[SOLVED] No signing certificate “iOS Development” found - building app release with bitrise/Fastlane match

No signing certificate “iOS Development” found - building app release with bitrise/Fastlane match

I’ve inherited a React Native project in my work that builds and deploys app releases to the app store using bitrise and manages all the certificates and code signing using Fastlane match.

I’ve suddenly started getting the following issue on the step that runs this command - xcodebuild "-exportArchive" "-archivePath" ...

I'm not too sure why this is erroring as everything was working completely fine before. Could anyone suggest how I can debug this or what the issue may be related to here? Any advice would be great, i'm quite new to all of this

Solution

I figured out the issue to this in the end.

Turns out there was an update with a breaking change to the Bitrise step, you can read here - https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-xcode-archive/releases/tag/4.0.0 This is the one that was breaking it for me

Removed auto-detect option of the distribution_method input. This option has been marked as deprecated for a while. The new default value is development, make sure you select the desired distribution method
