Version

iOS 18.3.1

Start going into detail..

No really a bug or a feature request 😄 I just went through the install process for the first time, and being relatively new to sideloading/jailbreak stuff, I encountered a couple of hiccups while following the wiki. From my quick search, it doesn't seem possible to open PRs for Wikis so I'm opening this issue.

In the Using an Apple Developer Account instructions page:

  1. Step 1 of the Obtaining the .p12 section:
- 1. Open up keychain access on your macOS device
- * Find Certificate Assistant
- * Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority
+ 1. Open up Keychain Access on your macOS device and select **Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority** in the menu bar.

"Find Certificate Assistant" is a bit vague so it took me some time to check the menu bar 🤦‍♂️

  1. Step 4 of the Obtaining the .p12 section:

When importing the .cer file into Keychain Access via drag-and-drop, the user would typically be in the first selected tab All Items. Well for some reason, exporting the certificate as a .p12 file is disabled while on this tab. I had to go to the My Certificates tab first to have the .p12 option enabled.

Export in All items tab Export in My Certificates tab

Not sure if this is a known quirk that's just obvious to more experienced users. Regardless, I think a simple change like this would do the trick:

- 4. You will now be able to select the certificate and export as a .p12 file. (This step will have you make a password, remember this for the end)
+ 4. Go to the "My Certificates" tab, select your certificate and export it as a `.p12` file. (This step will have you make a password, remember this for the end)
  1. Step 1 of the Installation section:
- 1. Go to [sign.kravasign.com](https://sign.kravasign.com/)
+ 1. Go to [sign.kravasign.com](https://sign.kravasign.com/) on your iOS device

This I agree might be my lack of experience showing 😅 Since every steps until now was on my Mac, I just continued on... without anything happening. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to understand I had to do this step on my iPhone/iPad.

I think that's about it!

While I'm here, I had one question I was curious about: if I make a change to my Provisioning Profile (for example, adding/remove a device or selecting another certificate), does the .mobileprovision file changes? In another words, can I keep using the one I downloaded before making the changes, or do I need to download the new one and update it inside Feather's settings? (do I also need to reinstall Feather through KravaSigner? I don't believe so if I'm understanding things correctly)
