Just to make sure I'm doing this correctly.   I created a new distro cert for 
our team 2 weeks ago.  Ours was expiring.  But that is NOT what you are talking 
about, correct?  You are talking about the cert for Apple's Worldwide Developer 
Relations Certification Authority which should expire on Feb 7, 2023 at 4:48:47 
PM.  

That's in my keychain and there are no public/private key pairs associated with 
it.

I just downloaded out team's Distro cert for iOS, installed it in the keychain 
and exported it.    I made this about 2 weeks back and it expires on Jan 26, 
2017.  But, this team distro cert says that it has an invalid issuer, which is 
Apple Worldwide Developer Relations.

OK.  Here is what you must do and why if you see that.


SOLUTION

The issue is NOT simply that you must download the new Apple WWDRCA.cer.  

You MUST also select the System keychain, select Show Expired Certificates from 
the View menu and delete the expired certificate.

If you do not do that, Xcode will give you the wrong error message, telling you 
that you are "Missing iOS Distribution signing identity for your awesome 
company".


As long as there's an expired WWDRCA cert at that level in the keychain, (not 
in your login, but in the system), your installed certificates that are valid 
will appear invalid, even if you have the new WWDRCA certificate installed.

The trick is to Show Expired Certificates and then delete them.

Now, all my installed Apple certificates are valid.


Fun times. fun times.
