Push certificate does not appear when creating a profile in the iOS dev portal

Question

I created a dev certificate for my application (following the following steps http://www.raywenderlich.com/32960/apple-push-notification-services-in-ios-6-tutorial-part-1 )

and I see a certificate that appears in the portal certificate section.

Now I am trying to create a provisioning profile that includes a certificate, however, when the portal asks which certificates to include in the profile, the one I just created is not specified.

I have checked three times that the application identifier that I used to create the certificate matches the application identifier that I use to create the profile - and if I look at the application identifier, a green dot will appear next to the section button click.

So why doesn't the certificate appear as an option when creating a profile?

Answer 1

Provisioning profile certificates separate from push notification certificates. You probably need to create a developer certificate.

Answer 2

A push certificate is only an SSL certificate for your web server or third-party service. It has nothing to do with collateral. Just make sure you have the same package ID.
