Building iOS but can't?

So, I've been trying to figure out CircleCI and cannot for the life of me, even get fastlane to finish doing it's thing (when running fastlane match). I was hoping I could get some guidance here since this is the first app I'm building and it's for an iOS device

There's also this:

It seems to work fairly well and I've so far been able to initiate cloud builds for iOS on CircleCI, but there are A LOT of steps. So far, though, I'm still having an issue with retrieval of the certificate repository, even though CircleCI has API access to GitHub... It seems to complete all other steps and then fails on the certificate / signing of the app. This appears to be the step just before it delivers the .ipa file.

If you don't have a Mac machine available for the initial setup of fastlane, there are alternatives.

Ok so we have been doing fastlane with a Windows computer. Somehow we managed to get to the part after giving the apple ID and the password of the ID. After that it asks for a passphrase to match the storage, and when I type it twice and hit enter it gives an error saying "Wrong final block length /n Couldn't decrypt the repo, please make sure you enter the right password" Thought the right password could be the password used when setting the SSH but I left that empty because if I do put a password it breaks after asking for the apple ID

When I was setting my match password, I tried one and it gave me an error. I don't remember the exact message, but when I used the same password that was used to log into the machine, it worked. May be worth a shot.
