[ios] missing private key in the distribution certificate on keychain

I got into this situation ("Missing private key.") after Xcode failed to create new distribution certificate - an unknown error occurred.

Then, I struggled to obtain the private key or to generate new certificate. From the certificate manager in Xcode I got strange errors like "The passphrase you entered is wrong". But it did not even ask me for any passphrase.

What helped me was:

  1. Revoke all not-working distribution certificates at developer.apple.com
  2. Restart my Mac

After that, Xcode was able to create new distribution certificate and no private key was missing.

Lesson learned: Restart your Mac as much as your Windows ;)
