You have to create new distribution certificates and provisioning profile

Go to developer portal, Revoke your current distribution certificate (whose p12/private key lost) It won't affect existing live app, Now wait a few seconds and refresh the page and you should see a button "Request Certificate". You'll have to follow the Certificate Signing Request instructions again and upload the .csr file. Create new certificate & download it and install in your Keychain Access app on your Mac. Export the .p12 from Keychain. Your Private key is ready.

Now, delete the existing distribution provisioning profile with old certs, You'll have to create a new provisioning profile for the App, using the new certificate.

Uplaod the new p12 and distribution provisioning profile to phonegap console. Create IPA and Submit to iTunesConnect. It worked for me, It will work for sure.

You can't. If you lost your private key (part of the p12) you will need to create a profile certificate.
