Certificate limit reached

iOS / Xcode · last reviewed 2026-11-10

The error looks like this

You have reached the maximum number of generated certificates for this team.

Why it happens

Each team can only have a few distribution certificates; old machines/CI keep creating new ones.

How to fix it

developer.apple.com > Certificates: revoke unused ones (existing App Store builds keep working).
Share one certificate across machines (export .p12, or fastlane match).

Not sure this is your error? Let ReleaseMedic read the whole log

$ npx releasemedic log build.log

Or pipe a build straight in: cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease 2>&1 | npx releasemedic log -

Catch it before you build

Most release errors come from project settings you can check in seconds — signing, SDK levels, privacy manifests, permissions, push and login setup.
