Xcode 8.3.3 "No accounts with iTunes Connect access"

Question

When trying to upload an App to iTunes connect in Xcode 8.3.3, I get the error:

iTunes Connect access for "Team-Name" is required. Add an account in the Accounts preference plane.

The account already exists and (in some cases) has been working without incident previously.

How do I get around this issue with Xcode so that I can upload my app to the AppStore?

Solution 1

Had the same problem, First had to export the .ipa to disk using XCode and then upload to the AppStore with Application Loader tool.

It worked.

Solution 2

I suspect that Apple has broken something with the IOS 11, etc upgrades going on. It was all working fine over the last few months, including yesterday, and suddenly today its broken.

As a temporary solution, I had to use export to local disk (from Archive), then select: XCode/Open Developer Tool/Application Loader.

Solution 3

Had the same stupid problem. Ultimately exported the .ipa to disk (via Xcode itself) and used altool command line tool to upload the ipa. It worked!!

altool --upload-app -f YourIpa.ipa -u <username>

Apple should really spend some $$$ on improving Xcode and the overall Developer experience. Its painful.

I again went back to Xcode to try and upload but met with the same error, so command line was indeed helpful.

Solution 4

A restart to Xcode did the job for me

Solution 5

I just spoke with an Apple rep, and he said I had to update to Xcode 9 GM and rebuild. After doing that, I was able to upload builds again.

Seems like Apple may have broken something. Can confirm exporting and using Application Loader works though

[Rhusfer]

I cannot login on Application Loader even if my appId and password is correct.

I had a problem running the old version of Application Loader. I had to run it from xCode->Open Developer Tool and then I didn't have to muck with my account.

[Valentin Shamardin]

Application loader asks for an app-specific password :(

[Yury Bushev]

Disable 2-factor auth as well.

[cloudcal]

I had to disable 2 factor auth as well before uploading with Application Loader.

[DevManny]

Launch Xcode > Xcode menu > Open Developer Tool > Application Loader.

[Ibdakine]

Application Loader won't let me sign in using my standard account info. Any suggestions on how I make this work? Thanks!

[Praveen Kondapalli]

Thank you the xcode upload to App store failed, but command line altool did uploaded successfully. Here the username=AppleID

[WiRa]

@Valentin, just create an app specific password, then it works (for me at least...)!

[Anirudha Mahale]

@mtkale Then how do I validate the archive before uploading?

[mtkale]

You can validate using XCode's Build -> Archieve tool. There is a button on the right hand side "Validate".

[Jan]

worked for us as well. you need to answer a couple of new questions and finally the app uploads again...

[XCode Warrier]

@ibdakine - you have to go to appleid.apple.com and generate an app specific password to use with Application Loader.

i have tried to upload using Application Loader but still getting error from Application loader "The application account information was incorrect."

[Starwave]

Started laughing, a single restart of Xcode fixed it for me :D

@bLacKhoLE try "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framewo‌​rk/Versions/A/Suppor‌​t/altool"

Last time I had this issue, it was solved by updating Xcode. It has come back 6 months later, so I am just about to find out if that still works.

[Ethan Parker]

Yeah, I hope more people try this, it worked for me. I also did a quick clean of the project after I restarted and it's fine. CMD+Shift+K

[Rajesh]

Restarting the Xcode did the job for me. First rule of IT, if something doesn't work, "Restart"

[Sahil Kapoor]

You have to completely quit Xcode and then restart it to make it work. Merely closing the Xcode window won't work.
