What certificate to sign Mac App Store app for submission

At some point I had to renew my Mac App Store certificates, so I've done so, and now that I'm attempting to build for submission to the app store, I'm getting: "No certificate for team 'My Name' matching '3rd Party Mac Developer Application: My Name (MY_ID)' found".

But where to get a 3rd Party Mac Developer Application certificate? Under Xcode's "Manage Certificates", there is no "3rd Party Mac Developer Application" under the "+" button.

There are only:

  • Apple Development
  • Apple Distribution
  • Mac Installer Distribution
  • Developer ID Application
  • Developer ID Installer

(all of which I have).

These days there’s no distinction between iOS and macOS when it comes to App Store submission. You can use Apple Distribution: <Team Info> for both.
