Error : The associated package identity has expired

Question

I'm trying to validate an archive, before submitting it to the app store, but I keep getting the following error :

"MY NAME" is a valid identity. However, the associated package identity "MY NAME" has expired.

There is an option to "Refresh Code Signing Identity", but nothing seems to happen.

What could be going wrong? Any ideas?

Hint : It's not my first time uploading an archive to the app store; I've already done that like 100 times. The thing is I'm using a different development machine and think that probably this is the one to blame. But I'm still confused...

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Deleting the expired developer certificates via "Keychain Access" did the trick for me.

Answer 2

From Keychain Access, View, Show Expired Certificates and delete all of them.

Answer 3

I had this exact error message, and it turns out that I needed to download and install both the Mac App certificate as well as the Mac Installer certificate, but I had only downloaded the Mac App one.
