Error while gathering & validating credentials: undefined

Expo SDK
21

Sorry that it took so long. When I was trying to update exp, it kept giving me errors about how I needed to run with root/Administrator to remove/mkdir. I had to globally uninstall expo for it to work. Here is the error with the newest version:

[exp] If you get errors about

then consider going to developer.apple.com and revoking those certs or
the existing provisioning profile for this app

? How would you like to upload your credentials?
 Expo handles all credentials, you can still provide overrides
? Run as enterprise account? No

We need your Apple ID/password to manage certificates and
provisioning profiles from your Apple Developer account.

Note: Expo does not keep your Apple ID or your Apple password.

Unfourtunately, same error. :disappointed: Also, tried it on a normal version Windows 10 machine and got the same error above.

@edgar Considering it did the same thing on the other machine, maybe it could be something wrong with my apps files? That’s just my guess.

@edgar Here is running the build with the new 49.2.1:

 exp build:ios

[exp] Your project looks good!
[exp] Checking if current build exists...

[exp] No currently active or previous builds for this project.
[exp] If you get errors about

'Maximum number of certificates generated' or 'duplicate profiles'

then consider using the flags --revoke-apple-dist-certs, --revoke-apple-push-certs,
and --revoke-apple-provisioning-profile or go to developer.apple.com
and revoke those credentials manually

This is with EXPO_DEBUG=true by the way.

@verseboxceo Thanks. I think I might have found a potential quoting issue on WSL.

@edgar Got my fingers crossed that that’s the issue. Thanks so much for your help. You’re the best! :smile:
