Several questions:
1) Are your Certificate Signing request (.csr), WWDR intermediate certificate, and developer/distribution provisioning profiles tied to a specific machine, a specific version of Xcode, or just to a particular Apple ID?
2) What technical difficulties prevent all this stuff from working across all my devices whose OSes support iCloud? (i.e. Why can't all these certificates, signatures, profiles, etc... reside in the "cloud", and automatically sync themselves across all devices entered (when one logs into the specific developer portal on developer.apple.com, and add them) once it's verified that payment has been made ($99/yr.)? It seems like all this fiddly bullsh*t should be exactly what automation should handle - i.e. leave it to the computer(s) to check/update their signatures, certificates, and profiles, rather than involve us flawed humans... :)
3) How do I clear out all the 'cruft' out of my keychain relating to all these certificates, so I can be sure that I start with a fresh slate? (i.e. which items are safe to delete?)
