I am experiencing an issue when publishing my .NET MAUI application for iOS using Visual Studio Code. During the publishing process, I encountered a codesign error. Hope someone can help me. This is the error:

You should check with the support resources provided by the 3rd party to get assistance with their software.

Unless another developer in the forums has experience with the third-party and can provide assistance.

Please review the following two posts from Eskimo that may provide assistance with your issue:

Eskimo specifically mentions that the error posted likely corresponds to the case discussed in “Fixing an untrusted code signing certificate”:

I recommend reading both resources thoroughly.
