无法在 Xcode 中创建分发应用程序

Question

I'm trying to upload my app into App Store through Xcode, I read a few sites and set the code signing to "iOS Distribution" but when I tried to Archive, an error appear "No provisioning profiles with a valid signing identity (ie certificate and private key pair) were found."

I've created a new distribution Provisioning Profile in developer.apple.com and link it to my app and selected the distribution certificate to it. I then downloaded this profile and manage to select it in the provisioning profile section in xCode->build settings->code signing. But now I noticed that I can't select any Signing Identity with it saying "No Identities from profile "profileName"". And trying to Archive will just popout the same error as paragraph above.

If I choose "Fix Issue" when the error popup, it resets the Signing Identity to "iOS Developer" and the profile to "Automatic". The archive process runs but when I tried to validate or export an error popup; "Your account already has a valid iOS distribution certificate".

I read somewhere that this is maybe due to multiple certificates in Keychain, but I'm not sure which one to delete:

as you can see, I have a number of certs and some seems to have the same name. The 1st, 2nd, and 4th, is the name of my company (with the same id), while the 3rd and 5th, is my name (with the same id).

Now here's a weirder thing I noticed; in Certificates section of Keychain, I have 2 of the same thing (exactly same name) but their expiry date is different with the one without the key have the same expiry date as the one in the Apple Developer page.

Any idea what's going on (and how to possibly fix it)? Can it be someone (we do have other developer for other projects) actually removes the distribution certificate that I have and created another one (causing the whole thing to not sync)? If that's the case do I need to ask him to export it and send it to me? Thank you.

Answer 1

Case 1:

If you can use the computer that generated the certificate.

Xcode -> preferences -> Choose account -> viewDetails -> choose certificate (Distribution) -> Click setting button and export it

Copy to your computer Do same step but import this time.

Case 2:

IF you don't have the computer that generated the certificate.

You have to revoke the certificate and create a new one. (you have to be admin)

Xcode -> preferences -> Choose account -> viewDetails -> choose certificate (Distribution) -> Click setting button and Revoke it. And Request new by clicking + button beside the setting. And use it.

OR

You can revoke it form https://developer.apple.com and regenerate.
