- Click on the “Browse” button again to upload the .p12 file. This p12 certificate should correspond to the IPA file you wish to upload. Note also that you must have the right to use that certificate.
- Enter the correct .p12 password.
- Finally, click on “Browse” one more time to find and upload the corresponding mobileprovision file.
- Click on the blue “Sign it now” button. Wait for the upload to finish.
