iOS Question ios_distribution.cer is not recognized as store certificate

[Alexander Stolte]

Hey, I'm desperate, for half a year I compile the project now regularly with the "ios_distribution.cer" certificate to make the app available on TestFlight. Last time was the day before yesterday, since then nothing has changed, the certificate expires next year.

Now I wanted to make an update and suddenly, despite the certificate, my app is compiled normally, without it being recognized as store ipa?

I have already tried the following things without success:
-Clean project
-Download the certificate again
-Removed the app from the local builder and compiled it again
-Restart B4I new

In my projects, ios_distribution.cer is the same for development and the App Store. The difference is in the provision file:

#CertificateFile: ios_distribution.cer
    
' Development
'#ProvisionFile: MaxItDevelopment.mobileprovision
    
' App Store
#ProvisionFile: MaxItAppStore.mobileprovision

The difference is in the provision file:

So I do the same, 2 days ago this has also still functioned... I have changed nothing...

About which certificates do you talk, if

App will run on the simulator.
This is a simulator build. Do not submit it to the App Store.

Tools - Build Server . Build release app (for iPhone) and Build Simulator app are completely different.

App will run on the simulator. This is a simulator build. Do not submit it to the App Store.

The problem was that I used my appstore mobileprovision file and compiled it with the "Build Release App" and it still thought that it was not a "store provision file".

now i tried it again, nothing changed and now it seems to work again...
