In my Keychain Access I have my distribution certificates and there is an odd bug where if I delete a certain certificate, it comes back after I close the application or if I restart Xcode. This certificate is my second distribution certificate and I do not use it for anything but whenever I try to archive something it says:
(My Name) distribution certificate appears more than once in the
keychain.
So I delete it and everything is fine because I didn’t restart anything. But once I do, it comes back even though I delete it!
Is this a bug or something?
I think it’s a bug with the Keychain application. I am having the same problem but with other Keychain items. I delete them but as soon as I interact with an application that uses the Keychain, such as a web browser visiting a page with a remembered password, all of the removed items comes back. It doesn’t matter if I restart the computer after the deletion, the items still comes back.
I’ve had the very same thing happening in Safari where cookies keep coming back. Both on OS X Snow Leopard and Lion. Very frustrating and worrying.
