ExportArchive No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found

[yonycherkos]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1. Use the same development certificates that are employed locally for signing the app. These certificates function correctly when building locally with Xcode.

2. Attempt to generate an IPA file on CodeMagic using these certificates and provisioning profiles.

3. Observe that, despite successful local builds, the IPA generation fails on CodeMagic with an error related to signing (e.g., ios_signing).

4. To troubleshoot, create a separate CodeMagic distribution certificate and provisioning profile specifically for this build.

5. Configure the CodeMagic workflow to use the newly created distribution certificate and provisioning profile.

6. Retry the build process; the issue persists, indicating that the problem is not resolved by switching certificates or profiles.

Additional Notes:

• The current configuration includes:

  • Provisioning profile: App - Dev Provisioning
  • Certificate: development_certificate

• Alternative configurations tested (commented out):

  • Provisioning profile: Codemagic - Dev Profile (App Store profile)
  • Certificate: codemagic-dev-certificate (Production type)

Expected results

Build IPA file successfully

Actual results

Encountered error while creating the IPA:

error: exportArchive No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found
error: exportArchive "Runner.app" requires a provisioning profile with the HealthKit and Push Notifications features.

Hello @yonycherkos, can you please provide your build id?

[Becca-Saka]

Your build id suggests that the code signing was successful, and you were able to build your IPA successfully file, the only thing failing is your custom automated testing script, is this perhaps a wrong build id or you have been able to resolve this?

[yonycherkos]

No, this is a correct build id. It failed to build the IPA file with the following error. However, the codemagic build continue with the excision of the other command and failed on the QA automation also. please check closely

[Becca-Saka]

Please add --export-options-plist=/Users/builder/export_options.plist to the build command as shown here. Let me know if it helps.

I'll be closing our thread for now.

Happy Building!
