Cannot Register Apple Developer Account

I am new to Appium Studio. The version I used is 10.8.41.
The attempt to log the Apple developer account when adding a iOS device is alway failed.
The error is “Failed to get list teams: Could not login”
Changing a PC or using mac version didn’t change the result.
How to fix this?

Are you able to login to this account using the Apple developer portal?
https://developer.apple.com/account/

Yes, the account is able to login the Apple developer portal.

In additional to this, I use certs(.p12/.mobileprofile) to bypass the login issue. However, the device column is empty.
However, there are two device associated with this profile:

Is this normal?

The Devices will list devices that you added to the Appium studio.
So you need to have the devices listed in the Device section:

How to trace or see log about the login process?
Any with thoughts about this?
With version 10.9 updated, I still have trouble logining my Apple ID.

Please Help

Do we have any further information regarding this issue? I’m having the same issue.

I was recently added to the Apple Developer Program for my company as a member.

I then used the Certificate Signing Request steps through XCode so I would be listed as an iOS Developer in the Developer Certificates for our team, which I did about 30 minutes ago.

Do I need to wait? Or should I be able to use the iOS Code Signing Configuration option to sign into my iOS Developer Account?

I also verified that the credentials I’m using are able to log into https://developer.apple.com/account without issue. Any suggestions?

AppiumStudio Version 11.0.64
OS: mac OS Sierra version 10.12.6

Let me know if you require further system information.

Hi

did you try registering the account into Appium Studio and got the same error?

is it an enterprise account?

If you are not able to register your account, you could try manually issuing a mobileprovision + certificate (p12 file)

please follow the documentation on the same

https://docs.experitest.com/display/public/SA/Creating+a+provision+profile

Hello Tom,

Thanks for responding. No, it is not an enterprise account. We are using the Community Edition.

I seem to be having an issue with the last link you provided (iOS Profile Management and Creating Certificates and Provision Profiles).

When I open up the iOS Code Signing Configuration modal, I don’t get what you have listed in your documentation (see below.)

Is this because we are using the Community Edition rather than the free trial of the enterprise version?
I’m not able to register my account, but was able to manually create the mobileprovision & p12 certificate. I just don’t seem to have a way to import it.

Hi! Quaternions,
This issue is created by me and it never bothers me again.
All you have to do is getting the “app-specific passwords” from Apple developer site and use it with your apple ID to login.
For more information about “app-specific passwords”, you can read the official document here:


Maybe this work for you, too.

I admit this is a dumb issue but block me several weeks due to the lack of document after they rename the product.
This is not a technical issue and should be taken care of in the beginning’s guide.

Thank you very much for this, Scott. This worked like a champ. I wished they would update their documentation for this. Such a simple solution should be in their official documentation.

Yes as you said, we have to go to https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin
and Log_in with your apple id, go to security, and Generate app-specific password and use that password as our apple id password to log in to AppiumStudio.
I believe this issue is caused because Apple introduced two-factor authentication, and the app is not handling that, Apple thought about it before it introduced this two-factor authentication and it allowed users to create an app specific password.
