Certificate

TestFlight publishing requires Distribution Certificate. If you already published once, Xcode will automatically generate private/public keys, request a certificate, put it in member center and install it. If a second developer needs to publish an app to TestFlight, he will need the keys to make this work. You can verify this by opening Xcode Preferences->Accounts->Free->View Details and you will see 'Reset' at the 'iOS Distribution' certificate instead of blank space.

Here is how to transfer keys:

1. On the First computer open 'Keychain Access'
2. Go to Keys
3. Find the distribution PUBLIC key, right click export with name public_key
4. Find the distribution PRIVATE key, right click export with name private_key
5. Transfer to desktop on 2nd developer
6. Open terminal and type security import ~/Desktop/public_key.pem -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
7. Double click private key to add to keychain.
