I'm trying to build a distributable version of my MacOS app using productbuild. The process used to work for me, but I transferred my files to a different computer, and now I can't complete the process.

I give the command

productbuild --component MyApp.app /Applications --sign "Developer ID Installer" InstallMyApp.pkg

and I get the error

Cannot write product to "InstallMyApp.pkg". (Could not find appropriate signing identity for “Developer ID Installer”.)

My keychain app clearly shows a certificate labeled Developer ID Installer: Gerald Agin (7HT9GPV6X3) with an expiration date 15 months in the future.

What am I missing?

That worked. I requested a new key and it succeeded. – Jerry Agin Dec 21 '21 at 21:05
I'd like to award the Bounty to Raymond A. The stack overflow documentation says I should click the bounty award icon, but I'm not finding one. Do you need to post an answer as opposed to a comment? – Jerry Agin Dec 21 '21 at 21:16
It would have required me to post it as an answer ;) . Great if it helped! – Raymond A Dec 26 '21 at 20:22
