How to register an author certificate in the Tizen SDK

Dear Developers,

Creating an author certificate is required when you submit your apps to Tizen Store.

Please follow the guideline below.

Registering Author Certificate

If you want to create packages or launch applications, you must register an author certificate in the Tizen IDE.

To register an author certificate:

  1. In the Tizen IDE, go to Window > Preferences > Tizen SDK > Security Profiles.
  2. To add a signed profile, click Add in the Profiles panel.
  3. Click Generate in the Author Certificate panel to generate an author certificate, if you do not have one.
  4. In the Author Certificate panel, click Edit to set the author certificate path and password.

To change distributor certificates, select a table item and then click Edit in the Distributor Certificate panel.

The first distributor certificate is required and the default information is filled automatically when a profile is created. The second distributor certificate is optional and is used only for special purposes. In general, you are not required to modify distributor certificates.

Hi,

I have one qeustion

is there any expiration date about Distributor Certi ??

when i checked to my IDE window->preferences -> Tizen SDk -> security profiles

there is Distributor cert automatically ..

You havent to edit the distributor certificate in anyway... the author certificate is more important because without the same author certificate you can not update your application in the store anymore. The distributor certificate can u change as often u want (maybe through sdk update).

Can I take the author certificate generated on one machine (say my desktop computer) and then use it on another machine (say my laptop), provided I use the same .p12 file and password?

I'm wondering how it interacts with the developer certificate; I figure I should be able to pick up my project and work on either machine.

Hi,

I think that you can copy all files from like following folder to another machine and reuse it.

 C:\tizen_sdk_2.4Rev1-data\keystore

Thanks Daniel!
