Xcode 9 "no iTunes Connect account" error when uploading

P

With a certain project in Xcode 9 beta 6 when I try to Upload to the App Store I get:

I am the "Admin" role for this account.

All contracts are up-to-date
I tried removing/re-adding my account from Xcode prefs several times
Submitting for the same project from Xcode 8 works (however I need to upload from Xcode 9 for this project because it links against iOS 11 beta)

Another developer on the team is seeing the same thing so this seems like it might be common. Anyone find a workaround?

As of early October Apple seems to have worked all these issues out on the backend. Without updating Xcode lots of various issues like this have disappeared. – Portwine 11/10, 2017 at 16:13

Hey brother the accepted answer should be https://mcmap.net/q/174822/-xcode-9-quot-no-itunes-connect-account-quot-error-when-uploading – Neuro 30/3, 2018 at 6:11

I encountered the same issue with xCode 9 GM build and others reported it as well in xCode 10 and xCode 11. Deleting the derived data actually solved it for me. Hopefully it will help others as well.

Close xCode
rm -fr ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
Reopen xCode and try to upload again

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It worked like a charm with XCode 9.0.1 – Generalization 9/1, 2018 at 3:7

Yes, that worked with Mac OS High Sierra and latest Xcode. – Ryon 5/4, 2018 at 23:14

This should be the accepted answer, worked for xcode 9.3 – Gloucester 6/4, 2018 at 13:29

Switching this to the accepted answer since so many are reporting success. (I haven't run into this again since I wrote the Q.) – Portwine 16/4, 2018 at 21:51

Is there any logic explanation why is derived data making difference for uploading archive to app store? – Eviaevict 10/5, 2018 at 11:5

worked for me Xcode 9.4.1 (just thought i'd keep the thread going) – Bombproof 24/7, 2018 at 22:11

A year later, still the best solution. I don't even bother going to apple support forums now - stack has all the answers. – Ivonne 28/8, 2018 at 15:22

WTF! it worked xD Another thing wrong by apple i think – Fenner 11/10, 2018 at 14:55

Thanks. But... why does this even work ! I can't see the relationship. – Patricapatrice 22/11, 2018 at 9:52

Cannot believe it that Xcode 11 suddenly gave me this error, and deleting derived data was the solution. – Gasometer 20/5, 2020 at 4:15

This seems to be issue with Xcode 9. Solution is to use Application Loader tool.

Step 1 : Create an IPA file

Clean your project from Product -> Clean (cmd + shift + k )
Select Product -> Archive
Once archive is successfully completed it will open in Organizer window
Press Export button present on right side

Now select the distribution method as per your need and click on Next button

This will show the App Store distribution options. Now click on Next button

Re-sign your project (preferred is Automatically manage signing) and click on Next button

There will be Review window containing IPA content details. Click on Export.

Now choose the location where folder is to be saved and Click on Export.

This will create an folder containing IPA, packaging.log, DistributionSummary.plist and ExportOptions.plist file

Step 2 : Upload IPA using Application Loader

Right click on Xcode tool present on Slide-bar. Goto Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader

This opens Application Loader. Press on Choose button and select IPA file.

This will analyse IPA file and will show IPA details. You can press on Activity button to see list of activity performed while uploading app. Click on Next.

This will create iTunes Connect API analysis file.

Once it is successfully uploaded it will show Success. Now click on Next.

You IPA file is submitted to AppStore successfully

I came to SO because I was having the same problem. I had already solved it using Application Loader too, and wanted to share my success in case it wasn't already answered. Seeing what you left, even though I had already solved my issue, I had to leave you an upvote because of your exhaustive and helpful answer for those that are unfamiliar with the export/AppLoader process. Thank you for taking the time! – Calvano 26/10, 2017 at 23:1

I was trying 1- logout/login 2- restart xcode 3- remove derived data/restart 4- full clean / rebuild / try to republish 5- ....... and so on. Till I came to StackOverflow and i saw your answer which deserve THANK YOU for your time and effort to explain man :) . – Specht 28/10, 2017 at 20:35

I have upload my app (which is written in Objective C) through this steps , but not able to see this build on iTunes. what will be the issue? – Halsted 17/11, 2017 at 11:34

@Halsted : Your app will be visible when status is 'Ready for Sale'. If the status is 'Ready for Sale' and still not able to see on AppStore then wait for few hours (2 to 4) to appear. This happened with my case...had to wait for 2 hours. If still app dosen't appear then get in touch with Apple Support team. – Nichol 20/11, 2017 at 7:7

Even unable to login to application loader. Apple seriously need to do something to make upload process smooth and to make it work on one go. – Gowon 6/7, 2018 at 12:44

@Gowon : Which version of Xcode / Application loader are you using? – Nichol 19/7, 2018 at 7:19

Also having this issue @Gowon - the team I want doesn't show in the list in the top left of Application Loader – Axum 11/9, 2018 at 16:1

@Axum I am still struggling with login to application loader. The message i am getting is "Your apple id or password was entered incorrectly." – Gowon 12/9, 2018 at 6:34

@Axum : Maybe try after sometime or restart your system. – Nichol 17/9, 2018 at 12:3

The only solution I have found for now, is to generate IPA for AppStore and then upload it with Application Loader.

Lancelle answered 4/9, 2017 at 6:56 Comment(3)

App Loader was the only solution here that worked for me. Xcode 8.3.2, directions here: help.apple.com/itc/apploader/#/apdS673accdb – Promycelium 14/9, 2017 at 22:27

This is just a work around, does not fix the actual issue. – Ryon 5/4, 2018 at 23:15

I just had this happen to me and this was my solution.

Full Quit out of xCode 9
Reopen xCode
Update to a new version number
Archive again

Result: It worked

It's a pretty basic fix, but hopefully it will for you too.

Aleta answered 27/10, 2017 at 1:30 Comment(1)

This worked for me as well. Seems to be an intermittent issue (maybe with the connection to iTunesConnect?) – Drawknife 30/1, 2018 at 3:52

None of the mentioned answers helped me. Below I am mentioning what all I have tried to solve the issue but didn't work.

i) Check provisioning profile & Certificate combination.

ii) Clean

iii) Quit Xcode

iv) Delete derived data

v) Restart Xcode

What worked for me is

i) Open Xcode preferences

ii) Check iTunes account you are using. If it is already logged in, remove it.

iii) Login the iTunes account again

iv) Xcode will start process automatically once it gets access now.

v) Select the provisioning profile that you are using again while Xcode asks for it in the popup.

vi) Xcode will proceed upload process.

This worked for me. Hope it will save some of your's time as well.

I just had a call with Apple developer customer support. They said its a known issue and the team is actively working on it. But there is no timeline insight.

Following solution that worked for me. Use Xcode 8 until Apple engineers fix this issue:

The solution may work even if you don't downgrade to Xcode 8

Steps for Downgrading form Xcode 9 to Xcode 8

1. Download Xcode 8 from:
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

2. Install Xcode 8.

3. Create an ipa build
In Xcode go to
Menu -> Product -> Archive -> Export

4. Use the Application Loader to upload your ipa to iTunes connect
Application Loader can be found at:
In Xcode go to
Xcode -> Open Developer Tools -> Application Loader

Let me know if it helped

Jumbala answered 22/9, 2017 at 20:35 Comment(2)

Interesting. Unfortunately most of my apps use the iOS 11 SDK so I can't submit with Xcode 8. – Portwine 23/9, 2017 at 23:41

You can do the same process using xcode 9. I have mentioned that downgrade may not be needed. – Jumbala 25/9, 2017 at 1:52

The same case happened to me. Also when I tried to get crash reports, it shows that my session has expired.

I have just restarted my Xcode and it worked.

In My case none of the above solutions worked,

I have an access for both Developer account and iTunes Connect account, but I faced the same Issue.

The only option worked for me is updating my MAC OS before it was 10.13.4, after update to 10.13.6 the problem was resolved. Hope this will help to someone.

I've managed to get it working by creating a new user in iTunes Connect, with just the "Developer" role.

For me, that also required to creating a new Apple ID.

I then added that new user in Xcode:

Now it seems to work.

What works for me is to

remove the apple ID from the accounts known to XCode
to add the account again (do not import the account again)

See On Xcode 7 I keep receiving error "No accounts with iTunes connect access"

Reynoso answered 13/9, 2017 at 12:24 Comment(2)

Thanks but as I listed in the original I've tried that and it doesn't work in my case. – Portwine 13/9, 2017 at 15:44

For others looking for solutions: Tried this with my Xcode 8.3, with no effect. Only by "exporting" a .ipa file and using Application Loader was I able to upload. – Promycelium 14/9, 2017 at 22:37

Edit: This worked for me in Xcode 9 GM. I don't know if it will be an issue in the final version

What worked for me is that I changed my regular AppleID email, with the equivalent @icloud.com alias.

For example, I didn't use [email protected], I used [email protected] and it worked.

(Which I really don't prefer, I prefer using my personal email, but if it works, it works)

Gynaecology answered 14/9, 2017 at 17:32 Comment(2)

Could you elaborate on where you used this? That is, did you edit your apple ID at apple's website, or change your Xcode accounts list under Xcode preferences... etc? I would like to try this, as nothing else has worked, but I'm unsure what to try changing. – Promycelium 14/9, 2017 at 22:11

@BillPatterson I used it to log in within Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts – Gynaecology 15/9, 2017 at 4:29

I could not use application loader because my password is not accepted. Even after changing my Apple ID password it was not accepted.

Restarting XCODE solved the upload problem this time. But it is a repetitive problem.

Apple is becoming a nightmare... XCode and iTunesConnect always have been...

yes its true,developement for apple has become such a crap – Insobriety 29/12, 2018 at 3:56

I just removed and re-added my developer account for the Xcode 9. To remove account goto preferences -> select your account -> hit the minus icon(-). To add your account just click on the + icon next to it.

Restarting the laptop fixed this. Didn't try restarting XCode itself, just rebooted the whole laptop.

I also encountered with the same problem. But after I updated the Xcode to the current latest version of Xcode 9.2 solved my problem. I took the update on 2017-12-21.

For me remove derived data, clean project and try again working fine.

Please follow below steps:

Quit XCode
rm -fr ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
Reopen XCode and try to upload again

Hope it will help!

Closed Xcode and reopened it. This worked for me. This was also the most popular answer on the apple forum. Do this first.

Your xCode must be open for longer time.

Quit the xCode and Reopen. It will work.

Got the same issue fixed with below steps. Just do Quit XCode completely even dock too then wait for few seconds and Reopen the Xcode then proceed to Archive again freshly. then believe problem solve :). All the best.

Solution that worked for me in Xcode 9.1

Go to Preferences.
Go to Accounts tab.
Select the desired account.
If there is a login expired error displayed, login again.
Make sure the error has gone away.
Restart Xcode.
Try to upload the archive again.

Here's what worked for me (after trying many times of signing-out and signing-in):

Sign out your Apple ID (by going to Preferences with Cmd+,)
Sign in with your Apple ID, and make sure you sign in with ***@icloud.com
Somehow it all started working for me...

Posting it here in case it's helpful to anyone else. Have no clue how this solved the problem (and how the problem emerged in the first place).

Actually, it's apple server error. So, wait for some time and then upload. It'll work.

In my case this is the problem of firewall when I connected to other network it's working.
