It’s been a while since I’ve published an app and I’ve had my iOS app publishing fail twice. I think I must have the wrong combination of certificate and provisioning profile. I want to be able to use the app in TestFlight. I did follow the step-by-step directions in Thunkable but unfortunately, they don’t specify the types I need. Any suggestions? ![image.png](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=b2123a3841&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-a:r-5408084159775540354&th=18545aa051ee2e68&view=fimg&fur=ip&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ-yCBwFcl3JL6z233pdCdqN9VqKuPkF075ZQ7NzOEMwGyo9vVDADSmGEwNi0ZTB5x-AFKtbGMZR7GCR9Vs9r3yrTOCabgdYVCj9TZG1U5WnqZ4CmdOxx83RaM0&disp=emb&realattid=ii_lc2clfti0) ![image.png](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=b2123a3841&attid=0.2&permmsgid=msg-a:r-5408084159775540354&th=18545aa051ee2e68&view=fimg&fur=ip&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ-nmrXrPFW-DVtBOzoWEeqc92a-cXNhWAQbTTJl8YjGas3P14A5bnpqOF2CZP5jmnUpizzALxwHzxRQaWvk8drG6W_oTo62jKen8cCfyzU0PPc_vfRpF8sOI6E&disp=emb&realattid=ii_lc2cnc0k1) ---

The process of creating the certificate and provisioning profile for TestFlight is the same as is to [publishing your app](https://docs.thunkable.com/publish-to-app-store-ios) described in our docs. ---

The documentation doesn’t go into detail. For example, when faced with the choice of _what type_ of profile, it just shows this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/1/f1d58782ab5e116b56f303c134dcfa6d111739ef.png) ---

I tried Ad Hoc. Now I’m going to try App Store. [Apple’s documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/distributing-your-app-for-beta-testing-and-releases) says to use “App Store Connect” but that’s not an option. **Edit:** that did not work either. ---

@tatiang It says to select App Store. ![Στιγμιότυπο οθόνης (1501)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/9/39db6e5294d7d14995166d2141529c2613746d3c.png) I understand your frustration on this, the best you can do is to delete all of the certificates and provisioning profiles and create them again. ---

Oh wow. I had no idea those tabs were live! I thought they were just screenshots. The fact that I can click on “Step 1”, “Step 2” etc. means there’s a ton of info I missed. Thank you, I’ll go back and read through that. ---

After carefully following the step-by-step directions (with tabs!), I was able to upload it to App Store Connect. I did get the “Missing Push Notification Entitlement” email from Apple but it seems to have still gone through. ---
