PEM - Maintain your push certificates

Tired of manually creating and maintaining your push notification profiles for your iOS apps? Tired of generating a pem file for your server?

PEM does all that for, just by running pem.

To automate iOS Provisioning profiles you can use sigh.

PEM is part of fastlane: connect all deployment tools into one streamlined workflow.

Features

Well, it's actually just one: Generate the pem file for your server.

Check out this gif:

Installation

sudo gem install pem

Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:

xcode-select --install

Usage

pem

Yes, that's the whole command!

This does the following:

• Create a new signing request
• Create a new push certification
• Downloads the certificate
• Generates a new .pem file in the current working directory, which you can upload to your server

PEM will never revoke your existing certificates.

You can pass parameters like this:

pem -a com.krausefx.app -u username

If you want to generate a development certificate instead:

pem --development

Environment Variables

In case you prefer environment variables:

• PEM_USERNAME
• PEM_APP_IDENTIFIER
• PEM_TEAM_ID
• PEM_SAVE_PRIVATEKEY - Set to "1" to save the private RSA key

How does it work?

There are 2 actions involved:

• Accessing the iOS Dev Center to download the latest aps_production.cer. See: developer_center.rb.
• Generating all the necessary profiles and files to prepare the finished .pem file. See: cert_manager.rb.
• The .certSigningRequest file will be generated in signing_request.rb

How is my password stored?

PEM uses the password manager from fastlane. Take a look the CredentialsManager README for more information.
