Hello fellow developers,

I've come across a bit of a challenge and would appreciate some insights. I successfully backed up my Developer ID Application certificate as a .p12 file and smoothly imported it into my login keychain. However, when attempting to import it into my iCloud keychain for an added layer of backup security, I encountered two error messages:

"One object could not be imported."

"The selected keychain could not be found."

Any thoughts or suggestions on resolving this hiccup would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your expertise!

I think that’s simply a bug in Keychain Access )-: I encourage you to file a bug report about it. Please post your bug number, just for the record.

I don’t see any good way to work around it. AFAIK none of our tools require that a Developer ID signing identity be located in the data protection keychain, so it’s fine to stick with the file-based keychain for the moment. And if you need an extra backup, back up that .p12 file itself.

Share and Enjoy
