It doesn't really matter why it happened. You might have gone onto the Member Center and revoked it. Your membership might have expired. Lots of things could have happened to cause it.

In any case, you cannot "restore" it; it is revoked (there is no such thing as "unrevoke"). Simply generate a new distribution certificate.

  • The thing is that my Distribution Certificate in Keychain Access still shows as valid. What should i do now? – user4099795 May 10 '15 at 16:04
  • I don't understand why the Xcode one is revoked but the Keychain Access one still shows as valid? If i create a new one, will it mess up the old one? – user4099795 May 10 '15 at 16:15

    We're just going around in circles. If I say the same thing again it will be the third time. I don't see the point of that. I'm sorry you don't find my answer useful. Feel free not to make a new one. (Personally, I would quit Xcode and delete the old one, both in the keychain and at the Member Center, before making the new one.) – matt May 10 '15 at 16:18
  • Ok, i'll try to make a new one – user4099795 May 10 '15 at 16:21
