I would like to publish my first iOS app in the AppStore.

Unfortunately I’m stuck at the following point in Visual Studio (Windows):
When I click Options -> Xamarin -> Apple Accounts -> MY_ACCOUNT -> MY_TEAM -> Details -> “Create Certificate” I cannot click “iOS-distribution”. iOS-distribution is grayed out. iOS development is clickable.

Checklist:

• I am registered in the Apple Developer Program.
• I logged in to appstoreconnect.apple.com and filled out all the forms (taxes…).
• I created an App Store Connect API key with administrator access under appstoreconnect. I have successfully stored this key in Visual Studio. It is displayed and the role is also set to Administrator.Creating iOS-development certificates works without any problems.

Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

I follow the official instructions from Microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/ios/deployment/publish-app-store?view=net-maui-8.0&tabs=vs#create-a-distribution-certificate) – but I just can’t get any further at this point.
