When developing uniapp for cloud packaging, packaging IOS applications requires IDP/IEP certificates and certificate profile files.
Whether you use a Windows computer or a Mac computer, generating an iOS certificate requires an Apple developer account. If you don't have an Apple developer account yet, you can refer to the following to open an Apple developer account in the Apple Developer Center:

Since most people develop using Windows, let’s talk about how to create IDP/IEP certificates and profile files on Windows computers:
Step 1: In the Apple Developer Center, enter the console, click the certificates menu, and click the blue plus sign to start creating a certificate in cer format, as shown below:
Step 2: When creating, select the ios distribution ad hoc and app store type. Whether it is real-machine testing or listing, select this type. Do not select the apple type and dev type. Because ad hoc means real device testing, and the app store means putting it on the shelves. During the process, it will also ask us to upload a csr file, as shown below:
So where does this csr file come from?
Step 3: According to the method on Apple’s official website, this CSR file needs to be created using a Mac computer using the keychain access function. If we do not have a Mac computer, we can use Banana Cloud Editor to create it. The address of Banana Cloud Editor:

Step 4: Go back to the Apple Developer Center, upload the csr file just now, you can generate the cer certificate, and download the certificate.
Step 5: Return to the Banana Cloud Editor console and upload this cer file to generate a p12 certificate:
Through the above steps, the p12 private key certificate has been generated. This p12 private key certificate is the IDP/IEP certificate.
Next, we will describe how to generate a certificate profile file.
Enter the Apple Developer Center, click Identiflers, and check whether the appId with the same package name has been created. If it has not been created, create it first. Note that the appId must be consistent with the package name we filled in the development tool.
点击profiles菜单，再点击蓝色加号，开始创建profile文件
创建的过程中，假如是上架，则选择app store类型，假如是真机测试，则选择ad hoc类型，创建过程中它会要求我们选择刚才创建的appId和cer证书，假如你有多个cer证书或appId,可千万别选错哦。
假如你创建的过程中，选择的是ad hoc真机测试类型，它还会要求我们填写测试设备（iphone）的udid，假如你不知道udid怎么获取，你可以使用香蕉云编右上角获取udid的功能，发链接到测试手机去获取udid.
到这里，已经说完创建证书和证书profile文件的所有步骤了。
