Installed certificate does not show up in Certificate Trust Settings

Related to #47

I recently installed the latest mkcert and am unable to see the cert in "Certificate Trust Settings". I tried uninstalling, deleting the root, and regenerating, for good measure, but no dice.

I'm having the same issue. I installed a certificate and it's not showing up here.

Hi, one reason could be that the certificate doesn't have the CN (common name) section.

I think I know what's the problem here. At some point, Apple changed the UI for the cert management so after downloading the certificate you get this:

And yes, it is in Settings but not where you think. At the top of the menu now there's Profile Downloaded option:

You tap that and you should be presented with the installation dialog:

After that, it should appear in the Certificate Trust Settings:

Hope this helped :)

After generating the certificate, iOS states, "The authenticity of the profile cannot be verified," and it does not show up in Trust settings. I'm using the latest version of macOS Venture and iOS 16. Any ideas? Thanks

I had this issue. You need to install all the intermediary/root CA "profiles". That'll be something like ca.pem. When you're self-signing and acting as your own CA, this is what's important since it's the key signing the certificates.

For what it's worth, I tried downloading all the intermediary certificates and then the root certificate (and tried it the other way around too), and couldn't get the certificates verified for my use case (I was exporting the certificates on my browser using Firefox)

Send the root CA certificate to your iOS device that you created, when self-signing whatever other certificate. Then from email, install that on iOS as a "profile". Then go into it and click to trust it, turning your CA certificated into a trusted root CA.

I did do exactly what you mentioned Jacob, but the issue I’m running into is that iOS ends up saying the certificate can’t be verified, so even though I can install the certificate, I can’t give it full trust.

Anyway, I think this could potentially have something to do with iOS 18. I found this thread: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764673

It needs to be a root CA, so make sure that's the case. Then, you need to go under your settings and "trust" it. I recall dealing with the unverified bit, but it was because it wasn't being marked as "trusted".
