I had this issue on a jenkins slave. What solved it was importing the WWDR certificate to “login” keychain in addition to the “System” keychain

Additional info, which might help to someone, as I spent a good deal of time chasing this issue. The problems described in this issue #5259 and in issue #6993 are not identical, although both can be solved by manually reordering the keychain search list from GUI, as described in #6993. However, if keychain is recreated before each CI build and deleted afterwards, manual reordering of the search list is not suitable approach.

This issue #5259 is indicated by following line in fastlane output:

security: SecKeychainItemImport: UNIX[Invalid argument]

while the issue #6993 is indicated by a different line in fastlane output:

security: SecKeychainItemImport: The specified keychain could not be found.

In my case, this issue #5259 was caused by setting keychain search list to an empty string via command:

security list-keychains -d user -s ""

It results in following keychain search list:

security list-keychains
    "/Users/administrator/Library/Keychains"
    "/Library/Keychains/System.keychain"

"/Users/administrator/Library/Keychains" is a directory, what match fails to handle. The directory remains on first position of the list even when an another new keychain is added. The issue can be solved from command line by setting the list to an explicit string, e.g.:

security list-keychains -s "/Users/admin/iphone-app/ci.keychain-db"

This issue happens only on Macos 10.12 Sierra, not on Macos 10.11 El Capitan.

I am having the " Could not install WWDR certificate" issue as we… I have read all of the comments I can possibly comprehend and haven’t gotten anywhere. I am not a professional developer so if somebody could explain this in a friendly way to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Nope Xcode worked fine. But it seems to work now after finally fixing the keychain.

@geoHeil Can you check you check your system and login keychains and let me know if this cert appears in both places? Thanks for working with me on this. Hope you have a great day! Also are you running into issues exporting from Xcode as well? Thanks!

[17:12:54]: Could not install WWDR certificate

Does it work when you manually code sign using Xcode? Have you followed our Code Signing Guide?
