APNs Auth Key download error after revoking old key — “already downloaded” for new key

I created an APNs Auth Key in the Apple Developer portal and downloaded it successfully once.
Later, due to some issues, I revoked that key.

After that, I created a new APNs Auth Key.
The download button appears, but when I click it, I get the message:

"Auth Key can only be downloaded once. This auth key has already been downloaded."

This is incorrect because:

  • The key is newly created in my account.
  • I have tried multiple browsers (Safari, Chrome), private/incognito mode, and even a different laptop.
  • I have no other active APNs Auth Keys in my account.

Without this .p8 file, I cannot configure push notifications for my iOS app (using Firebase Cloud Messaging).
This is blocking my production release.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to reset or force a fresh APNs Auth Key when this happens?

The team is aware of the issue and working on resolving it. We don't have an ETA at this time.

any updates for that issue??
