Distribution failed: Certificate invalid for "store-033.blobstore.apple.com"

I am currently not able anymore to upload my iOS App Archive to the AppStore via Xcode.

  • App validation succeeded.
  • Last update 2 week ago was without any issues.

Now I get following error message hundreds of times while trying to upload the ipa:

The following issues occurred while distributing your application:

Part #[different numbers] failed to upload. The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "store-033.blobstore.apple.com"...

The keychain says:

  • Apple Development certificate valid until 03/2023
  • Apple Distribution certificate valid until 03/2023
  • Developer ID Certification Authority valid until 02/2027
  • Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority valid until 2/2023

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for letting us know about this issue, can you give your Mac a restart and let us know if you still are seeing the issue after that?

If you still see this issue after a fresh restart, would you mind filing an Feedback Assistant at https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/ and sharing that number with us? Any logs and data you can attach would also be great for further looking into this.

We started seeing this same issue today as well. Our build process hasn't changed and we just started receiving the error about the invalid certificate.

I filled out a bug report with more information: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/11891001

Our nightly build succeeded as well as subsequent builds, so it appears the certificate has been updated.
