking and submitting a CSR Request with my name and email, but the Certificate still says his name.

When I try to Code Sign an app that I want to submit to the Ap Store, it says "iPhone Distribution (does not match any valid identity/profile pairs)". Is this because the Distribution Certificate has a different name than my Apple ID? I am able to code sign with a Development certificate which has my name (Sean *******) on it. Can this be changed to my name? Or will I need to re-register for the iOS Developer Program (using a credit card with my name on it)?

as long as you get his private key / certificate you can do anything. revoking the development and distribution certificates and renewing them yourself will give you the private key. You will need to recreate your provisioning profile when you do this to pick up the new certs.

If I remote into the computer he used, would the public/private key pair be stores in his certificate store? Perhaps I could export them and then import it into my keys?

I'm not 100% sure how I fixed it... But it seems to be fixed! Xcode let me upload my app to the App Store for review. :D
