'reached the maximum number of available Distribution certificates

I was trying to do fastlane match development and that blocked me with the following error message:

Could not create another Distribution certificate, reached the maximum number of available Distribution certificates.

I have only one, so I'm not so sure what's going on here.



Solution 1:[1]

The resolution for me turned out to be that I did not have any Devices in the developer portal anymore.

(Apple walked me through resetting the list for some reason.)

Once I added my iPhone UDID I could do nuke and match development cleanly.

Solution 2:[2]

login in https://developer.apple.com/ and remove one of your Distribution certificates

Solution 3:[3]

Also worth noting that you get this error when you use the same name for the certificates. fastlane match was using certificate name of under "Team iOS", once I revoked this certificate from developer portal, I was able to run match again without any error.

Solution 4:[4]

Check if you are able to create any certificates on Apple Developer account in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. If not - follow instructions / perform actions there.

So one of the options is to remove development certificate and re-generate a new one.
