Do iOS development and distribution certificates share the same user id (UID)?

Question

I know this doesn't fit perfectly to StackOverflow, since it's not a programming question, but I hope if someone can answer this that it will help users which find themselves in a similar situation.

I'm talking about the certificates for iOS apps I can generate on this website https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/certificate/certificateList.action

If I create a development certificate the UID is foo, whereas it is bar when creating a production certificate. bar is also listed as "Team ID" in my account details.

Why does it matter? Well, I can't install the app I'm working on onto my device, since the provisioning profiles also contain bar in different places.

Can an iOS dev please open both a development and a production certificate and tell me if they use the same UID? If they do, then I know I'm on the right track.

The Apple support wasn't very helpful so far,

everything looks good from our side

but if someone can confirm that something is wonky with my certificates, then I can try to explain to them.

Answer 1

yeah I just checked(account type is company/organization ) they are different.Name in dev certificate is picked from apple id and for distribution company name. Anyways this is not issue, if it would have,you must have got code signing error.
