How do I replace an Apple Developer ID Certificate that indicates it is not trusted?
When I look at my Certificate Expiring 02-20-2025, I see a valid status displayed. (See annotation #1.)
However, when I look at my Apple Developer ID Certificate renewal, I see the words not trusted. (See annotation #2.)
I downloaded the renewal certificate and double double-clicked the downloaded item to place it in my KeyChain. This certificate period is from 01-21-2025 to 01-22-2030.
QUESTIONS
- Why does the renewal certificate say "certificate is not trusted"? (Its period is 01-21-2025 to 01-22-2030. Today is 01-27-2025.)
- How did the renewal certificate get damaged?
- What must I do to get the damaged certificate replaced with a valid one?
I suspect that the new certificate relies on a new intermediate and that’s not present on your Mac. I talk about this in detail in Fixing an untrusted code signing certificate.
ps If you’re working with Developer ID signing identities, I recommend that you read through The Care and Feeding of Developer ID.
