Xamarin iOS Issue : iOS Code Signing Key 'iOS Distribution : ABCD Pte. Ltd' not found in KeyChain"

Myint Kyaw 1

Hi,

I am doing the In-House Distribution for my Xamarin iOS project.

I connected from my Window VS to MacBook to build and publish .ipa file.

In MacBook, Certificates and Provision Profiles are already installed.

When I build my Application i got this error "iOS Code Signing Key 'iOS Distribution : ABCD Pte. Ltd' not found in KeyChain".

Does anybody have this issue lately and how it is resolved?

Appreciate your helps. Thanks ,

Did you have a valid certificate with corresponding private key installed on the Mac like:

If you want to manually create a certificate and provisioning profile, try to follow this documentation:

Hi @JessieZhang-MSFT ,

Yes, I have valid certificates on the Mac.

I created simple Xcode Project with Objective C a in order to test certificate problem.

Then I tried to publish .ipa file from simple project with those certificates on the Mac itself. There was no error in Build and Archive on Mac's simple project.

This is pretty sure that Xamarin only is having this issue.

We recommend that you build and archieve on MAC itself. For this issue, you can create a new issue here: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues .

Hi Jessie Zhang,

Now i tried to build the Xamarin Project in VS on MAC instead of using VS Window connecting to OS.

Then, .ipa file is published. Anyhow i can build without any issue now in VS on MAC.

Thanks.
