Error while uploading archive to iTunes Connect

Question

'Your account already has a valid iOS distribution certificate'. I get this error every time I try to upload my archive. I don't have two dev accounts, nor did I use another mac before. Please help

Answer 1

Your account already has a valid certificate

This dialog appears if the certificate already exists in Member Center.

Typically, this happens when you move from one Mac to another. If possible, export your certificates as a developer profile file on the other Mac, and then import them on your new Mac.

Have a look into Troubleshooting section of App Distribution Guide. It is described there how to solve this error.

Answer 2

This is a problem that appears after the updating to xCode 6. Just rename your provisioning profile in the developer portal, and then refresh the account info in xCode. Voila :-)

Answer 3

I faced this error after Updating Xcode 6, to fix it

• Revoke the IOS Distribution Certificate (from Member Centre ==> Certificates ==> Production).
• Open Xcode project and re-login again to your account.
• in the Account screen, click "View Details"
• in the bottom left click the refresh button.

This will re-create the certificate automatically. and everything will work again.

Answer 4

In my case, the solution was to request a new dist cert, install it in my key chain, and also recreate the dist prov profile. Apparently, the cert I had in my keychain was old and was revoked and downloading the new cert from the dev center was not enough as it does not include private keys.
