# Create Certificates

To release app in your Developer Account, and to make push notifications work, Trainero needs some certificates.

### App Signing Certificate

Go to: [https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list](https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list) This is a centralized place where you can manage Apple app signing certificates. 

Click ”**Create a Certificate**”, or click the blue plus button, if you already have some certificates available.

Upload the file ”**Trainero.certSigningRequest**” that is provided by Trainero.

After this step, the certificate is created. Click “**Download**”, save it to your computer, and send it to the Trainero’s contact person.

**NOTE!** If your browser auto-translates texts, disable that and keep the language in original English. Otherwise, the download button will not work.

**IMPORTANT!** This certificate will **expire in 12 months,** so you need to **create a new one every year.** Without a valid certificate, Trainero cannot release new updates. Trainero will notify you 1 month prior to the deadline.

### Push Key Certificate

Go to [https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/authkeys/list](https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/authkeys/list) 

Click ”**Create a key**” or click the blue plus button, if you already have some keys available.

**NOTE!** Push key certificate **does not expire,** so you only need to create it once.
