I was experiencing the same problem. While trying to debug I manually downloaded the Distribution Certificate from the Credentials section on the EAS dashboard. When adding it to my macOS keychain (password is provided in .md file in the download) it shows the Certificate is untrusted.

Following this thread I was missing this newer “Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority” certificate. After adding this Apple certificate the distribution certificate is also trusted. Furthermore deleting the distribution certificate again and then running a --local iOS build successfully downloads the distribution certificate and gets added to the keychain.

I’m not sure, why this certificate is missing, as Apple states it should have been updated with XCode.

I was running in to this issue and fixed it by opening xcode and logging in to my apple developer account inside xcode. Hope that helps.

Steps:

Download the certificate file https://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/AppleWWDRCAG3.cer
Install it with:

security add-trusted-cert -d -r unspecified -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db ~/Downloads/AppleWWDRCAG3.cer

(I found the command in StackOverflow.)

It seems stupid but can you try restarting your Mac and running local build again?

Are you getting this error repeatedly? When running eas build --local do you see any popup asking to unblock the keychain?

when i tried to running eas build --local, it still gives the same error and there is no popup appear.

@iamemiliano This issue is only about using --local regarding an iOS build on macOS. Therefore your problem on windows is totally different.

Same issue happened again with latest Xcode 14.2 and this certificate solved it
