Cannot build on iOS - Credentials seem to be in a mess

Expo Development Tools
1

Hi everyone. I’m running into problems building for the iOS app store.

I think expo has some old credentials saved but I can’t remove them. If I use expo credentials:manager -p ios I can verify that nothing is setup, but when I run expo build:ios (or expo build:ios -c ) I don’t get asked if I’d like expo to handle all the creations, it just tells me that it failed to prepare the credentials:

(base) Toms-MBP-3 tom$ expo build:ios

The next time you build, we will automatically use the following configuration:

I’ve tried allowing the build to continue as well but it just fails.
How can I convince Expo to just burn everything and start over? Thanks :slight_smile:

Possibly related: I have removed the app in appstoreconnect, but I can’t remove the identifier in Sign In - Apple it errors saying it’s in use in the App Store (which it isn’t)

Also possibly related, I have two experiences with the same name, but different bundle IDs:

tom$ expo credentials:manager -p ios

This turned out to be a badly set EXPO_IOS_DIST_P12_PASSWORD in my environment variables

Hi, I’m having the same issue. How did you end up resolving it?
Thanks, Ozge
