Matt Netkow: Now a Pluralsight Author!

I’m excited to announce that I have been accepted into Pluralsight’s Authorship program!  

Pluralsight provides expert online video training for developers, IT admins, and creative professionals.  I’ve used them for years now at work to get up to speed quickly on new technologies/concepts successfully.

I’ve been working on hybrid mobile apps for almost 3 years now and have learned so much!  I love teaching/mentoring others, so Pluralsight seems like a natural next step.  I will be primarily focused on mobile app courses, specifically hybrid mobile apps (HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript).  My first course will be PhoneGap Build Fundamentals, in which I do a deep dive of Adobe’s PhoneGap Build service.  Like most developers that participate, I will be creating courses on nights/weekends whilst I work my day job with SAVO.

PhoneGap Build: "Certificate doesn't match profile" fix found

After a couple of months without building my apps on PhoneGap Build, I came back to the site only to see build errors.  Very strange, as all of my certificates and keys were valid.  On the PhoneGap community forums, others had the same issue.

TLDR; Re-export your developer certificate (.p12 file) from Keychain Access on your Mac in addition to creating a new Provisioning Profile from developer.apple.com.

The PhoneGap Build documentation for “Certificate doesn’t match profile” states that you should try regenerating the provisioning file.  However, I found that exporting a new copy of my developer certificate from the Keychain app did the trick!
