Unable to distribute to the App Store, failed to cloud sign

Just switched from a M1 MacBook Air back to an Intel Mac mini 2018 (not sure if it matters) and in the first try to distribute an app to the App Store I got a new error.

The error states: The cloud signing service returned an invalid signature for

It is failing when signing bundled universal binaries that where already signed before and are already in the App Store, no modification to that binaries.

Replacing them with flat versions (Intel or Apple Silicon ones) works properly and the distribution process completes, but obviously the universal ones are needed.

The error asks to fill a bug report but being familiar to bug reporting I know I can get some feedback tomorrow, in two years or never.

Anyone else found this one? Any idea what can fix this or the best way to get in touch with Apple for a prompt fix?

Turns out it was a missing certificate (and private key) for signing the binaries, result of migrating from one Mac to another. Odd the distribution assistant did not warn about that.
