This certificate has an invalid issuer

Well, it suddenly started working later in the day. I have no idea what caused the original issue.

If you have multiple macs, you can export the certificate and import it on another machine. That worked for me.

If you only have access to the one mac... wait four hours, cross your fingers and try again?

Is there a way to make Apple Push Services certificate life time valid?

No, You need to renew your certificate every year because it can ensure your developers account is still active and in working state.
