Github Action: No signing certificate "iOS Development" found

Question

The related issue is here: https://github.com/yukiarrr/ios-build-action/issues/74

UPDATE: there is no "iOS Development" inside any of the code in my project. And that word only shows when I put a string rather than GitHub secret on the code-signing-identity , regardless of what string I input.

I was using ios-build-action@v1.5.0 on Github Action to automate the process of deploying my Ionic project to TestFlight. But somehow I ran into this error.

The new provisioning profile has been generated and provided as a secret, and I believe the certificate is also generated during the build process.

Is there any solution for this? What could be the possible issues?

The related commend:

      - name: Publish as internal testing
        uses: yukiarrr/ios-build-action@v1.5.0
        with:
          project-path: ./platforms/ios/myproject.xcodeproj
          p12-base64: ${{ secrets.IOS_P12_BASE64 }}
          mobileprovision-base64: ${{ secrets.IOS_PROVISION_FILE }}
          code-signing-identity: Apple Development
          team-id: ${{ secrets.IOS_TEAM_ID }}

The related log is given below, which is slightly different from that issue:

Answer 1

This issue was caused by having different app id on iOS and Android but didn't separate them in the config.xml . If you encounter the issue, you may want to check your app id to see if they are consistent on different platforms. In my case, iOS app id wasn't applied correctly causing this issue.
