@NLueg For IOS you will have to add DER certificate, refer image:

[rsgone-aviso]

Ever after using DER base certificate still no luck :(

[shivakumarnr]

@rsgone-aviso Once you add new .der certificate please rebuild the project. If after that the same issue persists your certificate as expired.

[rsgone-aviso]

@shivakumarnr It is very basic that after adding certificate/any-change, we will rebuild project for sure. BTW certificate is not expired as well. Thank you
