It does not list the Certificate created earlier in the Developer Portal. So I go and check and the com.lrs.SkinDeepTattooGallery as type "APNs Development" is still there as a valid certificate BUT it does not show up as a choice in the Provisioning Profile. So I can not build an app in Livecode because it will be invalid.

Take care to verify that you have authorized your test devices to receive both the normal iOS dev profile (Xcode does this for you). and the Push one in the Apple Provisioning Portal (select the Push dev profile and edit it to get the next window appears and let you select the devices you want the Push dev profile to be installed on). That done, go back to Xcode and click on the refresh button of the Provisioning Profiles tab to get the need Push provisioning profile installed on the previously selected (on the Apple dev portal side) test devices.

Best,

Pierre
