When dealing with iTunes apps, the Distribution certificate and signing key (P12 file)and signing key (P12 file) and .mobileprovision (plist file) are a bit of a mystery to me. I want to know how to get information from these files programmatically from the CLI.
How do you extract info from these files?
There is a wildcard .mobileprovision file for the entire Dev center account. It contains:
Each app that has push notifications enabled has its own .mobileprovision file (it contains the push cert and the wildcard cert).
The most useful command I have found is to convert the .mobileprovision file to XML, you can then do what you wish with it:
openssl smime -inform der -verify -noverify -in my.mobileprovision
The CFPropertyList lib is a good PHP lib to interact with .mobileprovision files.
The Distribution certificate and signing key lives in a .p12 container. As the name suggests it contains:
Here are some handy commands:
To get when cert expires:
openssl pkcs12 -in my.p12 -passin pass:1234 -nodes | openssl x509 -noout -enddate
To get the private key:
openssl pkcs12 -in my.p12 -passin pass:1234 -nodes | awk '/-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----/,/-----END PRIVATE KEY-----/'
To get the cert:
openssl pkcs12 -in my.p12 -passin pass:1234 -nodes | awk '/-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----/,----END CERTIFICATE-----'
Get the sha1 of othe cert:
openssl pkcs12 -in my.p12 -passin pass:1234 -nodes | openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint | cut -d "=" -f 2
