I followed these instructions

My build.yml:

name: Build App

on:
  push:
    #tags: v*.*.*

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}

    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [macos-latest] # , ubuntu-latest, windows-latest

    steps:
      - name: Check out Git repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - name: Install Node.js, NPM and Yarn
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 14

      - name: Prepare for app notarization
        if: startsWith(matrix.os, 'macos')
        run: |

          API_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_API_KEY_ID }}
          API_KEY_ISSUER_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_API_KEY_ISSUER_ID }}

I think I solved the problem - I used the wrong certificate
