In this procedure, we will generate a special .csr file. This file is required when we request a valid certificate from Apple.

  1. On a Mac, open Keychain Access.
  2. On the top Mac menu bar, click Keychain Access, and then choose Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority.
  3. Enter your email address in the User Email Address field, ensure your name is spelled correctly in the Common Name field, and leave the CA Email Address field blank.
  4. Under Request is, click Saved to Disc.
  5. Click Continue.

Ensure your signing request is successfully saved to your local machine as a .csr file before generating a certificate.
