JIT Certificate for iPhone: Development + Distribution
You asked for Development signing. CertDrop now offers a $14 device-matched JIT + Distribution package with two certificate pairs, LiveContainer ready-to-use signing, and a private IPA Library.
One-time payment · Device-specific registration · 30-day warranty covers one replacement · JIT delivery estimate shown at checkout
What makes JIT + Distribution different?
The $8 Standard certificate is designed for everyday Distribution signing with automatic delivery. Our newly launched $14 JIT option adds a Development certificate alongside Distribution, with more control over IPA signing.
Distribution signing
Use the separate Distribution pair whenever you prefer standard device signing. You can switch per app without changing certificates on your account.
LiveContainer ready to use
Choose LiveContainer with Development signing. CertDrop uses your own provisioned App ID and includes your certificate so there is no manual certificate import step.
Custom bundle IDs
For other IPA Library apps, keep the original bundle ID or supply a custom ID for that signing request. LiveContainer Development always uses the profile-matched App ID.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Development certificate automatically enable JIT on iOS?
No. A Development signing certificate can be used with tools such as LiveContainer, but runtime JIT activation may require a separate compatible JIT enabler and device-specific setup.
What do I receive with the $14 JIT certificate?
Both Development and Distribution P12 and provisioning-profile pairs, the certificate password, a private download and installation page, and signing options in the CertDrop IPA Library.
Can I switch between Development and Distribution signing?
Yes. JIT customers can choose either certificate for each IPA Library signing request. Development is selected by default.
How quickly will a JIT certificate arrive?
JIT certificates are registered manually after confirmed payment. The checkout displays a delivery estimate based on Europe/Brussels hours. Estimates are not guarantees.
What happens if Apple revokes my certificate?
For new purchases, the 30-day warranty allows one free replacement per original order when Apple revokes the certificate within 30 days of purchase. A second revocation is not covered, and the period does not restart.
