Unable to sign using cloud managed Developer ID certificate

I want to sign a macApp using the Cloud managed Developer ID certificate. With the help of this forum discussion and the official documentation, I have tried to sign it using the following steps.

  1. Make sure "Access to Cloud Managed Developer ID Certificate" is enabled
  2. Remove all Developer ID certificates from the keychain.
  3. In Xcode, click Products > Archive.
  4. Click "Distribute App > Developer ID > Export" (selecting "Upload" will give the same result)
  5. Select "Automatically manage signing"
  6. The following text will appear and the signing process will stop.
  • "The following errors occurred while locating and generating signing assets. Xcode is unable to resolve these issues automatically."
    • Communication with Apple failed.
      • You are not allowed to perform this operation.
    • No signing certificate "Developer ID Application" found.

Why do I get these errors?

Restarting PC, xcode, or re-signing in to the Apple Developer account in Xcode settings did not contribute to resolving this issue. And our Account Holder is suffering from the same error.

  • Xcode:14.3
  • macOS:13.2.1
  • PC:MacBookPro M1 2020
  • My Role: Admin

Best regards.
