"No value was provided for the parameter 'scope'" error when registering for Apple push key

Build/Submit details page URL

No response

Summary

I accidentally deleted my eas push key from my https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/authkeys/list in the Apple Developer console.

I went to create a new one using eas build by adding

  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 14.5.0",
    "appVersionSource": "remote",
    "promptToConfigurePushNotifications": true
  },

promptToConfigurePushNotifications: true to the cli section in my eas.json.

When running eas credentials eas confirms that I have no push keys attached to my project.

However, when running eas build I confirm that I would like to set up Push Notifications for my project and get this error that kills the build

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

Not sure how to create on a blank project. Think this could be related to the interaction between eas and apple.

Had the same issue @eriktoor

Updating the expo-cli fixed it for me:

npm install -g eas-cli

[brentvatne]

as @luhart suggested, you can fix this by updating to the latest version of EAS CLI. we always recommend using the latest version. in this case, we updated it to match a new API from Apple
