Authentication with Apple Developer Portal failed! Apple Service Error -1018 while expo build:ios

Question

I have developed a mobile application using Expo react native. Up until a month ago, I could build and upload to Google Play and App Store with no problems. Now I can still build for Android normally and without any problems. However, I can't build for iOS because I always get the Logging error Authentication with Apple Developer Portal failed! Apple Service Error -1018.

expo build:ios

I've searched for this problem for about a month, without any result. Can someone help out me in this matter? Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Updating the eas-cli version (12.6.1) to version 12.5.2 fixed the problem for me. Just run the command:

npm install -g eas-cli or npm install eas-cli

and it is supposed to work

Answer 2

Just update your eas:

npm i -g eas-cli

Answer 3

Well in my case I just deleted the previous build that I've done in expo. And build it again

Answer 4

Me and my colleague had the same issue and spent a few hours troubleshooting this issue.

Turns out the error message does not provide any useful information. We reverted expo-cli version back to ^3 and tried to build the ios application. It failed, but it provided a whole different error message than what we had earlier (the one you are displaying here).

It provided as such in the error message: "Please manually log into your Apple Developer account to review and accept the updated agreement".

You basically have to as an Account Holder go to Apple and agree to the new "Program License Agreement".
