reached the maximum number of available Distribution certificates

Question

I was trying to do fastlane match development and that blocked me with the following error message:

Could not create another Distribution certificate, reached the maximum number of available Distribution certificates.

I have only one, so I'm not so sure what's going on here.

Answer 1

The resolution for me turned out to be that I did not have any Devices in the developer portal anymore.

(Apple walked me through resetting the list for some reason.)

Once I added my iPhone UDID I could do nuke and match development cleanly.
