Shorebird release ios-alpha fails

Question

I tried running shorebird release ios-alpha --flavor staging to build by iOS application but I'm seeing the following error.

✗ Failed to build IPA (309.3s)
    The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to log in with account '[email protected]'.
    No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found
    No profiles for 'com.work.ios.staging' were found

Here are the Shorebird docs for reference.

Answer 1

It turns out my xCode session had expired. To fix it, I had to:

1. Open xCode
2. Navigate to Settings -> Accounts
3. Select the email I was using ([email protected])
4. Sign in again

After this the shorebird command worked as expected.
