I have recently been added as an apple developer in an organization by our main developer.

On my mac, within keychain access, I have two certificates, one under my name and one under the company name. Both are not trusted. I am not sure what steps I need to perform to get those certificates to be trusted.

I suspect that maybe my account does not have the privileges required regarding generating trusted certificates despite me being a developer in the organization.

I get the error mentioned in the title when trying to deploy my app on a real device for testing which I am convinced is tied to the fact that my certificates on my target machine are not trusted.

All the solutions that I have read online have failed me and its quite impossible for me to proceed forward at this point without any assistance.

The most common cause of this is a missing intermediate. See Fixing an untrusted code signing certificate.

Sorry for the abysmally late response. I was on vacation and have now returned. I downloaded all the intermediate certificates via the link that was provided.

Right now I am struggling with basics on how to even import them. Common wisdom states that dragging the .cer files into keychain access should do the trick. This is not the case as they don't show up after I have done so.
