invalid curve name after brew upgrade? about fastlane

[ming-chu]

I got the similar error

/Users/me/.gem/gems/fastlane-2.211.0/spaceship/lib/spaceship/connect_api/token.rb:71:in `initialize': \e[31m[!] invalid curve name\e[0m (OpenSSL::PKey::ECError)

In my case, I feed the key using the env variable which has the error:
APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY=-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----\nbalalllaalal\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

And it works after adding the double quote:
APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----\nbalalllaalal\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"

Hope this help or is a clue to fix the issue.

I got similar error.
Make sure the APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY has the trailing \n.
In my case, we store the key in a Password Manager and clicking copy on the field doesn't copy some \n.

This is the ruby code that throw this error. For those who faced this issue, you can try this in your irb until you figure out what is wrong with your key.

OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new(key)

You can use is_key_content_base64 from fastlane. app_store_connect_api_key which does not show the same error as the non-base64 version.

app_store_connect_api_key(
  key_id: "D83848D23",
  issuer_id: "227b0bbf-ada8-458c-9d62-3d8022b7d07f",
  key_content: "Base64_encode_of_-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----\nfewfawefawfe\n-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----",
  is_key_content_base64: true
)

Well, to not get stuck, I edited the token.rb and assigned the value of my private key into the key variable after line 62 🤦🏻‍♂️

It seems like you have not included the output of fastlane env
To make it easier for us help you resolve this issue, please update the issue to include the output of fastlane env 👍

Also can confirm that. I'm using the same Using fastlane 2.209.0 version and tried everything but error is still the same

[nikki-cat]

I had the same error.
I did a workaround where i used a filepath to the actual .p8 file instead..

[itsnaidu]

@bonkowski Did you get any workaround for it? I too was facing the similar issue.

[fastlane-bot]

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.

Please make sure to update to the latest fastlane version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍

Friendly reminder: contributions are always welcome! Check out CONTRIBUTING.md for more information on how to help with fastlane and feel free to tackle this issue yourself 💪

This issue will be auto-closed if there is no reply within 1 month.

[aendel]

Nevertheless it's a workaround, thanks to @blyscuit , I made it work.

[sinisa503]

Is there any progress with this?
We are having issues with this for a last 2 or 3 weeks.
Here are some error logs...

In our project, we've chosen to safeguard the .p8 key file by storing it within Azure KeyVault as a secret. To effectively manage the key while ensuring it remains unaltered, we've adopted a base64 encoding strategy prior to its storage. The steps to reproduce our approach are detailed below:

Storing the .p8 Key File in Azure KeyVault:

Step 1: First, base64 encode the key file:

base64 -i ios/AuthKey_ABCDEFGH.p8 > encoded.txt

Step 2: Manually copy the content from encoded.txt and save it as a secret within Azure KeyVault.

Retrieving and Decoding the Key within a GitHub Actions Workflow:

Step 1: Fetch the base64-encoded key from Azure KeyVault:

az keyvault secret show --name <SECRET_NAME> --vault-name <KEYVAULT_NAME> --query "value" | tr -d '"' > encoded.txt

Step 2: Decode the fetched base64 content to retrieve the original .p8 key:

base64 -D -i encoded.txt > ios/AuthKey_ABCDEFGH.p8
