I switched computers. I copied all my keychains to the new computer. I have published apps to the appstore from the new computer and they work fine. I tried to create a development app on the new computer and GS is saying there is a signing error. I have done all the normal steps in my development portal (created app id, created development profile, downloaded profile and loaded it into Xcode). Am I missing something?

And since there is no tutorial for creating an Ad Hoc version...storta stuck! hahaha
If my development profile is in the list and I have published using distribution profiles from this computer, what could I be doing wrong.
Why would I be able to create apps for distribution and not development?
If you recall, you had to generate a key by requesting a certificate from your computer, then upload it to Apple. Then, they would send you back a certificate. That original request file you made was based on your computer, so when you switched computers and copied over the keychain, the old certificate won't work since it's on the new computer.
The encryption in the certificate prevents anyone or anything from using your identity by tying it to you AS WELL AS your computer.
What you need to do is one of two things: either 1. export the certificate from the old computer and import it into the new computer, or 2. generate a new request and send it to Apple, and Apple will create a new certificate for you. Option 1 is the best because it's technically the original certificate, and therefore the same digital signature. Option 2 is only when you don't have the original machine anymore, but be aware that you'll have a new digital signature on anything new you develop.
Hope that helps.
