Hello everyone
Just dropped in to ask, when building for android, Defold requires certificates and permissions. What are they exactly, and how are they generated?
Before uploading your application to Google Play or the Appstore you need to digitally sign your application. This is standard procedure for almost any software delivery platform and its there to add security and verification that the application is from the developer and no-one else.
Android signing process: https://www.defold.com/manuals/android/#_android_and_google_play_signing_process
Apple: https://www.defold.com/manuals/ios/#_apple’s_code_signing_process
Permissions (Android)/entitlements (iOS) are needed when your application needs access to certain hardware and software systems (camera, address book, position etc). You specify permissions in the manifest file on Android and in the info.plist on iOS.

ok, got it. I was thinking that certificates were creqted externally, and just changed to .pem in openssl. And, as it always turns out in the last, it was easier than i thought.
