Apple certificate for developer

Question

I am newbie in iOS app development. I have developed a iOS app. I would like to send my build file to someone. But I am not sure where can I find my build file.

I heard that I have to have one Apple certificate in order to build, what is that Apple Certificate ? How & where can I get it? (I have already signed in in Apple Developer space)

I have already signedup with ios developer account, you should have access to ios Provisionng protal. (https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/overview/index.action)

If you are not able to see this, You are not member fo developer portal yet. To get access of this section, You need to complete the registration process.
Please make sure you have paid the fees (generally US $99 for the enrolment) Create Apple Developer Account http://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/

iOS Dev Center http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action

After registration, You will get access to all detail including how to create certificate and provision profiles. https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/certificates/team/howto.action

Thanks!

You need that certificate to install profile in your mac. Profile is needed to make an adhoc build of your project to be sent to someone. You need to sign your code with that profile.

If you have signed up with apple developer program that requires $100 a year, you can generate certificate and profiles from there
